Juana? Yes, please.
SBV Impala's were in full effect this morning with Gowri, Michelle, Katie and I representin' at the 9th annual Juana run. For Gowri it was a family affair as Paul AND Calvin (2nd place!) raced while Gowri played super support team for everyone. Three Impala's in the top 10: 1, 7, 8. Nice work, ladies! We all walked away with cute beer mugs and for the lucky overall winner a loaf of bread - I heart carbs ;)
How great would it be if there were more road races just 2 miles from your house?! I didn't have to get up until after 7am and I wasn't even registered AND had time to pick up my cafe au lait on the way. That said, I did nearly miss the start of the race since it was like A MILE from the parking lot! Just made for some extra strides which was helpful.
Katie muscled through despite feeling under the weather and having to bike it to the race (x-training, love it!) and Michelle ran tough with her monster finish passing 2 ladies in the final stretch. I managed to hold tough through the 5 miles, and felt *heaps* better than the brutal Chinese New Year 10K 2 weeks ago. Even managed a minor kick to hold off the one guy I had passed with 1.5 miles to go (he tried to come with a little somethin', somethin' but I was havin' none of it!) Two guys passed me just after the 1 mile marker and I guess they were trying to be umm, "cordial", because as they passed they said "Feel free to latch on to us." Cheers, mate, glad you're there to help and give me the go ahead. Ah, but maybe I'm I bit harsh in my spinster days of late . . .
Btw, signed all the closing papers to the house last Thursday (hooray!) and my spinsterhood is now officially of public record. Like a scene right out of Sex in the City, on 1 of a guh-zillion papers I had to sign it says something like "The owner is:" to which the title officer had typed: "[my name], AN UNMARRIED WOMAN". (Yes, in all CAPS!) And to that I just tip my virtual hat and say again very sarcastically, "cheers, mate." But seriously, we all had a good laugh at that one . . .
peace.

Thanks for the recap, sorry I had to miss out on the fun. Congrats to all as it sounds like you all put in great efforts.
My day was filled with hiking a coastal trail near a town called Bolinas (just past stinson beach), good quaility time with my man. I did manage to get my run in before we left but nothing compared to your race efforts.
Just trying to get stuff taken care of right now as tomorrow is a big LDR run/banquet day in Livermore.
Oh and congrats on signing all the papers shal, sounds like a grand affair!
WHo-hoo. Congrats on the papers. Don't let a little legal-ease bother you. BTW, I love that show. And I just watched a rerun that featured your fave Christian Louboutin shoes.
