Sweaty Sunday



This is a picture I took of my sweaty self today after running 6 miles....that's right, 6 miles. Ok, so for some of you olympic athletes 6 miles is a mere jog in the park, but I think it's a lot....especially in the heat of the day, especially while breathing in the exhaust fumes from New York's FDR Highway.

So, basically I posted this picture:
1) so that you would feel sorry for (and proud of me) for all that running and
2) because I've never posted a pic on my blog and felt like today was as good a day as any to get started.

And to have an excuse to advertise that I'll be running the NYC Half Marathon on August 5th. Yikes, that's only a month away...and to think the distance I ran today was only half of the real thing. My lungs are collapsing just thinking about it. But for realz, if you are in the area (or want an excuse to be in the area) come on out at 7 am to cheer a sister on.
