Note to self: Don't chew gum on a 5K

It was suggested by my future mother-in-law that chewing gum would help so our mouth wouldn't dry out.. what she failed to realize is that it would result in one horrible race picture!!

Frances, you made me laugh. I'm sorry you didn't get the finish line photo you were probably hoping for, but this one is memorable in its own sense!

Good :) sharing was intended to provide humor ;)

The funny thing is that I thought, "oh, I'm going to have a great race picture" because I had been smiling.. but duh, didn't register that the times I was smiling wasn't necessarily when the photos would be shot.

Love it! It looks like a cold race. I'm doing them in capries and short sleeves and you're bundled up to the hilt!. Love the green socks. I want a pair and the hat for tomorrow!

Congrats again. I'm so proud of you!

Yeah, it was pretty chilly. Before the race started I was freezing, and was wondering if I would be sorry I only wore one pair of tights.. but I ended up being perfectly comfortable during the race. I think it was in the upper 30's.

Last night we were pushing 50 degrees and I went out in capri's, a T-shirt, and a hooded sweatshirt.
