Thanks to help from running buddy Jeff I managed to hold a nice long run pace and only turned into a merchant marine with a mile left. Fortunately, Jeff told me he still likes me even after a 20 mile run which is difficult to do sometimes since I do venture into the bite me zone at that point. Cute K knows all about this….
In other awesome weekend news I volunteered at the BRA half mary and 5K on Sunday. I love volunteering at this race because the running group has done so much for me and I consider each and every one of them family. Everyone who ran did great and I was SO proud of my cousin Mark who ran his first ever 5K. I ran him in almost to the finish and then told him to kick it in and he did. Way to represent Cuz!
Other than my run and volunteering I got some stuff done around my new pad and went to the annual extended family holiday party. I must admit that going to a party with a plethora of food after a 20 mile run does not do much by way of “healthy eating.” Let’s just say I made our Cuban food buffet my bitch.
Now about that honey badger…
A little motivation for the racers. What was really hilarious was this young guy, maybe in his early 20’s, was in the top ten finishing the half when he saw my sign. He turned around and ran backwards all while yelling, “Look at the honey badger! He runs backwards!” Oh my lord, it killed me. I was cracking up.
Some of the lovely ladies from the BRA who showed what true honey badger gangsta faces look like. And finally P-Funk and I debating the age old question of who is most awesome. She says me, I say her. It’s really quite the debate.
And of course, I’m rocking my Punk Rock Racing tee. I love the question about what the HTFU means. I’m not telling. You’ll have to figure that one out on your own. Peace!
Love, love, love the HB sign! And love the punk rock racing tee (I know what HTFU means)!
B.o.B.!!!! Anyone reading this blog would agree that you're like the busiest person on this earth!!! You're beeboppin' and scattin'!!
So that makes YOU more awesome….but keep disagreeing. I like the debate. 😉
Glad you had an awesome 20 miler and weekend! Mine was pretty awesome too and extended! Don't you love volunteering it is so rewarding to be on the other side!
Love the punk rock racing tee! http://www.dashingdiva.net
awesome! i'm sorry i missed you in orlando but we actually got on an earlier flight and only had a 12 minute layover. next time!
The honey badger sign is the best–how could a runner not pick up the pace when they see that? And great job on the long run.
Hey, you looked pretty good after that 20 miler! Glad you had a good run. You are gonna make Miami your biatch girl! Love the HB sign. HTFU: velominati.com rule #5. Harden the f*ck up!
I think both you and P-funk are awesome! No need to debate. Congrats on the 20-miler. And I totally feel you on the "bite me" feelings during the long run. I have been experiencing the same on everyone of my recent long runs. I guess I haven't been running long enough to know this happens to me on long runs.
Love the sign. Glad you had a good 20 miler!
WTH is a honey badger!
HTFU is on my wrist for every race I do.
Seriously…the honey badger is the best…
OMG no he didn't?!?!? That is HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!
