Random picture from two weeks ago that I wanted to share because hello legs!
Seriously I wish more of my legs were in this picture, because they look fantastic. I was wearing sneakers, imagine how they’d look in heels.

My legs are looking freaking FIERCE let me tell you. I really think I’ll get to the point where my thighs don’t touch verrrry soon.
I’m pretty sure my legs look bangin’ because I ran 102.34 miles this month, including a one week period where I ran 33.94 miles!
I LOVE NOLA!
Here’s a body shot for good measure 😛
My boobs may give me away that I’m not really a drag queen!
Meet Ikea Wonderland. More pics to come tomorrow!
Happy Halloween!!
Good Luck Mr. 365
Since I’m already day drinking on a street car in the french quarter I don’t know if I’ll remember to post this later. I want to send Mr. 365 lots of love and luck tomorrow in your superhero 5K. I know you are going to give it your all and own it.
Thanks for always been such a great friend and cheerleader!
Finisher!
Since I ran 2 half marathons in less than a month can I just say I ran a full marathon?
I’ll give a real recap later, but just wanted to share it was a tough run. I’m not making excuses, but being run down and dog tired the past 3 weeks affected my run for sure.
After a stellar first half of the race, mile 8 was full of frustration. I got some tree debris in my eye, I had to stop to pee and I walked for a minute or two to collect myself/calm myself down from being pissed about everything.
My tummy was hating me this run and on top of being tired I was extremely frustrated. I spent the last quarter of the race wishing it was over (I hated feeling that way).
I ran as hard as I could the last 4 miles without puking, crying, bleeding or pooping. All while being mad that I started the race with under 9 minute miles for the first 4.
My official race time isn’t posted yet. According to my nike+ sensor which I paused when I went to use a port-a-potty it had me at 2:16:53. I’m going to put my chip time closer to 2:19:00.
I’m disappointed in my time, but still proud of myself and my medal!
Race day
It’s 5:45am! I was too excited to sleep. I laid in bed for 5 hours, but I barely slept.
I’m sure I will be tired later, but that’s what post-race naps are for!
Right now I’m focused, ready and feel great.
See you all in 13.1!!
Holler for my cute race shirt, but I plan on reppin’ Auburn tomorrow.
Pre-Race Day!
I took my “mental health day” and it’s been glorious. I slept past noon!
I am currently working on my half playlist. I don’t think I’ll have time to post it all before I leave, but in honor of Halloween I have included “The Monster Mash” – I also have a bunch of songs from True Blood which takes place in Louisiana. I also am including some Rocky Horror Glee. I like to have suble themes in my playlists.
I know most of you won’t care, but there is a video on the race website of the route, I’m pretty stoked. Most of the run is on St. Charles street which I’ve heard nothing, but great things about. So check it out if you’s like http://www.jazzhalf.com/course
7am CST – I’ll be a running fool. I’m hoping to run it under 2:09:59. We shall see.
Then like 7pm CST I’ll be in drag and ready for some Halloween Hijinx.
I’m sure I’ll post some short posts from the ol’ Backberry this weekend, but I hope you all have a safe and fabulous Halloween weekend!
**Note: My race packet has been safely picked up and in the hands of my friend Melissa’s amazing friend Darlene!
