My First Blog Meet-Up and Funny Running Shirts


While we were in Houston for the Olympic Marathon Trials, I got to meet Laura, one of my blog buddies, at the Children's Museum. It was my very first blogger meet-up, and it was really fun. Too bad we don't live closer because I think we'd be good mom buddies, and good running buddies.  



After the Children's Museum, we had a much needed long nap back at the hotel, and then we headed to the Houston Marathon expo. I love walking around big marathon expos! The free samples might have something to do with that. I loaded up on Larabar minis, and sadly I just ate my last one yesterday. 


I saw several funny running shirts at the expo, so I took a few pictures of my favorites.


 As a new owner of a Garmin, this one made me smile. This one was probably my favorite. 



The truer they are, the more funny they are. Running is definitely my therapy, and my sanity. 



Scott pointed this one out. 



Ya, what could possibly go wrong? 




Do you have a favorite funny running quote?
Scott bought me a shirt last Christmas that says "Run Like a Mother" on the front, and on the back it says, "26.2 Miles of Peace and Quiet." Ha ha. Very true. I love it.

  7. Running quotes:
    "You don't have to go fast, you just have to go"
    "No matter how slow you think you're going, you are running laps around the people on the couch"
    "I'm not slow, I'm just getting my money's worth out of my race fee"
    and, on the back of a shirt: "If you can read this, I'm not last"

    Your blog is very inspiring! My best friend and I are beginning runners (we've done a half marathon and a 15K and loved both) but we are also dedicated Jillian Michaels girls (I love seeing that you do the 30 day shred)! The new dvd, Ripped in 30, is the same 3-2-1 format as shred, but it really kicks some serious butt!!
