Thanks Mom
27Jul08
I somehow made it through my first 10k. The 6.2 miles were BRUTAL, with some gnarly hills around north Capitol Hill. Running the tight uphill curves around Interlaken almost made me toss my cookies, but thinking about my Mom and her ovarian cancer got me pissed off enough to barrel through.
Here is to hoping that more little girls don’t have to grow up without their moms. And tell someone that you love them today. I sure did. <3

I said it on Flickr, Twitter and now will say it again: Serene you rock!! I wish I had been there to cheer you on, but I’m sure you had more than one voice shoutin’, hootin’, whistlin’ and encouraging you along the way, your mamasita.
I’m in awe of your completing this endeavor and I’m sure that even you will feel sore in the next couple of days, to know you have done this will work wonders as a soothing balm.
much love to you always,

You kick so much ass!
Congratulations on your awesome achievement. I am so very proud of you.
Great job, lady! You rock. I’m so proud of you for kicking that 10k in the balls.
Aww thanks you guys. Part of me was really reluctant to post the photo with the post because I’m grinning like someone who is stoked on life because I just got my ass handed to me, but fuck it. You all know I’m a big nerd and are nothing but supportive. So thanks you guys.
Catching up on my feeds and I just caught this. LOOK AT YOU. You kick ass and your mom was a hot-tee.
