But comments/suggestions are as always welcome.<br /><br />As for the run-walk-run method: you should try it. It works perfect for me. The mental block of running that far is gone now I&#39;ve split it up in &quot;short&quot; runs. For me it works, I&#39;m happy I made the decision.Franhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10287705328335828286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-33731261139859288662010-07-31T10:39:33.253-05:002010-07-31T10:39:33.253-05:00Shelley, congrats on the magazine mention, that&#39;s so cool!!

And your trip looks like it was wonderful; you and your friend are clearly having a wonderful time!<br /><br />Okay, onto the clothes! :)<br />1. I am not at all surprised to see you rocking the sheath. Yes, your body is changing from the exercise, and as you keep going with it, it will continue to change. You may have extra bits now around your middle, but I don&#39;t think it will be forever. And the great secret of sheaths is that you can find ones made of certain materials that don&#39;t *cling* to you but instead stand up on their own as a shape and let your body fit into it rather fitting around YOU, if that makes any sense. Like the one you have here!<br /><br />Love the ombre top with the white jeans -- see how that works so much better than with a darker bottom? <br /><br />Hee I got the same tee that you got in black, but mine were yellow and white! <br /><br />Boyfriend jeans fit differently than regular jeans -- they are supposed to be looser and baggier in spots, and the sizing is often not the same as regular jeans. <br /><br />LOVE that pretty black dress! The collar is so cool on you!Kristenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06166689210558948213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-7575446996532655912010-07-30T15:49:05.007-05:002010-07-30T15:49:05.007-05:00I love it Shelley! You just look so fabulous. Being between a 6 and an 8 - can you believe you wrote that without there being a 1 (or even 2) in front of that single digit??<br /><br />Sounds like a fabulous time!Lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09781375451012608773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-63603654273647766572010-07-30T15:03:53.204-05:002010-07-30T15:03:53.204-05:00Congrats on the WW world shout out! Your traffic&#39;s gonna skyrocket :)<br /><br />LOVE the blue dress. My favorite photo, though, is of you in the wedding dress. Very nice. <br /><br />Congrats to Barbara! <br /><br />Can&#39;t wait to meet you and Debby together in one room so I can be the tall one. <br /><br />Bunny on the head? Is that like walking with a book on your head to learn poise? Hmmm....<br /><br />Oh, and I see the visual verification below is a big red X again. Sigh...I hope this works.

I&#39;m glad you didn&#39;t take offense at me saying you were short--I mean, its silly when I am SO short. Body dysmorphia or something. Anyway, what I didn&#39;t say was that the rest of the time I kept thinking about how tiny you are, as in so slim. Just fantastic what you have done, and inspiration for me to keep trying. When I run now I always think about the progress you have made with your running. I&#39;m glad people said we looked like sisters. That&#39;s what I thought when I saw the pics myself.<br /><br />That dress is definitely a classic. And it fits you PERFECTLY. A lot of colors look really good on you. I think turquoise is a classic on you.<br /><br />I laughed and SO related to the a whale and its not me comment. My animals were whale and elephant. Still love both of them...<br /><br />So glad we got to meet. Maybe I&#39;ll get to come cheer you on at your next race out here.debbyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17967505760808535408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-44255086458234293762010-07-30T12:50:47.736-05:002010-07-30T12:50:47.736-05:00You look gorgeous in the black long dress and I love the white jean jacket.

That&#39;s a roller coaster and a death grip! I&#39;ve been to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Really cool.<br /><br />I always wanted a sister, too, but came to the conclusion that she would have been thin and &quot;Mom&#39;s favorite&quot;. I would have been jealous of Debby growing up, too.<br /><br />Lots of great fashion finds; looking forward to future Fashion Fridays.

Let me think...first, you and Debby could almost be sisters! How great to meet up and catch up with a blogger!<br /><br />The dresses are so cute - you look fantastic. The first dress was my favorite - great colors on you.<br /><br />Now that you&#39;ve been quoted in a magazine, will you be signing autographs? I have to try that water, though I don&#39;t think I&#39;ve seen it on the east coast.<br /><br />Your whole trip looks like it was an endless blast of fun and connection.
