Wowzer! You're rockin' the bike pics, girl!!!

CA 10K July 25th? Again, behind on reading, so I'm seeing this for first time. My apologies (bows head in shame). Shelley! That's super cool AND a very good thing you ran 5 miles. Girl, get that foundation in there. I tanked on my first 10K last October (and posted about the HORRIBLE experience) b/c I was NOT prepared. Had only run 4 miles prior and thought, "No big deal." HA! Paid the price.

That's cool that you can set Ricky Bobby for intervals. That's the Galloway method and I'm LOVING it. Got my baby sister to her first PR this weekend using intervals. Good stuff. :)

As for water bottles and carbs for fuel, um in Texas?? YES! YES! YES! In CA, too... are you ready for hills???

When you are coming to CENTRAL FLORIDA to run (insert whining and grinning here)...???

HUGS, friend!

Great new bike photos! You must be so proud of your efforts! Way to be an inspiration to all 'forty-somethings' and beyond!!

OMG I love those bike poses!!! So inspirational.

You know, if you wore a top that clumped less at the waist I bet you would see a BIG difference between 77 and 110 pounds lost. There's too much fabric there that you are hiding behind!

Oh Shelley, I can TOTALLY tell a difference in the photos!

My own Ricky Bobby is coming in the mail today. I am so excited!

Way to rock out those workouts Shelley! I bet its nice (hard) having Brad back in the gym!

Your bike is still so cute - love it and you look amazing!!

Hey, stranger. I have a small break so I wanted to play catch up. :)

YEAH!! 5 miles and the bib! I'm so so so happy for you. That's a great accomplishment. You're going to do fantastic in the Wharf-to-Wharf plus you're going to have so much fun.

I love that bike. Really do. And I see a HUGE difference. You're the incredible shrinking woman. :)

((HUGS))

You are really shrinking in front of that bike!

2010-07-01T01:04:00.232-05:00

You look really good in the dress! Well, you're right that there is not as stark a difference compared to last year but you have to agree: there IS a difference. Plus, the important thing is you kept it off and lost more.

This is one inspiring story!! :)

2010-06-30T20:57:58.770-05:00

I love the bike! It kind of reminds me of my first bike I had as a kid. It was pink with a pink and white banana seat!

You ran 5 miles? My boobs hurt just thinking about it.

Your updated picture just blows me away. Seriously, you look downright sexy with that smile!

I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but ...

2010-06-30T18:38:49.508-05:00

I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but you look like a GIRL compared to that older woman in the picture last year. 110 pounds and years off your appearance. And, I have to think years added to your life.

Wow, wow, wow! The dress is very cute.

You look so great! You rock star!

2010-06-30T18:36:45.783-05:00

You look so great! You rock star!

So, are you going to California just for the race? If so, you are definately "hard core"...you rock!

2010-06-30T16:17:47.447-05:00

Even if you didn't ride in that dress, it is one HOT dress! and you look HOT in it.
Sometimes my Garmin poops out on me, it says "are you indoors" when it can't find a satellite. He is a little sensitive, I might add.
Go for you, Ms. 5 miler! Love the stick.

Yea! Five miles down!

I ride my bike in a running skirt all the time. Just wear compression shorts under it.

2010-06-30T13:38:13.280-05:00

5 miles???
I bet you could ride in the dress.

Remember that most of the people who "run" the wharf to wharf, walk it or shoot up while walking it. You'll probably win it!

2010-06-30T13:20:24.749-05:00

That ab workout is like doing the captain's chair. Deceptively hard.

Yay for bike pictures. It's funny how your bike looks giant next to tiny you now.
