Iam gonna tell ya that now !! read on!! Hey like my fancy Bib here ?? hu hu do ya?Do ya?? Ü



The Shoes are Laced up and READY!! See the fancy timing Chip in the laces .Hey ya know you want one. When I was running up UAA hill I saw 4 of them crushed on the ground . I kept looking to make sure mine was attached.




I learned that this was the MOST important spot before race time!! Also my "LOVELY" sister sent me this 15 things you wouldn't wanna see running! freaking funny go peek!!

This is For all my Dawg loven friends !see I do have a heart small as it is but this guy was so studly in his heart survivor hat!

This is what the start line looked like ahead of me about 10 minutes before the race. It was so crowded that I walked at least a half a block after the start. Just a crush of people. But it was all GOOD energy. people were FIRED UP!! At this point I was hopen not to throw up. Throwing up seems to be my new nervous reflex I've noticed. Not that i have throwen up OK who cares about that ???any way what was I talking about?


The Finish Line!! here we got Kaki and Frankie crossing. The got there walk ON baby! Was kinda cool cause I kept seeing them on the course. Witch made me most happy!



Team Shoes love how no one has the same brand!! 3 outta 4 have pink Ü

At the end of the Run. See How Happy we are?? Frankie Griffin I cant Thank you ENOUGH for getting me involved and fired up over this run! You are an AMAZING and inspiring women!!

OK here is what I learned from this run
1.) Don't forget to pack running underwear a thong is really not that lovely to run in.
2.) Its ok for people to pass you at the start because you WILL pass them on the HILL!
3.)You will find yourself running with a BIG ASS smile around mile 2 that lasts to the finish line
4.) That Iam proud of 90Th place in my age group and a Mat to Mat time of 34:48 doesn't suck
5.)Oranges make for lovely smiles!!


Whats next ?? Well the Women's Run of Course!!! June 12Th be there be or be square!!!

Happy St Patty's Day

Hey Andy NEEDED these Items to get in the St Patty's mood! And those Glasses are all the way from IRELAND via my good friend Dani. Here is Yoshi Chill'en with the Caveman and Andy WAYYYY back in October.
~OK FINALLY after MONTHS I can talk about the commercial I cant tell you how hard it is to keep stuff to yourself good lord . Now that its been filmed I thought Id share for those not in homer this little bit of info blatantly stole from the Homer Tribune



Key to the city
Though most Homer residents were completely unaware of the missing link that came to town last week, Time Bandit captains Johnathan and Andy Hillstrand welcomed Geico’s caveman onboard their infamous “Deadliest Catch” crabbing boat to film a commercial.
The film crew weathered some of the nastiest Homer weather in a decade, and winter storms and blizzards dumped snow and howled winds through much of the shooting.
Homer Travel Service provided some of the backdrop for shooting on Wednesday, while crews battled the elements on the deep water dock and Time Bandit deck for the rest of the shoot.
On Thursday, Homer Mayor Jim Hornaday officially welcomed the caveman to town and presented him with a key to the city. (Not Homer Travel should read All About You Salon error on reporters end)
