My Hero

Or should I say, heroine, is my mom. That's her, second from the right. Many of you know her and how amazing she is, but it seems to me she gets even better with age. She started the 10 week fitness challenge to support me and Ben, kind of on a whim. She rocked it coming in #3 just barely after me (I'm not entirely sure she didn't give me #2, but won't give her motherly secrets away) and was the only one over 35. We weighed the same going in, and out. She's had 5 kids, more than a few miscarriages, bad knees, heels, and arthritis in her lower back and hips. Not to mention menopause and very little sleep because of it. This Super Woman just ran her first 10 k, with two of her best friends, in one hour 11 minutes! She and her friends have been exercising together for 20+ years! I'm not sure which one is more impressive, but I sure am proud of my hot, skinny, LITTLE MAMA!

Sary,
You are too sweet! You are always an inspiration to me and everyone, if I did one thing right in this world it would be named Sara! P.S. I loved the pix with my hand over my face, my best shot ever! :)

Sary,
I forgot to say I love all your pix! You and Ruby are so pretty and your boys and Ben are very,very cute or handsome, whichever they prefer! Can't wait to see them!

What you didn't know (maybe you did) is that Barb (also known as "Super Sis") slowed down her time to enable her friend to keep up with her. Sue is more of a plodder, not a runner, and Barb could have run that thing in about 1/3 of the time, but for her kindness to her friend. Love you Sis (and nieces, and everyone else in the fam!!)

YOU ARE ALL INSPIRATIONS, BUT I HATE THAT YOU'RE ALL MY SIZE NOW!!! I kind of liked being the lanky one for a little while (but remember my post hyserectomy days???...I paid my dues).

I've always adored the teeny bit I got to enjoy of your momma. She's looking awesome!
