This past week we had our team pictures taken. This is the first bit of evidence that I'm actually on the SCC Track Team, not just bringing cookies by and fetching water bottles. I asked the photographer if he'd mind emailing me a copy of our team picture so I could put it on my blog. He was very accommodating and also included my "solo" picture in the email. LOL. I'm sorry, I can't even post it, it's so bad. And it will be there, for all to see on the school website.....along with my lack of stellar results. But I'm working on that. After dropping a lung on the track last week during our "introduction" to speedwork, it's apparent this old lady has a long way to go. Coach says this coming Tuesday is going to be a tough day....he actually used that word "tough". Considering his description of the workout which almost killed me, I'm a pinch anxious with a heap of giddy. Bring it on. To really spice it up, Tuesday is my first Biology test.
So here are the girls. Pictured is the entire track team. I mostly train with the distance runners. That little girl to my left is Katie and to her left is Melissa. These two handed me my ass last week and they weren't the only ones. Over the course of the season, I'm sure I'll have more photos of them. I'm front and center with the spider hands, the hair (?) and the orange shoe laces. I'm so glad I reap so much joy from laughing at myself or this whole experience would be painful.

I am grateful for laughter. Eye watering, gut wrenching, pee your pants, laughter.

There is so much that I love about this photo but it may just come to a phone call. First and foremost, I love that you're suited up for gym class. No demerits for you!
Can't wait to hear about Tuesday...you'll do great. No matter what happens just walk off the track a minute before everyone else, throw your hands in the air and yell, "Ladies and Gentlemen...Phaedra Cote!" Whatever you do, don't look back.

Love the pic. I'm sure the solo is better than all that you think.. Keep it up Keebler.

If you love pee-inducing laughter, you should have watched the sledding little kid in Tahoe crash into a fence (he was fine). I think Aaron might have committed the above sin. Here's to good times and speedwork!
Seriously? You know you can't talk about the solo pic and then not share it for all of us to make fun of, right? I'll be watching for it...
I am loving the shoe laces :-)
Ok I will be honest I may have just gone to the SCC website and looked at the Solo picture. and the link for others to see might be right here (http://athletics.spokane.edu/getdoc/10746041-c6ac-4a1c-92e3-d4b5507afb0b/Phaedra-Cote.aspx)
1:36 marathon? Pretty swift. I wonder what the other schools must think. Half Iron Man...is that guys that iron shirts a lot? Hmmm... By the way, the pic is here, all one link:

HA! I read your blog! That's not a HA of laughter, but a HA of triumph for making up for 2 months of blog slack. And I read ALL of the posts, back to November or something. Your friend that you went to Vegas with is HOT.
Wish I was coming to Moscow this weekend....I can't wait to come to a meet and stand on the side of the track and scream at you!
I'm thinking about you and your team today. I don't even know what else to say. If you need a diversion, we could practice the ballet move from new year's again. Hugs.
