Day 4, Week 6: 4 AM treadmill runs and guess who got her marathon photos today

I got up at 3:30 AM and was on the treadmill by 4:12 AM.  Why?  Because work and a one-hour commute.

Buh.

The workout was supposed to be a 12 x 400m repeat workout, but I was on my 10th repeat when I looked at the clock on the TV above the 'mill and it finally hit me that if I finished the workout as written I was only going to have half an hour to get ready.  Now, for dudes, that's  usually not an issue.  But when you gotta constantly be all dolled up for your job like myself, you're gonna need more than half an hour.

My answer to the "Can't you ever take a serious pic?" question.

So I got off the treadmill and quickly got ready, and then I realized I never took a post-workout pic.  You'll have to settle for a selfie with the cat.

Human..stop ruining pics by being in them.  

You'll also have to settle for the fact that I downloaded my Chicago Marathon race photos, and I'm going to share what I consider the best (some would use the word "worst") ones from the day below.

Terie-hulk smash Chinatown arrrrrgh

No finish line photo is complete without DEVIL HANDS

Put your hands in the air like you just don't care there are only 3 miles left.

Who's an awesome marathon spectator? YOU ARE

Is that a Sears Tower growing out of your head
or are you just happy to see me?

Gotta keep running up Mt. Roosevelt because
I MIGHT LOSE THE RACE

I love how I'm all YAY MARATHON and everyone
behind me is in complete suffer mode.

WHOA didn't expect a PHOTOGRAPHER at
a marathon NOPE

Those medals come out of nowhere, man.  They'll surprise
you every time.

Photo learnings:

• Serious pics?  Pfffffft.
• I will do anything for a goofy race photo.  But you've learned that already.
• Had that crazy "I didn't complete the workout this morning I AM A FAILURE" feeling until I remembered I did a marathon on Sunday.  Then I was all badass for about 2 minutes.
• Only running skirts make my thighs look somewhat normal size.  
• The cat went upstairs to hit the litter box right after that selfie was taken with him.  I can take a hint.

Tomorrow's workout: REALLY early morning weights because work again!
