Sunday, June 3, 2007A 40-something mother of two from upstate New York* chased the leaders for a brief interval during the middle of the Freihofer's Run for Women yesterday.
The novice runner was as surprised as the media pool when she came around a turn and saw the elite field a few yards in front of her.
When asked for a comment, the Mom replied "Whaa? You woke me up... I was taking a nap... I was having the BEST dream, why did you wake me up? No, you can't have a snack. Turn the tv off and go outside."
Some of you didn't get to see all of my Chico photos - they were part of a long elaborate practical joke on a coworker. So since I now have photo editing skills I entertained myself this morning by creating the above picture. I'm sure y'all can pick me out! I did race with them, but I never got quite (ok, anywhere NEAR) this close.
If you would like to see actual, untampered photos of the race, in which I do not appear... click here: http://timesunion.com/ - there are several stories about the Freihofer's Run for Women, and a photo gallery.
*(whose son actually commented to her, "Mom, you were, uh... bigger... before you started running"...)

ROFL.. and some of us would love to know how that Chico story ended..
OMG! It's Chico week - just yesterday TSS was like, you know I hate you for sending me to the donkey site - I check it obsessively, but it never ended the story.
So I told her.
I love an elaborate joke...as long as I'm not the butt of it! ;o)
