Good thing I did not run as little as I though I was, since we had our annual chocolate fondue party at our good friends Charlie and Sonia's house. All kinds of chocolate for dinner, yes, yes, yeeeeees!!! I secretly look forward to this gathering the entire year. I think it is amazing that C & S allow us all to come over with our kiddies (2-8 y olds) even though they don't have any, feed us french chocolates and champagne, and clean up the mess made by the kids. This was the first year the kiddies "got along" - my rule is always noone is crying, lets not interfere - and had a blast. There may have been some cat terrorizing going on, but maybe the noise was coming from one of the kids...who cares, us adults were all high on chocolate and champagne.
I dressed up for the occasion. These pictures were taken before we left, and are very bad, bc someone (ahem, Chris) can't keep the i-phone strait when taking pictures. Anyhow, since I NEVER wear a dress, I figure I might as well document the occasion.
Love this picture - not sure if you can see that as I "pose", Petru sticks his tongue out! And in the other picture, he is trying to "escape".
And how do you like the "signs" on the wall? I managed to remove about 50% of them, but there are still some that Petru refuses to give up...and I learnt to pick my battles.
Hope you all had a great weekend! And tomorrow, eat all the chocolate you can! I started on Saturday so you'll never catch up to me:)

57miles for a taper week, not bad:)
I like your dress very much! I love red/ black and short dress & boots combination. I like dresses, but never wear them because I can't wear sneakers with a dress, therefore I only wear clothes that go with sneakers.
I'm quite curious to see how you do going from 57 miles to 20 in a week. Hopefully your body doesn't rebel like mine would doing something like that. ;)
Nice dress and WOW mama on the boots! :)
You're smokin!! :) Hot mama!
Michelle, it is actually going to be more like 40 including the half and warm up, but yes, there will be major mood issues!~
You look amazing, girl! Love the dress and the boots - you're stylish beyond anything I could ever dream up for myself!!
Good luck with taper...but I know you'll nail it cuz that race means a lot to you, which I understand :).
CUTE, red dress, you look awesome and I'm still loving those signs.
Thanks for you comments tonight, it was good to get another perspective. I appreciate you!
Good luck with the "tapering!"
Tapering-57 miles. Ummm yeah. Perhaps I should be tapering and then I would run more miles:)
I love the no one is crying, let's not interfere plan! I take it a step farther, EVEN if someone is crying but there is NO blood, let's not interfere.
OK-not only do I want to head to Boston so you can whip me into shape in a parking lot, I also want to live down the road from you so I can raid your closet:) You look FANTASTIC even blurry!!! LOVE the dress and the boots!
You are in great shape, you're consistently pulling off GREAT paces and holding them. Your legs will get a rare break this week and you will probably feel like you have motors on the back of your shoes by Sunday! I'm really not fond of the week before a race. Seems that I remember the negative parts of training and forget the positives until the gun goes off sometimes. I'm hoping you can focus on all those great runs!!! Confidence... You definitely have that PR in you, without a doubt and I'm anxious for you to go grab it!! Good luck:)
What on earth are you going to do with all those hours your not biking or swimming or running this week......maybe you can make some more signs to hang up around your house:)
Yum! Fondue is awesome. Those friends need to have that party more often :) The signs - he'll grow out of that phase... Eventually!
You look amazing!! Yay for fondue!! And no there was no way I could eat another bite I kid you not I thought my tummy would explode!
Hmmm, 57 mile week taper...very nice! I'm sure you'll do well this weekend. Your runs over at Fresh Pond have been great! Hopefully we can find each other at the start line. Just to say hello and wish you luck, I don't plan on going out at 6:45 pace. ;)
Love the dress with boots! The iPhone camera can be great if you have good lighting and not so great with bad lighting. If you have Chris stand in front of the window (or other light source), the picture will come out better. So it would be window, Chris with iPhone, then you.
See you Sunday!
Katie, I am NOT planning on going out at 6:45! I will do that eventually, but my current HR for that pace tells me I am not there yet!
I can't wait to see how you do on Sunday :)
Love the dress!! I love dresses because they are sooo comfy and you don't have to put two pieces of clothing together, just throw one on and you are done!
love the outfit! and i want to go to a fondue party!!!!!!!
No pictures of fondue party. I love fondue parties. Well, really the chocolate fondue is where I spend all of my time.
