This is how I felt after my 20 miler with Katie!
When I jumped for the camera, which was the day after, well, I felt like my body was going to break into smithereens!
I guess running 20 miles @ 7:45 with last mile @ 7:22 would do that to you, particularly when you are in the middle of several 70+ miles!
Feeling much better right now after 8 miles of 9+min/miles on trails.
My reward for the 20 miler? Baking and decorating this cake for Petru's party! He drew a picture and I had to copy it! There is a road, going over a bridge, and a railroad crossing and a train, and the gates are down so the train can go safely! It was a hit with the kids:)
And since I had my "Betty" on, I made this cupcakes for Petru's class. He is obsessed with clocks these days! And that's my baking for the year! Nothing else until next year on the baking front from me! There will be lots of running, though, including, hopefully more fast long runs with Katie!

Wow speedy...nice job on your 20 miler!!
And, the cake and cupcakes are too cute! :)
That is just a FANTASTIC 20 miler. I would just fall apart....haha!
You are the "betty" aren't you! Those cakes are so cute! Nice work! I hope Petru had a super birthday and that you got a nice BIG slice after all those miles :)
WOW killer 20 miler!!
Love all the baking, just wish I lived next store to eat some ;)
Nice job on the 20 miler and the yummy looking cakes and cupcakes.
That cake looks awesome! I hope you got a nice big piece as part of your reward for that killer 20 miler!
YOU are a running rockstar:)
You are an amazing runner!
I loved it when my kids decided they wanted to take ice cream sandwiches to school!
Nice work on the long run. I wouldn't mind eating one of those cupcakes.
Incredible!!! Absolutely ROCKED IT!!!!!!!
AM! Love this...you don't always include the stuff from your non running life and I loved seeing this cake and the cupcakes. So fun. And I love that picture of you guys at the top...I'm assuming that is you. :) NICE legs...nice body!
GREAT RUN!!
I'm like you with baking....maybe once a year...well, unless I'm making Hungry Runner Girl cookies.
I like the idea of decorating a cake based on his drawing--good thing he didn't make it more intricate! How did you get the bridge to be elevated? Or is there just that much icing underneath?
Great runnings! And jumping :)
Wow, speedy amazing 20 miler. I can barely do a few miles at that pace let alone 20. Cake looks incredible too.
LIndsay - twizzlers with toothpicks on one side, arched over the water, with frosting over.
Run Betty Run!!! I knew this was going to be a kick @ss long run for you but 7:45 is WILDLY impressive for the first 20 of this cycle and with all those miles!!! Super super finish.
Love the pic:) Nice air on the jump there-ha!
Part of your bridge would have been missing had I been around that cake....such a fun mom you are:)
Jenn, I need to mail you some licorice after the marathon!
woohooo for your 20 miler!!!
i love that picture. too cute.
Sorry for the Mamarunsbarefoot mix up! I deleted myself a while back and couldn't even use my old address! I'll have to purchase the domain. I am considering this because no one knows who I am anymore! HAHA!! I agree.. my sleep needs work(I want to email you but can't find your email?)

I had a great time! It was the best long run I've had in years, and not just b/c it was a good pace. It was fun too!
I can't believe you had to bake afterwards! I thought you said you were going to a party for one of Petru's friends! I didn't realize you had to go home and throw a party!
Nice job on the 20!
And super nice job on that cake! Impressive. And I love the cupcake clock. How clever!
