“She’s a runner, a mom, and a preschool teacher...”

And a 24 karat whack job.

Why is she a 24 karat whack job. She sounds like she has some goals, her family supports her efforts. All sounds good to me!

At 40 Mrs. Slim won the Mount Taylor Quadrathalon. 43 total miles. Bike first, then run, then cross country ski, then snowshoe, and back down in reverse order. A 5000 foot elevation gain to 11,300 feet.

She also ran many marathons.

This was before we married, and she discovered the joys of sloth, wine and bbq.

Sure it sounds good, but look at the picture. She looks like a candidate for a casting call for a movie about Auschwitz.

Don’t worry three trans-— will get to the finish line in front of her.

Good for her. She accomplished her goals.
That’s probably a positive influence for her kids.
Sometimes, you can return to a favorite activity after a long fast.

Does she wear a jockstrap? That’s all I need to know.

Maybe that is why I thought of actress Angelina Jolie when I saw the runner. Both dolled up, but somewhat emaciated.

I don’t know too many long distance runners with lots of fat.
She does look too thin but don’t most marathon runners look thin?

Yeah but this one is WORSE than i’ve even ever saw Angelina look!

She looks near death!!

Ain’t no one gonna look at that picture and say she’s ok.

Maybe at 48 she has to be THAT THIN to keep the dream alive.

NO MATTER what I did exercise-wise or what pills I took (legal or illegal) I could NEVER box like I dig at 51 like when I was 20.

But then at 20 I never could have imagined eating 3 dozen mussels at once so you take the good with the bad :)

Some things ya just gotta accept :)
