Throwback Thursday - Hill Training in the 1980's

From Left to Right: Mr Half TRIing my wimpy sister, my godmother
Throwback Thursday - Hill Training in the 80's

Okay, after 53 followers and several thousand hits my mother finally found my blog.  Wow, I didn't think the blog was that bad!!  It's bad when your own mother does not follow your blog.  She loved the old photos so much that she dug this old gem up to embarrass me.  She loves to do that.  :-)  She also said and I quote "That Quinton guy is really cute."  I almost ran off the road because I was laughing so hard!  Where the heck did that come from?!?  It was the most random and unexpected comment from my mother.

So back to the really bad early 80's photo.  This was taken in the Rocky Mountains in Colorado.  My godmother is on the right looking like she can not believe she knows these people.  My sister is sporting the 80's LA, Motley Crue, groupie girl look. (If only I had invested in Aquanet in the 80's.  I would have been a billionaire).  And I am on the left.  I am sporing the the most atypical 80's running look.  I got the blue and red striped socks, the way to short running shorts (with side white strip), a shirt two sizes to large and the Bruce Springsteen red bandanna.  I was looking TOTALLY RAD after my 26.2 hill training.

  3. @Silly Girl Running: In 20 years you will do a Throwback on your NYC Marathon outfit and then I will have my revenge. :-)

    @Alanna - I miss your blogs. You need to post more often. I also want that "family folklore" recipe if you get time.

  4. A shirt that's too big and shorts that are too short....*and* tube socks!?! This may be every 80s stereotype (minus the big hair).

    Way to strike a pose!

  14. You look so proud to be posing for this picture. What a ham! What a headband! I cringe when I remember what I wore in the 1980s, and I was an adult and didn't have anyone picking out my wardrobe!
