Up there... those pigs?
Those pigs are flying because I, the original “Sloth Woman”, will be participating in a 5K race today.
Mind you, I’ll be walking it…
Many years ago, my pre-med roommate read an article about the deleterious effects of pounding pavement upon the body’s more delicate connective tissues - and right there and then, she and I swore a solemn pact to NEVER risk incurring the dreaded “Jogger’s Face”.
Nosirreee, no premature sagging for us!
However, Tiny Woman needed a buddy for today's event and was willing to walk it with me rather than zip through it at her usual tissue-punishing pace. And friends make sacrifices for friends, right? (Except that of our delicate facial fascia.)
So today, Sloth Woman Dons Sneakers.
(And then closely scrutinizes her face in the mirror!)

I better be racking up some serious friend points for this, I tell ya…
(Follow up: 5K completed at the *blistering* pace of 3.45 mph [5.55 kph] -- face appears unscathed... ;-p)

Have fun Jz doing your run/walk.

Hi JZ - my gosh ... have fun - but I sure hope your nose doesn't end up like these 'ere flying piglies! Let alone cross-eyed afterwards ... just enjoy .. cheers Hilary
Congratulations on finishing. Walking is as good exercise as jogging/running any day, and less damaging.
"Face appears unscathed"--falling over and laughing at my age is a dangerous thing Jz. Stop making me do it ! Oh hell! Here i go again!
Bahahaha!!! Dang but you're funny! Congrats on finishing! And kudos for your use of deleterious!

Thank you! It was chilly and raw but very pretty.
And I got a "Participant" ribbon to flaunt. ;-p

Goodness! I was so worried about my skin, I hadn't given a thought to what it might do to my nose! I seem to have made it safely through, however... ;-p
mm-
True dat - and my knees have been dictating low-impact for years anyhow. :-)

OK, we'll pretend you only fall down because you're laughing...
(You and I know the truth, however!) ;-p

I thank you - my face thanks you.
