Janine, meet Jerry.

This morning Stacey and I ran in the FunFitness 5K in Paducah, KY. I was really excited about this race b/c Jerry and Estella Hayes from the Biggest Loser were going to be there. If you will remember from the finale, Jerry was the "At-Home" biggest loser! This is pretty much my favorite show in the world, so I was absolutely beside myself to be meeting one of the WINNERS!!! Josh was excited, too, so he drove us girls up to Paducah. Unfortunately, the weather was miserable, raining cats and dogs along with crazy lightening and thunder. I was thinking they would call the race for safety, but they ended up just postponing it till the lightening let up. We started the race in the pouring rain...and at about the half-way point the lightening started back up. And bad. Stacey is scared to death of storms so I figured she'd be finito at this point! BUT she is a trooper and finished the race!! And in great time: 32 min something seconds. I was so proud! She said she ran a full 16 min before stopping to walk--WAY TO GO STACEY!! To top it off, she won a 1-hour Swedish massage door prize- uh yeaaahh! I was pretty excited too b/c I won 1st place in my age division (for women) with 25:29ish. And my highlight was getting multiple pics with Jerry and Estella (who are so so so nice) and talking with them for, like, 30+ minutes!! I learned the ins-and-outs of BL Ranch and who hooked up with who, who was nuts, and who's coming back to the Ranch for the 8th season! All the BL gossip. It was sooo fun and I was star-struck to say the least. Such a wonderful and friendly couple, and so incredibly deserving of the new lifestyle with which they have attained. Here are the pics from the morning--prepare yourself for the wet-dog look! Janine, Meet Jerry:
