Welp, Malibu Marathon pretty much owned me this weekend…in a tutu. But what is done is done, I completed another marathon, had a great time with friends (whom I already miss), and I have a sweet new medal! I’m sore mostly in my toes and my hip flexors and butt area, and I have a little chafe on my chest and under my arms? Weird. So onto the pictures…


and in all my pain and boredom while running I made quite a few videos for my lucky readers as well…. seriously. WOW. Anyways…
So this race report is huge and will be coming up sometime later this week, including weird awkward videos and tons of pictures of tutus running… so prepare yourself!
xoxo

BEST video EVER!
I am always so interested in hearing people’s speaking voice!
I thought you’d have a high squeaky voice, but you don’t… haha. I’m random, I know, but adorable video! congrats on your finish!

YAY – You look ADORABLE!
By kate on 11.16.09 8:41 am
I was thinking about you all day yesterday and hoping that you were having a good day… I knew there would be some pain but I figured the tu-tu’s would make it all better! LOL! Can’t wait for the whole report. Rest up girly!!!
By Morgan on 11.16.09 8:41 am
Yay for another finish! Looking forward to the race report . . . I’m sure it all hurt but you guys LOOK fantastic, and isn’t that more important?
By Bootchez on 11.16.09 8:51 am
I love the tutu! And the video made my sore, it hurts to move/sit/stand/walk day that much better.
By Kelly on 11.16.09 8:51 am
“This tutu was fun until mile three” is really a quote you should move forward with. It’s a riot. :)
By Marcus on 11.16.09 8:57 am
LOL you guys looked so cute! And kudos to you for still looking hot after running 26.2! How does that happen?
By Jamie on 11.16.09 9:13 am

By Marlene on 11.16.09 10:10 am
I don’t think I can be adequately prepared…haha!
Congrats on another one done…What is this? #3? Wow, we should now be calling you a marathon veteran…
Happy recovery and looking forward to your wacky and wild tutu report!
By The Laminator on 11.16.09 10:20 am
I am so impressed that not only did you run ANOTHER marathon but in a pink tutu. You go girl!
By Julie @ Wearing Mascara on 11.16.09 10:21 am
you are UNreal
By alex @happygolucky on 11.16.09 10:34 am
I don’t know how you did it. Those tutus were catching that horrible wind like crazy, but you finished WITH tutu! Congratulations! And it was so nice to meet you in real life, (and to be honest I was glad to beat the Malibu barbie girls with those huge tutus, in the pics they look much smaller then they really are!).
By Ann on 11.16.09 10:35 am
I can’t wait to hear about the race!
By Shannon on 11.16.09 10:41 am

Congrats! I have to say that I’m more than impressed — you had a lot of challenges right before your race, and you still finished!
I am definitely inspired. You gutted out 26.2 yesterday, while I struggled through a very painful 22-mile training run! Tell me it gets easier!
See you at CIM!!
By Michaela on 11.16.09 10:53 am
You rock!
By Christina on 11.16.09 10:54 am
“The atmosphere at road races is relatively relaxed; it’s hard to take yourself too seriously when three rows behind you on the starting line is someone dressed up like a hot dog.”
- Molly Huddle
I think the same can be said when you’re wearing pink tutus! Congrats on making it through another 26.2 miles!
By Librarian on the Run on 11.16.09 11:25 am
Congrats on another marathon, and a tutu to boot!! Hope I get to meet you at CIM!
By Marci on 11.16.09 11:26 am
Holy Blair Witch video! :o)
Congrats on another marathon finish. Can’t wait to read the report.
By x-country2 on 11.16.09 11:32 am
Oh boy…those hills look MASSIVE!!! Way to power through in a tutu no less.
The course did look pretty!
Love the video and how at mile 20 it was just two 5k’s to go =).
By Alisa on 11.16.09 12:15 pm
LOL. That tutu is AWESOME. :)
That video is almost blair witch-esq. I had to stop watching it because it was making me sick!!
By Adam on 11.16.09 12:18 pm
Thanks for the tweets and pics…just awesome!
Congrats on crossing the finish line on #3! Can’t wait for the report!! ;)
By KatieA. on 11.16.09 2:15 pm
I agree with Ann, that pic somehow doesn’t capture the sheer poof that were those tutus. I enjoyed it until about mile 10 and then was like WTF.
LOVE YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
By Marathon Maritza on 11.16.09 2:32 pm
You looked good at Mile 20! It looked like you were the only one out there, though – yikes! Congrats on another marathon!
By Monica C. on 11.16.09 3:03 pm
you looked amazing, and all your tweets sounded like you kept a very positive attitude through it all. i’m proud of you and i am super impressed that you rocked your THIRD marathon. i was thinking about you yesterday when i went on my measley little 6 mile run (which for me was my first “long” run on the training sched.)
By Milltini on 11.16.09 3:14 pm
First off, the tutu is fabulous. It really makes me want to be decked out in hot pink for the philly marathon this weekend!
And second, you looked AWESOME at mile 20. The fact that you could talk, film and run still at mile twenty? Ah.may.zing.
By pen on 11.16.09 3:27 pm
That is insane! You taking a video montage at mile 20 speaks volume about how much you rock! But seriously, were you running this by yourself? You must have rocked this too hard for anyone to follow!
By The Laminator on 11.16.09 3:30 pm
That tutu is awesome. And considering you were so sick before you finished and that is great!
That video seriously though makes me a little sick to watch ;) YOU ROCK!
By Katie on 11.16.09 3:38 pm
Holy crap.
Pics, videos, tweets…all while running a marathon in a tutu. You should mention this somewhere on your resume.
Now let’s see the rest of the hilarity!
By Billy Burger on 11.16.09 3:55 pm
I love your outfit!! You all look super cute!
By betty on 11.16.09 4:19 pm
Two more 5Ks to go. I loved the pained attempt at a smile when you said that! Love it!
Congratulations on marathon 3. Are you a maniac yet?
By Kristen on 11.16.09 5:44 pm
WEll glad to see you still had your sense of humor at mile 20. Great job on another marathon girl!
By J on 11.16.09 5:50 pm

Love the pink y’all look precious!
By That Pink Girl on 11.16.09 9:05 pm
Cute outfits! The chafing, though. OW! Glad you had fun. Looking forward to the report!
By rioruns on 11.16.09 9:26 pm
Effing hysterical. You are such an inspiration, because you always are having so much fun when you’re running insane amount of marathons.
By Madeline on 11.16.09 9:58 pm
Just how cute are you in your pink tutu??? You girls rocked the pink barbie look! Sorry Malibu was mean, but that’s another marathon in your books. Woohoo! :)
By Zoe on 11.17.09 12:15 am
mile 20 and you’re still able to talk coherently and look that good? craziness!
nice work on marathon #3. are you one of those people that thinks marathons are no big deal? i’ve done three (including the silliness in chicagon in 2007) and it’s still a BIG deal for me to physically and mentally prepare. and i’ve never run one in a tutu.
By john on 11.17.09 8:22 am
I am soooo glad I had second thoughts about this marathon! WTG on the strong effort and strong finish. I saw some of the elevation profiles after the race and that was a beast of a race.
By Glenn Jones on 11.17.09 9:57 am
“if its going to hurt, at least wear a pink tutu,” that is what my dad always says. I never understood it, until now.
congrats on running 26.2, you rock.
By Spike on 11.17.09 12:04 pm
The pictures are awesome, it is great to see people out there really enjoying themselves.
By Thomas on 11.20.09 8:33 am
Congrats, Danica-tutu girl! Very impressive: to run a marathon, finish it in a decent amount of time and record it along the way! You looked great in your tutu! Way to run in style!
I hope to see you on many more marathon courses in the future! Good luck! Are you running the Santa Barbara
Marathon on December 6?
