Can twins RUN IN Dunkin'?

Written by Leah Connor
Edited by Malinda Ann Hill ;-)

Is you Dunkin' Cup...
Half full?
Half empty?

Don't be 1/2 of anything...
Except 1/2 of TWINS RUN!
TWINS are TWICE the FUN!

Leah is faster twin (that's me!)
(BQ = Boston Qualifier)

Malinda is slower twin.
(Go with the flow slow)

We are Marathon Moms!
(Leah has 2 & Malinda has 1)

We are Masters' Moms!
(We're 41)
Masters' Moms team placed 3rd at Cville's Women's 4 Miler
  
We love to run in costume!
 (Usually princesses, not beverages)

Our cups runneth over in caffeine or decaf!

We're ridiculously photogenic in race photos!

We guarantee to get everyone's attention!

"Woo hoo! I just passed a cup of coffee!"

"Wait, didn't I just see a coffee cup pass me?"

"I thought a cup passed me 1/2 an hour ago!"

"Donut tell me, a donut just passed me"

"WTC*?!?, A cup just passed me!" 
*What the Cup

I could be caffeinated.
My twin could be decaf.

I could be a latte.
My twin could be a Dunkaccino®.

I could be a cup of caffeinated heaven.
My twin could be an irresistable donut.

We're the perfect pair!

OK, to be perfectly honest, I also want to wear a costume & still finish under 4 hours, passing runners (including my Physical Therapist!) whilst tweeting and facebooking along the way!

The Marine Corps Marathon holds a special place in both my heart and my twin's because it was the first marathon for each of us (2007 for me and 1995 for her).

I ran the MCM 3 times, but despite finally qualifying for the Boston Marathon this year (3:38:04), my best MCM time is 4:28:30. Eeek! I know I can improve on that, especially if I'm sporting the DD costume!

See how happy a cup of DD makes me?!

See how scary we look when we run without DD?!

See how Dunkin runs (or doesn't) without us?!
