Fine I'll Jump On Board

Since I know all of you who read my blog also read Tru Stories and OCH, you know that a bunch of us are running this stupid race on Sunday. Not only is it five miles and taking place on a holiday, it's a 0730. This is probably the dumbest idea anyone has ever had. It's not even for charity. I found out on Wednesday that it's to raise money for some running club. So more people can run more stupid races or something like that.

Number of days I've spent training: 1

When that training took place: 2 months ago

Mileage covered on day of training: to the end of the lane to get the mail

Other preparation: Stupid race yoga

Minutes of stupid race yoga that felt like deep tissue massage: zero

What's worse than my complete lack of dedication to stupid race? Being promised a walking partner and then finding out two days ago that said "walking" partner has a goal of doing twelve minute miles.

Odds I'm screwed: 100%

Factor by which you have to multiply length of my legs to get length of lying stupid "walking" partner's legs: 4

Maybe if I take my bike and ride along I won't get last, or be able to finish for that matter.

Run little Munchkin. Run like the wind. Note to self, sometimes Tru Stories has big ideas. Like big 80's dances, or hey let's walk to the next town over when it is 100 degrees or why don't we join the rest of the family for a "walk." She makes it sound fun. I joined her stupid walk. It was very lonely in the middle of nowhere. Me and my friend, no Tru Stories in sight. She was already in the bar drinking. I said, I hate you Tru Stories, it was kind of a chant in my head. But when it is over, you will feel good about yourself. You will be proud. You will eventually forget how mad you are at Tru Stories. Have a great time! Check it off the bucket list!

Get it...
'Leg up'...

I agree with Tru Stories. You may not win the race, but you definitely win for best Pre-Race blog post. And really isn't that most important?
