So BFFH sent me a text last night that said, you want to run a 5k with me in the spring? After my initial moment of panic and nausea I said SURE! I am still kind of asking what I got myself into. Last spring I really wanted to make it a goal to do a 5k at the end of the summer, well you know how things go. You get busy and one day of not working out turns into 2 turns into 16, and so I failed. But this time I know BFFH won't let me cop out. That is the best thing about her. She is so encouraging and supportive, and I know I will have to be that way for her if we are going to make it. Since we live in different cities we will have to work out alone, and just push eachother through the phone. Maybe I can talk BFFE into training with me. Maybe BFFH and BFFN can work out together? Maybe SILD can find somebody up there and we can all do it together? Sound fun? Ok!
I'm hoping BFFN isn't me - just kidding - kinda. Wow, a marathon, you must really hate yourself. Okay those are all jokes, but I'll have to think about it. If I had a treadmill I could train for it, but since I just had the babe I don't know if I can get out enough to work out. I wish I lived closer to you - I would be your personal trainer - not because I know what I'm doing, but because I like to be in charge and yell at people. Oh and because I like to wear spandex - okay that's not true - I think spandex should be illegal. You should do it - you can do it - you will do it!!
ReplyDeletefrom d - so i guess i'm SILD . . . so for about the last year and a half i've thought to myself "i'd really like to do the Mesa Falls 1/2 Marathon - just to say i did it once." i'm that way, find something to do just so i can say i did it once - like shopping early a.m. on Black Friday - anyway, you and BFFH will be a great 5k pair. I think it's great and i'll probly try and work out a bit longer before i attempt a run as i'm not a runner . . . . . at all! and i second Nicole in making spandex illegal!
ReplyDeleteYou are BFFN! I was talking about you! Its just a 5K, I think you could do that SILD!3.1 miles! I am just using those abbreviations If decide to go public, I don't want to share too much info. If you would like different ones just ask. I was thinking you guys could meet and go running with the babies. In my fantasied little mind It works.
ReplyDeleteAlso I just want more people to share the pain. You want to try 13.1 SILD? Yikes! Maybe in a few years!
I forgot to comment on the spandex. Yikes and awesome at the same time. I guess I know what to get you guys for Christmas!
ReplyDeleteBrett says that he is in and that I have to do it too. He said I don't have to train, I can just walk it if I need to. I have decided however that if I do it I will wear all spandex - I might as well make a spectacle out of myself since there is nothing else humorous about a marathon.
ReplyDeleteWoohoo! I am getting super excited! Maybe we should think of a team name!
