The great thing about races, is the addiction. Not to the actual race, but crossing the finish line. I love it, not only when I do it, but other people as well. So, now that Tri season is over (as if I partake of the “season”) I am thinking of something else to motivate me.
I HATE running. I think more than most things. On a whole, in the grand scheme of things. It is worse than say…childbirth, teeth drilling, slime eating..you name it. At least to me it is.
Trying to learn discipline and compassion in my life, I am trying to do things that I don’t like to do and change my perspective on them. Running is one of the main things. David kindly agreed to help me, on my terms of course! And I think I have the perfect race picked out.
The Disney Princess Half Marathon. It is expensive, but I think it will be my one and only and is worth it. With David’s family down there, we can shack up there and hopefully drop the kids off too. I am trying to get Gina to run it with me. Any other takers out there? Sorry guys, princess or not, ladies only.
Peace be with you.
Disney Princess? Can Emma run?
When is it?
After seeing your hubby train and finish his Marathon, Dave and I talked about one day doing one ourselves. I”ve even thought about doing one in the next 2 years as a fundraiser for Frankie. Personally don’t think I can train and do it but hey you never know. I could always start with a half? Fill me in… we could be running buddies. But seriously… I (instert blah, vomit, detest) don’t know if I could do it???
i just tried leaving a comment and it did not go through?! ugh!@% …..anyway, this whole thing is cracking me up! i love to run, but short distances…i never thought of running so many miles and miles! youre so enthusiastic im starting to think i might be able to????!? haha.. anyway, if we go through w it..my butt and intertube will really thank you! haha…love you!
Courtney,
Ya’ll should make a trip down to Birmingham and run the Mercedes Half Marathon in February with us! You would have a place to stay and it is a fun race!
