AHEM!

I said, "Who's with me?!" Right? I'm pretty sure that's what I said. Yup, I'm reading it right. "W-h-o-'-s w-i-t-h m-e-?-!"

Okay, so maybe I DID run the Fairview Fun Run 5k without training. Maybe I DID miss the parade...and the food...and the games....and almost all of the Pioneer Day celebration because I was puking (and--insert other sickening bodily function here--) my guts out at my parents house. Maybe I DID spend the rest of the day either in the bathroom or balled up in the fetal position in the guest room. And, yes, maybe this DID happen 2 years in a row!

But really, people! Does this mean I can't make a goal to overcome this and do better?!

I'd like to remind you criticizers that once upon a time, I was IN SHAPE. There was a time in my life that I RAN AND DID NOT GET SICK. In fact, there were several times that I even WON MEDALS in that Fun Run. SEVERAL!

Can't a girl be reminded of those times instead of the puky times? Noooooo. It's puky times ONLY.

Well, I'm not giving up yet. But, to help put your worrying minds a little more at ease, I will now rephrase my goal for you.

IN 2008 I will do this:

WALK
TRAIN
JOG
TRAIN
RUN
BIKE
TRAIN SOME MORE

Then I will probably do this:

FAIRVIEW FUN RUN

Then I will do this:

WALK
TRAIN
JOG
TRAIN
RUN
BIKE
TRAIN SOME MORE

THEN....I WILL DO THIS:

And now I will step off of my soapbox. That is all.
