Sara here! Alright folks- sorry about the long delay in posts. We HAVE been running diligently of course- keeping mostly on schedule :) but just haven't had too many exciting events to share really. On Tuesday we had to run separately, which is always sad- even SADDER when you get to the gym and realize that you are about to have to run five miles, by yourself, and your ipod is broken... which as I'm sure you've gathered, is what happened to me. But I was determined! I had five miles to run and I was NOT going to stop. So I watched Deal or No Deal while running which is a show I usually hate, but was surprisingly nice because you don't really need to hear the words for that show, so that took up 30 minutes of the hour it took me to run. For the rest of the hour I pretty much stared out the window at the Subway and Sonic across the street- what's wrong with these gym people? WHY would they allow there to be a window facing that way? I mean to be honest, I spent probably 3 of the 5 miles trying to figure out how I could justify stopping by Sonic on the way home for some tots and a cream slush. But I guess the food fantasies did help the time go by faster, so I can't really complain. In the end, I DID run the five miles without stopping which is a feat I had not yet mastered! So I was pretty pumped!
Yesterday... Janell and I both had pretty rough days so we debriefed at Starbucks instead of running... but we're making it up tonight. Tis but 3 miles... no problem! (NEVER thought I'd be saying that!) We are just over five weeks away from the race. It's becoming real. Not gonna lie- pretty nervous about it. But instead of focusing on how long 13 miles really is, we've begun to occupy ourselves with what new fit activity we're going to do after the Bearathon is over. (Thank you Baylor for your incessant use of "bear" and "paw" in all your events). We are thinking about going the triathlon route. NOT like the crazy ones where you do like 40 miles of biking and all that, but a shorter one. You know- just spice it up a bit! I mean we've obviously mastered running (HA) so what's swimming and biking? We'll see... I'm pretty sure we aren't going to MOVE much less swim or bike for at least two weeks after our race at the end of March. Perhaps we'll take up knitting instead. No way to know.
So that's the update for now... we'll let you know of any more injuries, star sightings, or additions to our ipods as they arise :) Happy Thursday!
Sara! I love it when you write. I feel like you are right here talking to me and know EXACTLY when you would put inflections in you voice like here "WHY would they allow there to be a window facing that way?". Even thought the all caps "WHY" gives it away, I can still WHY would they allow there to be a window facing that way?hear you speaking these words. One of the many reasons I love you: you tell it like it is. :)
