Well being the thinker that I am, I started thinking what 4 shows would get me....yeah I'm such a supportive wife!! A little while later I GOT it!!! Honey....you can do the 4 shows if....I can run a marathon! Yes most wives would barter for a day at the spa...a vacation...maybe even a new pair of shoes but this running momma uses a marathon! Well I think he took the deal!!! Now I'm left with a HUGE question....
What marathon should I do????
I couldn't think of anyone better to ask than all of you! I wanted something a little flatter and probably within driving distance...unless you know someone who wants to sponsor my comeback by paying for me to fly or for a place to stay!! There is a pit in my stomach as I think about this...I can't tell if it's nerves or excitement....I going for excitement!!!Thankfulness....I'm so thankful for my friend Cindy who came to visit!!! We have been friends since 3rd grade...she knows everything about me and still loves me! It was so great to see her and see her cuddle Aubrey! Best, old friends are truly a gift!!
I would def barter for a race :) I highly recommend the Runner's World event! It's a tough choice that I'm in the process of making too. What marathon in 2013 should I run?
ReplyDeleteI barter too, my husband likes to help other people work cows all the time. I am starting to get 2013 figured out, not sure if it iwll include a marathon yet, but I have three halfs down so far :)
ReplyDeleteBest old friends are the best xxx
ReplyDeleteSo glad you had a fabulous weekend with your friend!
ReplyDeleteI just did my 3rd fitness competition this season (in a row)!
Looking forward to hearing which marathon you plan on doing!
I've always dreamed about doing Boston, that will be my first when I get there, but without a BQ is the added stress of fundraising. If not Boston, I would say a destination race of a place you love or have always wanted to vist? The Disney ones sound fun too and you could bring the kiddos too!
ReplyDeleteI went the fundraising route for Boston too! It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. Who are you running for?
DeleteAww it sounds like you and Cindy had a great time catching up and enjoying each other's company.
ReplyDeleteHILARIOUS!! This is so how runners think... hmm well I really loved Philly but that's in just a few weeks. ING Miami is a lot of fun for a vacation and heck yes RW was an amazing weekend
ReplyDeleteSo fun to have your friend visit:) Unfortunately, I'm no help on the race front near you. West coast gal here:) So excited for you:)
ReplyDeleteId say anything near my new-soon home. NORTHERN CA, Baby!
ReplyDeletesome of our oldest friends are our dearest :)
ReplyDeleteI'd barter away!! GO FOR IT!
I barter for my races all the time. Here it's, "You can buy that chip / suspension kit / sway bar for your car if I can go run the _____ race" :-D
