GOTR...This Saturday I am going to be running in the Girls on the Run 10k in Providence.
Bumps...It is always interesting to me to look back on some of my posts and laugh at the irony! A few weeks back I posted about bumps in the road and not letting them stop you from reaching your goals. Well almost a day after that post, my hubby tore his knee. We are still waiting to hear what the doctors are going to do with it but for me this all but took away my ability to go to the gym or run in the morning unless I wake up at 3:30ish. I need to get up and work out and shower all before Aub wakes up since it is very hard for hubs to walk and hold her at the same time. My inlaws have been super helpful coming over each morning so that I can go to work. This is a bump but I am not letting it stop me! I have been missing runs this week and it is DRIVING ME BONKERS (no fault to anyone except myself)!! Today I am going to fit in a run when I pick up the girls...our babysitter is just a 1/2 mile away so I am going to run to her house and then around the neighborhood before Em's swimming. Tomorrow it's an early wake up to get me starting off the day right! I know June is knocking on the door and so is the bathing suit I need to get so this chickie needs to get serious and jump over these bumps!!
Jokesters...I'm pretty serious about running...ok I'm wicked serious about it but that doesn't mean that I can't have a sense of humor about running either....I enjoy a good tutu or costume run from time to time and I have been known to run with friends and try to get them to laugh to pass the time. This past weekend, as Jill and I took a foot tour of Boston, there were times when we joked. We cheered as the T lumbered by...whooped it up in the tunnel...laughed at funny signs...and sang songs where I changed the lyrics and danced. There were times where I think our humor or good time was not appreciated! Yes running is serious stuff but we are out doing what we love to do...what could be better than that?! When I ran Boston in 07 the two girls I ran with and I had shirts made that said "Serious runners with a sense of humor"...perfect! Do you have a sense of humor with your sport? Tutu or no tutu?
Don't miss out tomorrow on an AWESOME giveaway.....I'm not saying what but let me just say it is very badass!!!
ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS TUTU.
ReplyDeleteNever done a tutu tutu, I imagine it would be itchy. I've always wanted to buy a sparkle skirt though. So sorry to hear about the bad knee and hopefully he will recover quickly and you can fit in your runs. Stay cool in this heatwave we are expecting.
ReplyDeleteSorry about your husband--not only for his pain, but for all that puts on your shoulders, as well. That's definitely tough!
ReplyDeleteI just did a GOTR as a buddy runner a couple of weeks ago. I've done it 3-4 times now and it's always a blast!
Love it! Yes...we ARE serious with a little bit of wickedness. Can't wait to see the giveaway! Still waiting for my Jelly bean prize. Have a great time in RI!!!
ReplyDeleteOh bummer about your hubby's knee. Not good! I've never raced with a tutu before. Like Jill above said - all I think is itchy! ;)
ReplyDeleteI ran the Girls on the Go 10K last year. I had a lot of fun and almost all of the runners wear pink. It was pretty fun. I have also worn a tutu when I ran a fun race. Sorry to hear about your hubby. I hope he gets better soon. Enjoy your 10K!
ReplyDeleteAlways heard great things about GOTR - haven't had a chance to run one yet but I want to. Really sorry about your hubs' knee :(
ReplyDeleteI have a sense of humor about everything it seems ;) Hope hubby is better - mine is injured right now too!
ReplyDeleteBummer about Hub's knee! Hopefully it is just a sprain and it goes away fast! Can you take Aub in the Bob in the mornings or is that just too much extra work?
