20 Very Random Thoughts

  1. I hate it that I just burned my 100 calorie pack of popcorn and having to sort through the burned pieces is slowing the rate at which I can consume my lunch.
  2. I'm grateful for the opportunity to train and complete my first IM. Despite all the whining I feel like I've been doing lately, I really am excited.
  3. I'm looking forward to this weekend, not because of the training, but because I'll be able to support Adrian in a race. I love running around tracking where he is and cheering for him, I'm extremely proud to be his girlfriend.
  4. My cats give me geniune happiness during the week. I woke up this morning to a big black furry face staring at me wondering when it was time to wake up.
  5. Putting the cat box outside on my back patio was the best idea ever!! Now I just need to figure out what to do when it rains this weekend.
  6. Helen from the Biggest Loser only weighing 117 has prompted me to take my nutrition seriously.. yes yet again. If she can do it, I can do it. Can you imagine how fast I could run if I weighed 117 pounds.
  7. Friends change, but friends will always be friends :)
  8. I miss my BFDee. I miss running with that fart fool that can't ever do a run without getting US lost. I miss the giggles about random things we see. I drove down to Manchaca on Mother's day and thought about the one run we did, where I knew we were going the wrong way, but was too afraid to tell her, so we ran to Manchaca :)
  9. I catch myself calling random people FOOL, that don't understand and I have to apologize.
  10. I enjoy swimming more than I ever thought I would.
  11. I wish I were rich enough and had enough time to train with both Rogue and T3 simultaneously.
  12. I'm glad I went to the doctor about my knee, looks like I'm weak on my right side.
  13. I'm looking forward to Grey's Anatomy and The Office tonight, and my day OFF to try and regroup my sanity.
  14. I'm oddly scared of crossing the finish line in CdA. I'm afraid I'll love the moment too much to want to do this again.
  15. I can't wait to make the bike cutoff and run a marathon on June 21st.
  16. I can't wait to call Adrian after the race and let him know I'm an Ironman.
  17. I wish I could buy the house next door to Adrian. That would be the bestest thing ever. I could have my own place, my own space, and we could still be together without the inconvenience of having two places 10 miles away from each other, and I wouldnt' have to stress about my kitties.
  18. I genuinely respect the people on my team that have done more than 1 Ironman. It seems unreal to have to do this again knowing how difficult it is.
  19. I wish I had bigger boobs.
  20. I wish I had more of a butt.

"I drove down to Manchaca on Mother's day and thought about the one run we did, where I knew we were going the wrong way, but was too afraid to tell her, so we ran to Manchaca :)"
Made me laugh out loud and shot some spit onto my notepad, which made me LOL again! Karma just looked at me like:"FOOL, what's wrong wit you?" HAHAHAH

OK - why on earth would you want bigger boobs?? Imagine toting those on an Iron man.
As far as the finish line issue - I'll bet you are so relieved to be done you won't be planning your next Ironman as you cross the line...but you will 10 minutes later!
Why is Adrian not going???

I LOVE your random 20...great idea!

I like that you call strangers FOOL then have to apologize.

I can't wait to track you then train with you again at Rogue;-)

Loved this post! But FOOL, I think you were the one getting Dee lost. She doesn't seem to be having any trouble with directions these days. :)

And I'm sure when you cross the finish line at CdA you'll think: (1) Fool! I just completed an Ironman - I seriously rock!, and (2) I'm so excited to be able to train with my Rogue peeps again. Keep rocking out the training, you're gonna do great!

Mike - You should have heard Dee that day, she screamed FOOL at me over and over once we realized we were going the wrong way. Manchaca will never be the same. She asked a total stranger after that, cause she didn't believe I knew we were going the wrong way.

Kirsten - Adrian has an Xterra race in Arkansas, and I'd feel bad if he missed it to sit around for 15 hours waiting for me to finish. We're both happier this way and I have more than enough support with the ungodly amount of T3'ers going together. Dee will be there as I do the race with her, I mean, my husband Steve :)

Katie - Are you working today, my blue shoes are in, I can't wait to run in them, I'll be there after work! FOOL!

Keith - Don't let her fool you, FOOL! She still gets lost, just doesn't tell anyone cause I'm not there!!

I can't wait to come back to you fools!!!

Dee said...

FOOL...if you come back to Team Rogue with Boobs AND a Butt...our money making Fool butts will ALWAYS be 'lost'.

Dee said...

Thanks Keith...isn't it amazing how I'm 'seen' on the runs.
