1/4/2024 0 Comments Loopster small bear![]() N2RunningBad (Dean) made a surprise appearance which was a fun way to end the night.īack at the hotel, I laid out my flat girl and actually got a little bit of sleep. Bangle hooked up an amazing spread of pizza, pasta, and salad to feed the masses on a low-key evening. If you didn't go, you missed out.Īnyway, I digress. I would go back to Kentucky for Party Town. #TeamEZ aka JJ, RP, and RunninBrotha met up to ride to Bangle's brother-in-law's house, but we had to take a stop at Party Town first. We ended up back at Rock Bottom Brewery again before naps/showers at the hotel. I met Ron Swanson's Stache (Rob) and AlliKate and her DBF (yay Loopsters!). The group hung out in the park afterwards waiting to decide on lunch plans. At mile 5, we caught back up to Dave and while I made idle threats of tickling him or goosing him, we just smiled as we pulled up next to him. Then it was just RP and I running around Cincy like we weren't running a marathon tomorrow. SomeKraigGuy stayed with us for about the same time Dave did-Kraig dropped back and Dave surged forward. I kept thinking, um, I think we are in the wrong spot.īut then it was go time. Dave's son Connor, RunninBrotha, and SomeKraigGuy were up there with us, but it was pretty quiet. We found ourselves in the A corral.and very, very alone. But Dave somehow still agreed to run with us. RP and I do not claim to be great pacers after the epic fail in Shamrock. Whatever you think about the guy, it still was cool that he was going to be running the same "little" race as I was.Įxcept we weren't racing. He was just jogging down the street (albeit probably at 6 minute miles) getting ready to race. The only cool part about getting down there that early was that we literally walked right into Ryan Hall's warm up. Ironically, we stood around for the next hour and 15 minutes waiting for the 10K to start. Adam was awoken by my screeches of OH MY GAWD!!! After the quickest get-dressed-to-race ever, we were flying out the door with a bag of bagels, and apologizing profusely to our companions-RP, JJ, and RunninBrotha. Mmmm, Peg's whoopie pies are TO DIE FOR!!Īlarm clock soooooooo did not go off. When we got back to the hotel, a small crowd of Loopsters were hanging out in the lobby and we joined them for beer and baked goods. We hiked back to the car after some shenanigans outside the ballpark and watched the fireworks from the parking lot. The idea is to just keep dreaming and experiencing what I can. I have no idea the number of things I will cross off on the list, but I will keep adding to it as ideas pop into my mind. You get the idea, right? I'm a lucky broad.īut I'll never stop wanting to enjoy all the pleasures of life. Scuba-diving the second largest barrier reef in the world in Honduras Eating an apple from a tree I planted in my own backyard Hiking down the Rock of Gibraltar (my FB cover photo) with Adam on our honeymoon Her "wheee" is now the ultimate measure of happiness. ![]() Riding the tilt-a-whirl with my grandma at the county fair. ![]() Camping with my mom and sister in the Grand Canyon Fishing for piranhas in the Amazon river Kissing atop the Eiffel Tower with my future husband Graduating with an associate's degree before I graduated high school Biking down Mount Haleakala volcano at sunrise in Maui with my father and sister Not only have I never worried about my basic needs (food, water, shelter), but I've been extraordinarily lucky to experience a lot of fantastic things.Īt the risk of sounding braggart. Mainly to remember that when I've had a tough day at work or the dog threw up all the bed for the second time in the night, that I have so, so, so much to be thankful for. I've been rich with so many experiences already in my life and have noted many in my book ( The dream list is different than the experience list). Now I just have to find those people who are ready to change their lives!Īnd drink a beer at sunset. I already have ideas for incentives for people reaching different milestones or personal goals. I realize not all people have the same wack-a-doo drive that I do about running.īut I would love to help "coach" them to reach their goals if they would let me. I am not sure if any of them would be willing to put in the time and effort to train so I cannot get too excited about it yet. Most of them would be able to comfortably walk a 5K at this point, but a half-marathon would definitely be a huge accomplishment.Ī few of them have mentioned Disney (maybe because it's walker-friendly? maybe because it's close-ish?) and I thought how cool would it be if I helped get them to reach their goal. ![]() Their blah, blah, blahs are all a little different, but nothing that makes it impossible for any of them. I have had a few close friends/family members casually mention (!!!) that they would be interested in doing a half-marathon if blah, blah, blah. Lastly, I want to share the idea I have bouncing around in my head.
