Dare I?

I just recently posted about this dilemma I have with cash flow and this whole obsession I have with events.

Well, guess who is courting me included me in their mass email in their search to sponsor 100 triathletes, bicyclists and runners. Active.com - for Team Polar. I’m gonna apply.

Do you think they’ll go for this angle:

  • Mother of 3… ages 2, 5 and 8.
  • I have a Polar Heart Rate Monitor, and I so do not look like any of those women pictured on their home page. See below…
  • I have stretch marks, so my apparel will need to cover said stretch marks. I’m modest that way.
  • If I can carry a 55 pound kid on one hip, a 30 pound kid on the other AND negotiate a full shopping cart in the grocery store… I could be the gal for you. Talk about endurance.
  • I never finish first, but I’ve finished every time. And… so far, I’ve gotten faster each time.
  • Hey Polar - let’s do this together - call out the Mutha’s… The Tired, The Weary, but The Capable. Let’s dream togetha’. If this stretch-marked woman can do it, so can other Stretch-Markians. Ummm… I could probably fine-tune this last one a little.

If nothing else, someone will get a good laugh at the application from the crazy lady with 3 little kids and stretch-marks.

My Running Buddy

My Running Buddy

This is my running buddy, Katie. Of course, she’s more than just a running buddy, but… I’m just not gonna get all mushy. This is my Rudolph Running Buddy, Katie. She lights our way on foggy mornings.  She eats her jelly donuts before our races events.

Everyone needs a Rudolph Katie.
