In which I whine a little.
This post is for those of you who have been bearing with me as I go on and on about some “marathon” I have been training for… for the past 18 weeks. Only 18 weeks.
WAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Goshgollydoggoneitalltoheckalmightyofthewholeworld.
Did you see that? I totally just made spell check wig-out. Kinda like I made my Achilles tendon wig-out on my 20 mile run a few weeks ago. Yeah. Like that. Garrrr.
I went on a run today – my last before “the event”. It did not go very well, and for this I am highly discouraged and want to bake a cake so I can sit on mah butt whilst I ice mah lame leg and eat the entire cake while I pout and whine and feel all kinds of sorry for my mostly-trained-for-but-am-now-injured-but-not-gonna-give-up-on-that-marathon-dream-self.
You see, I am broken and the best part of the training plan was the last 3 weeks. I survived the most hideous part to be rewarded with suckness. Yes, “suckness” is a word.
Because I said it’s a word.
There are other words too, but… *physically holding tongue*
I’m sorry. I know My Public depends on me for humor. OK. I hear you callin’ me out…*puts her big girl pants on*
Here is a short video my friend Jill posted on her Facebook. I “met” Jill via Lisa. BTW, Lisa, it’s time for a new post! I “met” Lisa some years ago via our blogness because we were both training for half-marathons and… Lisa and I then connected on Facebook, and then Jill and I caught one another’s “eye” as we loved all over Lisa over on her Wall… and… a friendship was born. You’re tearing up, aren’t you? OK, so I have “met” neither Lisa nor Jill in the technical sense of “meeting”… but I adore both girls like I adore all shiny things. And when I say, “I have been chatting online with hot chicks…” I am probably talking about Jill and Lisa.
Where was I? Ah yes… the video from Jill. Made me giggle. It’s really clean, really! And that’s why it’s so stinkin’ hilarious…
Now off with yo bad selves. Have a great day and don’t forget to feel sorry for me. Maybe even spritz some glitterspray on your wrists in an act of solidarity. Have I told you how much I love you lately..? *wipes tear*

Keep up on the ridiculous, the insightful, the always digressive…

Jen. Pout away, it’s tough thing you’re going thru.
My bike partner Wendi and I had been training for weeks for the STP ride and 1 month prior to ride she inflamed her ITBand (runs from hip to below knee, outside of leg) and went in for PT work. They told her she could ride, but if it hurt to STOP or she may never walk again. I had to talk her thru the last 20 miles. “TALK TO ME” about what? “ANYTHING..JUST TALK” So I did..and sung and talked. We did 1/2 the ride. 104 miles and stopped. We did more than we’d ever done. She saved her knee, we made a ‘forever memory’.
Tackle what you can, at the place you’re at. Marathons come and go, your leg is important, listen to eat. Eat a little cake, not the whole cake.
I’m there for ya!
Yes, the suckage is sucky. I’m bummed for you. And if I were closer, I’d bring you a row of cake. But the Scooby video was %^$#ing funny.
Who knew Shaggy and Scooby had such filthy mouths? I knew they were pot-heads but the swearing…a little off-putting.
I DO in fact feel sorry for you, in fact I will now devote an entire minute to nothing else but feeling sorry for you………………………………………………………
And now-having done that I still think you are certifiable for wanting to run a marathon. I mean who does that to themselves on purpose? Who, I ask you?
Truly sucky. I am so sorry.
I’m not surprised about Shaggy & Scooby. I always suspected they used bad words.
awww, i’m headin to the glitter store right now for the super duper big spray bottle! you’ll see me shinin all the way over here *waves*!!!
Jenny. I hear you girlfriend. That just so totally sucks. Sending you giant bear hug over the blogosphere.
I don’t even know what advice to share. You are so hard core that I know you CAN push through the pain. The question, of course, is *should* you?
So many more races ahead of you. Lots of time to recover from this and then train again. I follow many folks who train and run in multiple marathons and managing injuries is a real challenge.
Check out http://themarathonmama.blogspot.com/ – she’s has had some highs and lows.
Whatever you decide to do I wish you well. Listen to your body and be patient with yourself. Just training for the darn thing is amazing. Look how far you’ve run already!!
you know you hang around a pothead like Shaggy and you’re gonna have some of that bad element rub off after a while
I feel so sorry for you! I’m sitting here eating some late night pancakes and the thought of you running your heart out just makes me even hungrier.
Vent any time. You’re entitled to pout a little. Hopefully the suckage will ebb away soon.
OH MY GOSH, I can’t beleive I didn’t see all of that glittery love you sent my way. I finally came back to my blogging roots to pick it up a little and there were the linky’s back to your page. Your the best Friend a girl could ever not have met in real person but love with all her heart!!!
