My intention for this new blog of mine was to get up early every day and create my blog before I start my day. My intention for this new blog of mine was to tell you all about my intentions for each and every day of my {very} exciting life. Yesterday, I created a list of all my projects that need to be started, finished, or just generally needed some attention. {The list was pretty dang long!} More intentions!!
Today I went to work, then ran some errands for my daughter, which involved a trip to Super WalMart {hate that new store and it's stupid parking lot, just for the record!} then I will take her WalMart purchases to her, eat dinner with her and color her hair. Some where in there I need to fit in THE stupid walk. AH YES, another good intention!! The walking, which is intended to lead to the running, which is intended to lead to the 5k!!
***Let me just make a quick side trip and tell you about the whole 5k business... At the end of a very long, stressful, exhausting, fair week I opened my {big fat}mouth and made a crazy/silly challenge to my daughter. As we were eating breakfast the last morning of fair, the 5k was about to start. I'm not sure if it was the complete exhaustion, coupled with the sugar buzz from the syrup and pancakes that caused my moment of complete delirium, but I said, out loud "Hey, next year if you make High Point at fair, I will run that 5k!!" Yeah, I made the challenge! WHAT WAS I THINKING!! I can't run 5ft. let alone 5k. I don't even know how far a "k" is! I don't even really know what High Point means!! She of course, being her fathers daughter, accepted my challenge, right there on the spot! We have a secondary challenge that states if she doesn't high point, but ribbons top 3 in all her classes, I still walk the 5k. This year she did ribbon in every class{not all top 3}, so there is a good chance that she will at least meet that challenge! UGH! Now, I'm not one to wish for my childs failure, BUUUUUTTTT!!! Now keep in mind that she has some pretty tough competition in her age division at the fair, but she is also pretty driven. SO, I have decided that it is best to be prepared for my defeat!! She is a bit of an exercise freak so when I made the {delirium induced} challenge, I meant it more as a celebration of all her hard work, but now it just seems like my defeat! I have also rallied some other people into this challenge along with me, my son Tallon said he would do it {he already runs several k's a week, so no big deal for him} and {my bff} Shelli's husband, John said he was in, and Shelli did too {but I think she was lying just to make me feel better} SO there you go ~that is the story behind the stupid walk!!! Now my training begins, my intention, is to be able to run the stupid 5k{without dying}and in under 3hrs.
Now this crazy quote keeps jumping into my head about the word intentions... something about The road to Hell is paved with good intentions. Yikes!! Well, since I have already cut a pretty nice path for the road crew to start work, I feel I should do what ever is necessary to not start paving it just yet. In other words, I'm still on the 2-tracker. What does that mean for me??? I guess,I will go for that THE stupid ass walk again tonight, and try my very best to be ready for a 5k. I will get some focus and tackle that stupid project list. Maybe putting it in writing will help me be more accountable. BUT, I have decided that I don't have to type this in the morning, it's my blog, I make the rules, and I doubt that is considered an intention that could cause too much grief for anyone else, since no one is reading it anyway!!! And the really good news, I'm not sure I believe in Hell anyway!!!{and that's a topic for a whole different blog!!} So what the Hell!!
