3 Things Thursday

  1. The calm before the storm... This weekend is our last weekend of which we have no real plans until after the wedding and there is only thing on our agenda (besides our respective long runs of course), a Buffett concert!!! Parrotheads unite! I can't wait!
  2. Buffett 2010 - Look at that short hair!
  3. SYTYCD... Sun Runner and I have been thoroughly enjoying our little weekly viewing tradition (and ranting about each episode on Twitter); so far I've correctly guessed who would get voted off each week, but I've yet to decide on a favorite. Who's your favorite dancer and why? 


  4. Pulling the trigger... I have a confession to make: I have not yet signed up for the CCRR Half. Granted I've only just started training for it this week, but I've known I was going to race this pretty much all year. As I mentioned earlier this week, I have signed up for and not been able to run it the last two years in a row and I know this is going to sound ridiculous, but I'm scared doing so will mean I will get injured again. I keep telling myself "third times a charm" but I still can't seem to pull the trigger. I'm giving myself until the day before the next price increase to do so. Has anyone else felt this way about signing up for a race because of injury, even after months of no issues?

I love Jimmy Buffett! Have fun!

Jon said...

Gimme your credit card. I am signing you up for you!!!

Nelly said...

I'm with you about being gun-shy about registering for races! I guess after going 1/6 on races last year due to injury it's for good reason! Now my new policy is basically to not register for any races until at most a month before. If that means I miss out on a bunch of races, so be it.

I think you'll be fine this time around though!

Why do I feel so lost on your love of buffet? Do I even know you at all? Lol

I have friends who are big Buffet fans. His concerts look like a ton of fun - go enjoy and have a great time. The next couple months are going to fly by!

I do this all the time with longer races and I have never missed a race or really injured myself running. It's the walking that usually sidelines me. I'm a clutz. I just hate to spend the money and then something happen. I always wait till the last minute.
Except for Ironman, it sells out in 10min a year on advance. Imagine how freaked out I am about that?

Jessie said...

Have a fun weekend at the concert. and WOW I forgot how short your hair was!!! You look so different, but just as adorable both ways!

I haven't been to a Buffet show in years, but SO MUCH FUN!

I'm so with you - I can't pick a favorite dancer yet. Just favorite choreographers :)

Third time IS the charm...just sayin'...

Rain said...

I totally hear you about signing up for the race, it's like you don't want to jinx yourself!

Sun Runner said...

Honestly, I haven't yet figured out who my favorites are. I do like Cyrus in spite of his wonky eyes, though. :)

Sue's Ramblings said...

Sign up now!!!! You think too much!

Greg said...

I feel you. I bet Paula Radcliffe feels the same way before each olympics!

Denise said...

nothing beats a summer day tail gating at a buffett concert! we used to go every single year when he came to philly/NJ but i didn't make it the past 2 years because of training. sigh. i need to get my priorities in order.

John Bartkowicz said...

I'll be there today too! Made sure to get my long run in this morning because I wont be moving tomorrow.

Anna said...

I totally understand about being afraid to sign up. I just started running again this week after more than 6 months off, and I am crazy paranoid about every little twinge that I feel. When I'm ready to race again, I'm sure I'll wait till the last minute to sign up.

Wait, 3TT? It's Tuesday? I need to open my blog reader more often.

Pull the trigger!
