So.
School had a 5k marathon today to raise money, which was a requirement for the curriculum. My friend group thought it would be cute to wear tutus while doing it, because why not? Oh, and I also hardly trained.
Here's how it went down.
Lap 1:
"Are we done yet?"
"... We've been running for 2 minutes."
*wounded animal noises*
Lap 2:
"This. THIS is suffering."
"This is too much work for a free banana."
At some point, my mom and my sister came with David to cheer me on. David held a sign that said, "You run better then our government, Beth!"
Gotta love David.
Lap 3:
Was pure torture, everything burned, but when we passed the finish line it was great.
10/10 would do it again.
Not.

My elementary school would do something similar(minus the long-distance and tutus). :) Question: did the tutus enhance your running performance or make it worse?

Yessss be a comedian! You’d be amazing at it! I’d watch all your shows! Please, Beth, the world NEEDS your humor!
Anne Blackwood
Re: Oh lol that's probably more stable, but perhaps it could be a hobby or post-retirement gig.

This is comedy gold. Have you considered being a comedian? Have I said that already? The world may never know.

re: it's basically like pepper spray, but the can is labeled as gel, i carry it if i'm hiking alone, or if i know i'll walk farther than the rest of my group.

Felt that, come hiking with me some time and forget to bring sunscreen, it sucks. Did I forget to mention? We'll be carrying a 10 lb ruck plate in a rucksack along with 64 oz of water, pepper gel, and pb&j's in a scent sealed container.
