WOW...

Okay, I could get on here and apologize for not being around and I guess I really should because there are some of you that I have really missed! I really have no excuse - I have been having some of my own personal struggles and I think I just decided to "turtle" as I like to call it. I have missed reading many of your blogs - I think I have figured out what I do. I want to do everything and I want to do it all PERFECT. What ends up happening is that I end up not doing anything because I can't do it perfectly and I just throw in the towel. I will possibly touch back on that subject but for now I have a promise to fulfill - a bet if you will.



Dear Mo, bet against my beloved WVU Mountaineers. I love me some WVU and love WVU Men's basketball even more! If you don't follow college ball - they had a great season. They became Big East Champs and made it to the Final Four for the first time since 1959. I feel connected to them, I screamed when they missed a shot. Cried when they lost a game and celebrated my fool head off when they won. One of my dearest friends and loves of my lives (we won't go there right now) played ball when I went to school there back in the 1990's and that is where my true obsession started. It has been all down hill from there. ***okay, okay - back to the bet*** Dr. Mo, bet me that Duke would beat them. I knew it would be a tough game but I had faith in my boys. They lost. I bet $20 and a blog post everyday for a week. I honestly thought she forgot about the full bet, until she said to me today "Kimmie, you owe me some posts..." DOH!!!!



First in honor of my boys!



I'm still proud, even if you lost and I can't wait until next year!

Okay - so in addition to having to write a post everyday, she is giving me the topics. I have a horrible memory but it was something about my C25k program and how I felt while I was running.


Mo: You owe me some posts...

Me: OH, I thought you forgot those...

Mo: Nope, please share your feelings when running (remember this is not a quote because I can't remember EXACTLY what was said)

Me: I'm not really sure I have any deep thoughts while running besides - PLEASE DON'T DIE NOW.

Mo: I have the same thoughts and feelings.

Me: What I really wanted to say that goes through my mind is "RUN FAT BITCH RUN..."

Seriously, I don't think alot when running. I think that one day I will get to the point where I do, but right now I focus on the time. I hate that I focus on the time but I feel like I am going to fall out most times. I have self doubt and then I have to talk to myself and say "YOU CAN DO THIS - YOU GOT THIS."


Beautiful soul - Lori by name (bah ha - that was for you Kel) has been a huge inspiration and her post today made me cry. Even when I don't believe in myself, I know that she does. I know that I am not alone and that if I have to repeat a week or 2 of the program, it is okay because this is my journey and I am not in competition with anybody but myself.


Kat is the one that started this with me and it just grew from there. There are several folks on twitter that are doing the program now and we are all doing it together (reminder, that I haven't checked in with you all and I am going to do that!) Kat, is the most non assuming, kind soul I have met and I am so glad she has chosen me to travel this journey with her!

Stay tuned for tomorrow's post (remember I have 7 of these)! Mo, is picking the topic so we will both be surprised.


And just for fun, I am always playing music in the background and this is the song playing right now as I finish up this post.
