You have successfully registered for...


You have successfully registered for The Big Canada Run. 

Seriously! You've got to be kidding me! We are not long finished virtually running/walking across Newfoundland (thank you Paradise Running Club), now Katrina (yes that is her real name) thinks it will be fun to virtually run across the freakin' country! I thought my friends didn't want to exercise and we would just hang out at the dance studio waiting for our kids to finish dance and eat Stuff it for lunch. Man, I miss Stuff it. Wally if you end up reading this, I will be back I promise! This Pandemic has certainly changed my friends because we keep registering for virtual races. Don't they know I am still broken!? 

As you may notice, my last blog was written in January 2019? Not much exercise has taken place since then. January was cold. February was cold. March was cold. April was still cold. In May, I got rear ended by a truck and ended up off work for a few months. To this day, I am still suffering from Post Concussion symptoms. They suck! They really do! Each time I try and exercise, I get a huge set back because of symptoms and pain from my 2017 car accident. Yes. let's not forget that I got rear ended in 2017 as well. I am not gonna lie, this pandemic has been a secret blessing for me because I don't have to go outside much. Anxiety to the max. But that will be another blog post. Disclaimer: I have clearance to exercise from allllll the people I am seeing about my pain/symptoms.

But anyway, back to my friends that I hate now. So today I was working from home and my phone was beeping like crazy (not that unusual). I would randomly read a few texts on my breaks and lunch, agree to something, ended up buying a desk from staples, not knowing much about what I was agreeing with and then BAM! I am now registered for a 8000KM virtual race. Fun hey!? Not so much. Sure I am still not ready for the flippin' 5 KM (running) race that I signed up for in August! I got the medal already so technically I don't have to run it. That's the rule right?

During my conversation with Jane (yes her real name) as I was registering for this race, I repeatedly stated how much I hate her. To her response, don't hate me, hate Katrina. To which I agreed.

So far Cheryl (yes her real name) has yet to respond. Seems suspicious to me or maybe she responded and I didn't see them yet.

Well that's all for now folks, I am hoping this blog will keep me motivated. However, clearly it didn't in 2019. Weird things are happening in 2020 so who knows.

Wish me luck. I now don't have to try and sell my Garmin watch and I will head out for a walk now.
(most of these KM's will be walking)
