When your in Dog house

"It is Better to Ask Forgiveness than Permission."

This is my HUBBIES favorite quote......Now it might be mine..

 

"Anita, you are never going to change." I knew I was in trouble.
I KNEW a FEW things.

 

Tuesday, at work, Andy called me.

"Hey, I am running to the bank...." He continued to share his plans of the day with me.

I got a bright idea. "Hey, since you are going to the bank, will you stop by my work and get my deposit too?" I knew I may have opened a can of worms, I don't make deposits usually.

Andy confused replied, "What do you have to deposit?"  

CRAP, CRAP, Double CRAP, I knew he didn't remember. Of course, we had only talked about it once and it didn't go over well. This was a lot more then hiding a new pair of running shorts in the back of the closet and getting busted.

With my heart pulsing, I tried to flirt my way through my explanation. "You remember, I am registering for the Goofy Challenge.." I had my cutest voice I could come up with. I think I was even battering my eyes, not like he could see me of course. My hands were sweating...

SILENCE.

I threw up in my mouth. I could tell I was in BIG trouble. I ran to the backroom to try all my verbal moves to get away with new running adventure.

 

Andy came to the salon (still angry) to pick up the 375$ I had saved for this race in Disney.

 

"It is Better to Ask Forgiveness than Permission."

We didn't talk to much about it. I am no dummy. The fire needed to fizzle out. Later that night he said "Nita, we need to talk, You are so stubborn, you are never going to change, You know, maybe I will just right you a letter."

 

My thinking: I am actually running this with my sister in law, Leeanne. Leeanne and my brother live in Florida. I am going down by myself for the weekend to run and visit them.

I am so excited. This is something that was on my bucket list. I honestly wanted to do the Dopey Challenge but it was almost two hundred dollars more. That would have been the straw that broke the camels back! I would be sleeping in the barn.

FLASHBACK: Andy and I ran the Disney Half Marathon in 2010. That was the year my LOVE for running was starting to take off.

Half Marathon time: 1:57:49

This is NOT a race RACE. It is a RACE to Have FUN. And I am SO EXCITED.

 

 

BTW, Dopey challenge is already CLOSED along with Half Marathon, 5k and 10K. BUT the FULL is still open if anyone wants to run it with ME!!!
