Go Team Couch Potatoes! – UPDATED
Couch Potato
Believe it or not, it’s not always about me. Don’t get me wrong – it usually is ALL ABOUT ME but, again believe it or not, I actually do charitable work on a frequent basis.
Who knew?
For the first time ever, I organized one of those teams for a major walk/run event! I’m so excited. I even designed t-shirts! I do this stuff because it makes me #FURIOUSLYHAPPY .
So maybe then it is all about me after all.
Fine. I can live with that. No one else can, but I’m good with it and the cat doesn’t care.
As team captain I get to organize people (kind of like herding cats), and pick a team name. I still can’t believe they gave me that kind of authority. In all fairness, they don’t really know me.
Guess what I named the team? The Couch Potatoes. How awesome is that?! I chuckle every time I think of it.
Team Couch Potatoes will be doing the American Diabetes Association walk/run this Sunday. I’m going for the full five miles. I know! I hope I make it. If you don’t see any more blogging from me after this, you’ll know I didn’t.
Want your own Couch Potato shirt with this awesome original art? Sure you do! Go here: http://www.zazzle.com/kernut* and look for the Couch Potato link on the left, or the Couch Potato folder and click. All items are customizable – add any text you want, or change the t-shirt style! If you want that design on something else, just let me know and I’ll make it for you!
Be forewarned – I may make another futile attempt at live blogging during the event, complete with cheezy photos of me in my new couch potato t-shirt, probably sweating like a pig. Just you wait – it will be awesome. Maybe.
UPDATED 10/11/10: We made it the whole five miles. I survived. The End.
Team Couch Potatoes at the ADA walk/run. I'm the one who looks pregnant in this picture. I'm not. Pregnant. It's just a really bad camera angle and I'm not photogenic. At all.
Ok, some of you may care for more details… I did not attempt another live blogging fail because Twitter hates me and is eating my @replies and #hashtags. I did sweat like a pig. (pics coming as soon as I get them. I can tell you’re excited.) I have about 5 blisters on my feet – two of which are on the balls of my feet. It was totally fun, everyone had a great time, and I’d do it again in a heartbeat. But with thicker socks.
So what you’re saying is that my cat herding skills mean that I can also run 5 miles?
I’m going to test that out tomorrow.
If you never hear from me again, it’s because I passed out around the third mile. Or because I’m lazy. One of those. (Probably both.)
No, no, no! Don’t do it! OMG – I hope it’s not too late to stop you! The cat-herding skills were only used to get a group together (All 10 showed up!). But most importantly – there was no running. We walked, rather slowly at times. And therefore the name.
Couch potatoes make me furiously happy.
Which makes the Couch potatoes *heart* Jenny.
go couch potatoes!! i hope it goes great! also, good luck with the live blogging. i hope it works this time 🙂
Thanks Cali! No luck with the live blogging fail (I didn’t even try it… do two fails make a success?). Had a great time, and survived to tell about it. 🙂
You had a blister for every mile. You go girl! Love the name of your team. I commend you for your gallant and yet crippling exploits! Well done you!
LOL I didn’t realize I had a blister for every mile, but you’re right. Thank you, it was great fun. And thanks for stopping by my humble blog!
I don’t even know what live blogging is, but it sounds hard.
Walking five miles is hard enough. Good for you!
Sorry for mentioning the word hard-now three times.
Live Blogging is supposed to be easy, apparently it’s just hard for me. Yes, the walk was hard – especially on my feet!
Hmmm, seems I have an effect on you. 😉
