What are the odds…what are they???

read the tragic original
So, a rather attractive older woman (mid-late sixties) with a nice figure and young looking skin came up to my bank window yesterday to cash a check. She has an account with bank of america, and for some reason she was looking very familliar to me. But no big deal, right? I recognize plenty of regulars, good and plenty. So I go about my business cashing her check, as she is being rather friendly telling me of her walks that she takes around the area. All of the sudden I look down and it hits me: red umbrella, prim and proper old lady with quite the coif. “That’s it!” I exclaimed in my head, “That’s the woman I ran into with my bike a week or two ago!….Uh oh, I hope she doesn’t recognize me! Yipes!” So then I go into my stock teller mode, SUPER friendly, and overly smiley. The transaction is finished, and she is on her way, to get pummelled by yet another gear-happy cyclist. The only two things that would have made this story better is A: had she faintly recognized me and said “Hey, you look familliar, haven’t we run into eachother before?” and I would nervously stutter “HUh?What?Me? Aww, no, I don’t think I’ve ever seen you before in my life” [quick exit to the back room] and #2. Had she started ranting and raving about how some neglegent bicyclist ran her over just over a week ago and how inconsiderate people are [me, nodding my head out-of-control in agreement, as not to be found out]

but probably in the reverse order.

So I know that it’s kinda hard to see, but the point is that I met my goal. Now, in retrospect, I realize that this is a pretty easy goal to achieve…basically run 4 times a week…a piece of pie. However, now that I know what I’m capable of, my new goal is to run 80 miles in 4 weeks, that’s a consistant 20 miles a week…maybe I should bump it up to 90…idk…but I’m gonna start it off right today with a 7 mile…maybe I’ll hear from lance….I need some groceries, anyone who’s up lemme know: 360-450-8590

So, one of the guys at the marines recruiting office competes in body building competitions, and when I was in the other day I was asking him about it and mentioned that I was interested in competing in a year or so, but that I wanted to go to one before I actually competed. So he told me that in two weeks there is one close by that he is going to and he asked me if I wanted to go, and I was like “yeah! that’d be great” of course forgetting that a month or so ago, emile who introduced me to these guys to do seamstress work had told me that this guy (his name is sgt. bugner) thought I was cute and was wondering if I was interested. Ahh crap. I just want to go to the show. Well, I will just have to put on my game face and the famous “F- You” sign (as courtney puts it) on my forehead. Just kidding. I just have to make it OBVIOUS that I’m not interested.

But, anythewhoo, on the subject of competing, I’ve gotten some negative feed back (mostly from my boys) who don’t want me to go all muscular etc, well boys, I love you and appreciate your imput, but I’m doing it. I am going to take the next 8 or 9 months to get in really good shape, and slim down while I’m training for my races, then after that I’m gonna start building. This will give you an idea of what I’m going for (and NOT going for):

I’m gonna have a body like a battle ax.

Mallory just coined a new phrase: Butt-naked serious.

My Ideal Man: Loves Jesus more than he loves me, competitive, smarter than me, better than me at lots of things, but lets me beat him sometimes, a challenge, confident, loves being physically active, dreamer, deep, resourceful, human, a warrior, provider, set in what he believes, honest, loves/respects his country, big thinker, healthy, thoughtful, hard worker, higher level sense of humor, manly, musical, integral, leader, likes to travel, family man, problem solver, level headed, someone who will grab me by the shoulders and say “Sarah, get a grip” and I will say “ok” Looks don’t matter.

They come and go. People get old, things droop, hair falls out/grays, butts get lumpy, and skin shrivels, what lasts is character, plus, I am sure God will bring me a handsome man.
