The Fargo Marathon is now in two more sleeps! Best of luck to Stephanie and all the other runners who will participate in all the races in Fargo this weekend. The weather has been pretty warm the past few days, but it looks like Saturday will be a little more mild and hopefully not rainy until later in the day. If it does rain, the racers will be glad for that indoor finish! When I thought of the question, Are You Ready?, it made me think of one of Blake's favorite shows as a toddler. The show was called the Big Comfy Couch and the theme song asks, "Are you ready?, Get ready to clown around." The star of the show was Loonette the clown and her doll, Molly, who hang out on a big, comfy couch. It was a great show. Loonette and Molly had all sorts of friends like the Dust Bunnies who lived under the couch and Major Bedhead the unicycle courier. They always had a fabulous time on the couch until Loonette realized that there was a big mess. She'd ask, "Who made this big mess?!?" Then she'd admit it was her and that if she made the mess it was only fair for her to pick it up during her "10 Second Tidy." I wish I could clean like that! She'd also perform the "Clock Stretch" to limber up each episode. Just as good as yoga...LOL. Hopefully, my little trip down memory lane makes you remember something from your own or your child's early years that makes you smile. If you need a pick-me-up, look up some old clips from The Big Comfy Couch on the internet. The Belly Button song was always one of our favorites.
I'll be anxiously waiting for results from Fargo on Saturday. In the meantime, I'll be doing a long run as the marathon starts and then I'll be watching Stephanie's progress on the race's app. If you are also following her progress, don't worry when it looks like she's out a little slower than her expected overall pace...remember, she is planning to run slower at the beginning with the hopes of having plenty of energy to power in the last 5K. Best of luck and happy running! Missee
