A story of renewed hope & the power of Dis

Feb 23 2014 Run Disney Princess 1/2 marathon
As of today I DO not have a running partner so there goes Team Pluto out the window I keep going between "Oh Well" to getting really upset this is NOT something I would have signed up for on my own had I known this person would "change his mind" Would it have killed this person to say that BEFORE I said I was registering that day ????

After $160. entry fee non-refundable AND about $100 for running shoes, the resort reservation, and other incidentals I guess I can turn the feelings into motivation to train but right now I am disgusted OR maybe I will just cut my losess financially and not get in any deeper

This is twice now this year that I have been hurt by someone BIG time ok vent over don't need a pity party don't even really want to talk about it just needed to let it out and update

Dang!

Are you going to be able to find a different running mate?

 

[DMGeurts]

Grrr... YOu sure did have a rough day yesterday! I hope you are able to find a new running mate - how disappointing that this person backed out on you. (((Hugs))) As much as I would like to say more about it - I won't, because you said you didn't want to talk about it any more - which is fine. Don't feel like you need to reply to me if you don't want to - just know we are all here for you.

Okay, I'm going to say some things about the run, so hope you don't mind. First, are there any running clubs around your area? That's what my DDIL joined so she could have people to help motivate her. I get that you appreciate cyber friends, but NEED personal motivation while running. Now, about your pt guy. HE should not be your focus. Your focus should be on yourself, your amazing progress and the goal of running your 1/2 marathon. A goal you never would have imagined for yourself if it wasn't for him. Who knows what is up with him and why he didn't sign up. Don't waste your time thinking about him. And don't condemn him either. We never know what others are going through. That's energy you could be putting to better use, right? You are the mighty snake slayer/remover!!! YOU CAN DO ANYTHING THROUGH CHRIST WHO STENGTHENS YOU!! Got it? Okay! Love you!

ETA: I also get the anger and frustration and disappointment. Didn't mean to minimize your feelings in any way. Just hoping to boost you up, my sister!

Here's a big hug for you. I'm still in my walking phase, haven't gotten up to running yet, though it is on my horizon. Being 50 lbs overweight has slowed me down considerably. I have a lot of respect for you for even considering doing the 1/2. I wish I could be your running partner.

[Luvchefmic]

First thank you all for your support and putting up me, I try to count my blessings every day, many times a day, and you know that about me

Sometimes you just need to look around and really see someone elses life story for you to say Ok stop complaining and use that person as an example I also try hard to get to know a little more about the people I "meet" here on the Dis over the years I'm not going to say who the person is, but I started reading HER story and all her family has gone through much more horrific than anything I have experienced I am ashamed it took this long So I'll just say again thank you hold your family close and prayers sent for all that need them

(and thats all we're gonna say about this Forrest Gump)

Ed, I have vertigo, more than once I have wished I had that toilet harness.
I think you need to give photography lessons. Santa brought me a Canon DSLR a few years ago, and I can not figure it out. Memory retention isn't what it used to be. I am point and shoot. Although, I keep pulling out the manual, googling and playing with it. But, pretty unsuccessful all in all.

Your pictures...wow... what can I say...

 

[Luvchefmic]

Gorgeous photography as usual ! I love pictures with no one in them so you can see the details and beauty of it all
