Hours of training, eating different foods to create a healthy body, wearing new clothes to impress partners, finding shoes that don't cause blisters, and opening yourself up to the world to bring transparency to the effort. And today it comes to a screeching halt. There is no tomorrow.
My season of carefully analyzing the nuances of the sport needs to end as of tonight. I have seen great legs, a slimmer physique, and how to play to the crowd. Lets award a winner now.
No, I am not ending my running journey today. Why would you have that impression?
Rather, season 5 of Dancing With The Stars will crown a new winner this evening and award the glitzy ball trophy! Are you as sad as I am? Our options are the Spice Girl from England (Scary), the Indy driver from Brazil (Slick), or one of the Osmonds (Stiff). Let's get real for just a minute is this phoniness of reality TV. Marie should have been voted off weeks ago! If this was a marathon, she would have pulled over at the 5k mark! Or the Chicago Marathon race officials would have closed the course to her after 16 miles (so glad I chose Disney). Fan favorite or not, she should not win. My vote (if I voted 33 million times) would go out to Helio and Julianne. Energy. Smiles. Good looks!
But like all of you who religiously visit my blog each and every day in anticipation of a new entry, I will firmly plant myself this Tuesday night in front of the TV until 11 pm, with a box of tissues at my side (I have a cold - really!), and enjoy some quality reality television, while anxiously awaiting the verdict.
This gets me to thinking though (which I do periodically on a good day). I bet I could be a candidate for a reality show on running....Running With The Stars...oh, the options are endless. After I am done taunting the Osmonds, I could break into a full sprint....they would never catch me...and I'd have Julianne as my partner (just thinking out loud here)...
