Let me first start off with our amazing journey to raise $2,100+. Our goal was to support one amazing girl, so that she could go live free of charge, at a home with Mercy Ministries. We all wanted her to get the second chance that she deserves.. We started off at 5:30am meeting up, doing some stretches and "yoga" in the chick-fil-a parking lot. Then our first group of runners took off and started up our amazing 18 hour day together. The awesome thing is we ended up raising enough money to be able to support her!!
NOW let me show you and then tell you about my choice of attire....
Yes, along with my mis-match clothes I am wearing REEBOK EASY TONES. You know the shoes with the commercial with all of the women wearing their short shorts showing off their butt and thighs?? Yea, I bought into the corporate scam and bought the shoes. BUT I took it a step further....
You see, I hate working out. I am not a fan of "the burn". And running seems so boring to me, unless I am chasing a soccer ball. So I thought to myself:
" WHAT IF I WEAR MY REEBOK EASY TONES
FOR THE 45ish MILES TO WILLIAMSBURG??
I can kill 2 birds with one stone and get a better butt
and thighs in ONE DAY!!!"
Sounds brilliant huh?? I thought so too, until around mile 16, when I could hardly walk any longer. Anyways, turns out my plan was not so brilliant and I ended up at the orthopedist and he was telling me how I screwed up my IT band.
BUT THE FUN DOES NOT STOP THERE... I got this gel stuff to rub on my knee. So I'm in class the other day (totally paying attention... ahem) and my knee hurts, so I whip out the gel and apply it. Then I get bored in class and do the whole hold your face up with your hand thing. Next thing I know, my knee starts to get numb from the gel... 2 minutes later, so does my left ear and face. Turns out the gel was actually numbing gel. Go figure I didn't read the instructions. hahahahah
Anyways, all of this to say, I love my church. AND Reebok Easy Tones are not the shoe to wear if you ever decide to walk to Williamsburg.
There are so many things about this post that just scream JESSICA.
