Me? A Blog Award?
I just got notified by some of my friends on twitter that I have been selected by the EverymanTri site as one of the top 10 endurance blogs of the year. Me? Little old me?
I scanned some of the other blogs, just to see who I'm rolling with. I wasn't surprised to see the man who will be guiding my pursuits next year, my new coach, Chucky V. It's not his first time on the list. I have been wooed by his blog for years (which oddly makes me feel like I'm being coached by a celebrity now).
So, apparently there is a voting contest for the top three. I was like, WOW, I should tell my friends so they vote for me. But then I started scanning the other top ten'ers. Ummm, how on earth an I supposed to compete with this guy? He's like majorly ripped, and quite ummm, fashionable in that white uniform [read "hot"]. Unfortunately (for myself) I felt compelled and went and voted for him, I assume others will do the same. Although, just his top post made me want to sign up for the Ultraman (double Ironman). What is it with this guy? Hummm?
So, I'm supposed to compete with Bree Wee? But she's MY favorite pro evah! And Gale Bernhardt? I haven't coached any US Olympic teams, and I don't even blog about riding bikes with dogs! Oh, but of course, I will whoop FatCyclist, yea, I'm sure of it, after all, he only just spent time riding with Lance and team Radio Shack. Seriously? How is little old me in the same ballpark?
I can only imagine that some of you out there like reading about a crazy mom in the Rocky Mountains that isn't afraid to dream big and to chase those dreams with reckless abandon. Maybe you like following my crazy antics because so many of you know me personally and know that I'm in your corner, I'm just one of you, and I would gladly line up to shave my head for you.
Well, regardless of why I made this list, I am honored. Honered that representing and motivating and inspiring you all has landed my jumbled blog amongst the truely awesome.
If you are hear to see what I'm about so that you can make an educated vote, watch my videos, this is me for reals, just don't forget to vote.
