Who are you?

I am, among other things, a wife, mum, daughter, sister, friend, endurance athlete, Bulldogs fan and psychologist. I live in the country and love it. I miss the city.
I like making things, except food. I like to decorate my surroundings. I believe that accessorising is what separates us from the lower animals. I wear hats to the races.
I dream big. I go after scary goals because life isn't about being half-arsed. I AM NOT BEIGE.
I am teetering on the pre-marathon dread/excitement see-saw. I'm feeling very (this post has been edited because it's wrong to diss your loved ones on the internet). But I'm going to have a good day because I've decided I will.

I'm an ebay and f&ceb00k tragic and a blogger. Apparently I have 16 "followers", some of whom are clearly very shy. I'm also a comment ho (and am feeling in need of some encouragment this week).
Now, mysterious ones, tell me who YOU are!
More panic-stricken pre-marathon ramblings anon

I am a person who actually lives in the area where that sign exists (for real!). I think it is maybe 7 miles from my house....

You will be fabulous because you choose to be.

Wes said...

just remember, at the end of the day, this is all about you, and you are a better person for the choices you make. not to worry so much about the choices others make...

Kathy said...

All the best for the weekend. I love reading about your goals and the fantastic way that you set about achieving them.

Can't believe the big day is almost here! It was about this time last year you recorded the podcast with us, talking about your first marathon and parading around in your medal... and now you're coming up for #3? you are a superstaaaaaaaaaaar! :)

I'm here.

I'm a knitter, a scientist, a good impersonator of Leonard from the Big Bang Theory, a runner and apparently a newbie Rugby player. I'm also stupidly determined.

You will rock the marathon with your hen out. I'm really sad that I cannot be there this year: I'd had loved to see you finish again.

Instead, Team SD(Northern Hemisphere) is going to run a half in sympathy.

I am a fan!
My budding half marathon plans interupted by pregnancy, birth...two babies and big love!
You remind me that big goals and big dreasm are indeed possible.
Best of luck ,
Look forward to hearing all about it!

Just checking in to make sure you're ready for the big day.

I will have a nice cold glass of champers waiting for both you and Berny at the pub afterwards!

All about rainbows and rainbow magic!

Well, you should know me as a not so mysterious stalker of yours. Who is living a fairly simple life these days... being a student, housemate, friend.
I manage to combine a big mouth/personality with a lot of shyness and I have issues with attention. Which is why what freaks me out THE MOST about Sunday is the people LOOKING AT ME. And did someone (you) say there are big screens? *panic*

Hope your bird war wounds are healing nicely.

Hi :)

In no particular order:

I'm a secretary, a singer, a teacher, a triathlete, a wife, a boxer and schnauzer owner/fan, I'm cheesy, I like to read, I sometimes try to write, I love road biking, I want to live a life full of adventure!

MorseyRuns said...

You know me! I am a jogger, upholder of the right (and the left), dog walker and avid reader of your blog who is inspired by your success!

Paul said...

Hi Alison. I'm me! I enjoy reading your blog and continue to draw inspiration (and humour) from your posts. All the best for Sunday!
Paul :-)

I'm sure you'll be adding to your list of awesome this weekend. Plus you get to run on the 'g and that's always a buzz :)

Margaret said...

I am many things, but one is a fan of other people running! Me running i am still not too sure about but people running, and running marathons, fills me with awe.

Will be thinking of you this weekend and hope you finish #3 with thoughts of #4 in your head..

Yay for 10/10/10...
