If I would have had a heart attack..

...They REALLY would have gotten their moneys worth.

So I made some pasta last night, and ate too much of it. To my surprise, an hour later, I was
running in a giant, airtight ball.

This video will now be my workout motivation...



On the way to the finish line, I was pretty much falling down the whole way! 
And no, if you had any doubt, I didn't win first prize.

Memo to Conseco Fieldhouse and the Indiana Fever (WNBA) - 
it would be nice if you at least included a coupon for a large drink in the little prize package. 
I was a mighty thirsty afterwards.

Nice job, Terry. What i love most is they make you wear a helmet. How did you wind up being Contestant #2? Did you lose a bet?

Tatman said...

That's great! Thanks for sharing it with us. You know how much we like to laugh. Seriously, a free drink is the LEAST they could have given you.

Jocelyn said...

Kathy- The fact that a person is inside a giant beachball isn't silly enough, so they finish the job by making you wear a bike helmet.

They approached me as we entered the stadium. I figured that when would be the next time I was ever asked to do something ridiculous like that? Never have to do it again though. Very stuffy in there.

Tatman- exactly. preferably a large beer, but I would have gladly taken a bottle of water. So I had to spend 4.50 on a coke, then later 6.50 on a Bud "Select".

Myrrh- Thanks! Glad to!

Lanie- I'm sure you're right!

Jocelyn- Yep. Seriously that was one of the main reasons I did it!

Terry said...

nycdesigner- just make sure there's video if you ever do!

You looked like you were starting to fade toward the end there!

I'm sure that SOMEHOW this is the universe coming back into balance with you... you make tiny objects, the universe puts you in a giant hamster ball.

Terry said...

Katie- Fading at the end? I felt half dead by that point.

Yes, could be some strange forces trying to end me in an ironic way. Better luck next time Universe!

Terry,

I think if not for that stupid mascot, you would have had a real chance! That's an awesome video! Thanks for sharing!
