One thing you need to know about my sister, The Emily Show, is that she yells, a lot. Often, at me. And, while I have used to blog to vent about that yelling, I do have to say, I appreciate her. The Emily Show has signed up, whole-heartedly, for many of my fitness adventures.
Another thing you need to know about The Emily Show is that she doesn't do anything half-assed. What started with a well-costumed 5k at the Red Flannel Run has turned into a near complete co-optation of my fitness adventures. The Emily Show is signed for RAGBRAI and she's training for the Dam-to-Dam (which I can't do I have a scheduling conflict, dang!).
The Emily Show, much like my friend Steven, cajoles (mocks) and encourages (bullies) me into doing things I would otherwise resist, like training for the Fight for Air Climb by climbing the stairs at the Principal Building, then shopping for antiques.
And, while I grumble, I do appreciate the assist in getting out of my comfort zone.
The Emily Show also really believes in training programs. She's trying to fill out the RAGBRAI training program like a timed math test. She wants to get all the answers right! So, we've been trying to get out on some rides.
Last week, The Emily Show ran over to my house before our bike ride (that's her Dam-to-Dam + RAGBRAI training schedule, just do both). Needless to say, she was a little useless on our little 10 mile bike ride.
What wasn't useless though, was her hilarious outfit: The Emily Show ran over to my house, then rode her bike 10 miles in what was basically a pair of thin fashion leggings and what looked like a lace thong (see the picture above). Her outfit choice (the crescent moon?) not only gave me plenty of material to mock her with, but also made me want to ride at least fast enough to not have to see her behind.
I will give her credit though. What she lacks in coverage, she makes up for in quality.
that can also be called a whale tale I believe.
