Thriller. That’s Right!

14 Jun

So the 3-Day Walk suggests a 24 week Training Schedule.  24 weeks was, ohhhhh, about 2.5 weeks ago.  Perhaps I will opt for the 16 week Training Schedule.  My team member, Susan, started training some time back in ’08, I think, and is currently walking about 1200 miles every morning on the canal.  But I can’t compete with Susan.  Literally, I can not.  That would be like me taking the bet that the world will end on May 21 on May 22.

Susan has twin boys, still always has energy, always looks great, my kid totally loves her, other parents totally love her – THAT girl. Susan will probably finish the 3 Day in 2 days, and come back and cheer the rest of us on while delivering perrier over ice.  Every team needs a Susan.

Sweet Fancy Moses, thank God I’m not the Susan.

I’m the girl that, instead of walking, learns how to do the THRILLER dance and solemnly requests that my team join me with a Thriller Show on Day 2.  SO FUN!  Right??  My team is on board because, frankly, they are the best.  But they requested a few more people.  I guess some people find dancing Thriller a little uncomfortable in a small group.

So who is in?  Thriller training!  Think Thriller flash mob – we’ll be famous.  I don’t know who is reading this, but if you are, I feel like you’re game for Thriller. Bring your friends, your kids (hella yeah, Xia will rock this), your grandparents – whoever you’ve got. Its an MJ Showdown.

Comment.  I want names.  And yes, I am open to wearing white gloves. But if you want to light your hair on fire, you’re on your own.

    Can I be a dancer in the “back row”, providing there are rows. Flash mob might make me want to move up a row…funny visual. Ok, so maybe I’ll check out the link and see if I can dig up any groove from days past.

    Harrison and I…”In”!!! Don’t tell Jeff Collins. I did the Thriller dance after a few cocktails many years ago and he’s been requesting an encore ever since!

    K – well as usual, I’m behind the curve ball, or 8 Ball or late to the game, whatever you want to call a procrastinator extraordinaire such as myself, but Becca you have made the 60 mile 3-Day walk sound enticing. The fact that I so casually dismissed the walk and as a sister-in-pink is highly questionable, but you have made me least bit curious about possibly joining your team if you are still in need :) If not, then I say, “Party On Wayne!”

    Cheers,

      You TOTALLY walk to dance Thriller!!! Hella Yeah, get your walking shoes on. (Do you even have “walking shoes?” I feel like your shoes are more of a spin / marathon / kick your butt variety…)
