I might not be fast, but...

Somewhere in the past few days I came across a saying that seems more and more fitting as time goes on. I would like to credit the source, but I can't for the life of me remember where I saw/heard that. However, it's stuck in my head and I kinda' like it.

I skipped a swim workout one morning because my toe nail polish was chipping. I repainted them and went the next morning and thought "I may not be fast, but at least I look good"

I was all giddy when my second pair of running shoes this time turned out to have some pink detail and thought to myself, "I may not be fast, but at least I'll look good"

I was disappointed when the GoGirl! shirt didn't fit, because I may not be fast, but I wanted to look good.

I still love the blue tape in my handlebars because I may not be fast, but at least it looks good.

I was actually really happy with my finish pics after Buffman Squeaky even though I finished 4th from last because in my mind, I may not be fast, but at least I looked good.

I have a sprint triathlon next weekend. Now, what should I wear? Afterall, I know I'm not fast...

  1. Hey, I got a question for you....I AM not fast, and I DON'T look good, so where does that leave me??? Back of the Pack...waaaay in the back.

    Just remember in all that you do, everywhere you go....there have to be short people to make the tall people tall...there have to be slow people to make the fast people fast....and there have to be those of us that don't look to good so the other people DO look good!!!!

  2. Ditto to what Randy said. I absolutely am not fast, I don't look good but I do enjoy life.

  3. For the record, I'm not thinking that *I* look good. That is why I depend on cute running shoes, freshly polished toes, etc. LOL

  10. Not sure, but I know I have used that quote for a LONG time! So maybe I said it? Not that I'm claiming it, I'm just saying! And you aren't that slow.

  13. All the great fashion designers cash in on this secret, which is no secret: a woman feels better if she looks her best.
