Couch to Beacon: Redemption

Shannon Bryan still can't run, but she believes in second chances. She's giving the Beach to Beacon 10K another shot (you know, after last year's tragic failure. But let's not bring that up).

Video: Beach to Beacon trial run

I know, I know - I promised the video three weeks ago. Unfortunately I'm about as proficient at video editing as I am at running.

So without further adieu, See. Shannon. Run...Sort of...

Amazing!!!! All that running and exertion, and YOU NEVER EVEN BROKE A SWEAT! My goodness girl...you must be in REALLY good shape, what with all that running and training and stuff! Where do you come up with that self-discipline...you should teach a class on motivation and preparation...all those New-Englanders could learn a thing or two from your splendid example!!! I'm so proud of you I even sent articles and photos chronicling your run to the Chicago Tribune - Special Heros section!

SYNOF!!!!

(NOTE: I thought it appropriate to post a "fake rave review" for your fake run) [giggle!]

Your creativity and artistic liberty were amazing. That was one of the funniest videos ever. You did a great job and obviously have amazing talent at not only writing and editing, but in video and good eating as well.
Great job!

So I woke up this morning and sat at my computer with my coffee and saw the e:mail that your latest installment was posted on Mainetoday.com. Now I'm sitting here in my PJ's with my coffee cup half full and the other half splattered across the screen of my laptop because I was laughing so loud I spit my coffee. Girl, you have mega talent, even if it's not in the running world! I think Saturday Night Live should be calling you any second. :)

Shannon, doesn't all that agitation make your beer foam up? Careful you don't get any up your nose.

I'm glad you asked, Wendy. Drinking while running is quite difficult - in fact, in the video you can see the beer foam spilling out of the bottle (I know, what a waste). I nearly did get it up my nose.

Brilliant Shannon, absolutely brilliant! Hilarious!! With a great attitude like that and your rigorous training schedule you should do just fine. Cheers, and the very best of luck!

Oh my God, I think I feel tears welling up, the ending is just so touching. I am so proud of you. Our little Shannon has grown up so much taking on this big responsibility of running such a high profile race. Oh, before I forget, you owe me gas money.

You are my hero. When/if you come down, maybe you can show these rednecks a thing or two about fitness.

Yikes, looks like I need to get myself back in shape in order to keep up with you. ;)
