ebshot - 2008-12-03 1:12 PM So, I need to take my boots to the shoe man so they fit my crazy calves and my pants to the alteration people cause of my crazy thighs.  Why is that?  Should people make clothes and shoes that fit us athletic people?  Is that too much to ask? 

I cant by pants that arent tooo long for me so everything has to be taken up... and right now Im having jeans issues where nothing stays up properly...

And why must my favourite tops always start to break down at the same time... and my gym gear.... why cant they stagger it so its not just one massive expense?

I hear you!  I have to go a size (or 2) up so the pant fit in the thighs but are so huge in the waist!  Frustrating!  Size 10 thighs, size 6/8 waist.  Ugh!  

I am sick of spending money on cold weather workout gear.  Bryan is tired of it too!

Umm yeah I have that problem but with tops... if something fits my chest its often too big for the rest of me and vice versa...

ebshot - 2008-12-02 9:03 PM Hey Kristin!  How are you tonight?

Hey! I'm doing pretty good. Just did a 4 miler on the dreadmill. It was boring and slightly excruciating, but all in all went well. I also cooked for the second night in a row so I'm amazing myself this week It was all in the spirit of detox, however, I will admit that I'm drinking wine. I made it one whole day - does that count?

Detox is overrated!  What are you drinking?  I'm finishing off some Cabernet Sauvignon.  It's yummy!

I'm also drinking a cab Yum. I figure red wine has all those good antioxidants and what not.

Yup my trainer reckons drinking red wine on rest days is a good thing... although I think he may have said a glass or two...

But they do make some BIG glasses...

You know my thoughts on a proper serving size Is it bad that I'm still sitting here in my running clothes rehydrating on wine?

What, that is not what you are supposed to be rehydrating with?  Of course, I usually rehydrate with coffee but I can see where wine would be  a good option too!

LOL! This summer when I was in my peak training, always doing two workouts a day, I ran a 10K in Central Park and grabbed a coffee on the way home, got home and jumped on the trainer for an hour and I proceeded to eat an Eggo waffle and finish the coffee while I rode. It was hilarious.

Nice!  A 10K in Central Park sounds wonderful!  I could use a change of scenery around here! I need to find a different running route.  I'm bored with mine.

That's how it always goes. Then the computer and the TV break right at the same time. That's my kind of luck.

Need new bike shoes, and then you realise yuor cleats are all beat up to... and yuor cycle computer stops working...

Huh.  Bah Humbug to you!  

I do have most of my shopping done.  I am going to see the Radio City Christmas Spectacular show next week with Alex (my 7 year old girl).  I am excited about that.  It's just the rest of it...not so much.

If you want to see how I feel about Christmas this year, check out my log heading. I am so not in the mood for any of it. My husband and I are going through a separation and that just adds to it. I hate the music, the decorations and the happy people shopping. I usually love Christmas too, but not this year. Bah Humbug x2!

Umm, let me check....

Edited to add:  about 2:30 hours by car.  I hear it is much faster to park in New Haven and take the train into the city.  Haven't tried that yet.  I know it isn't far.

Oh, sorry to hear about you and your husband.  Bummer deal.  I too have a hatred for happy people but that is a year round thing, not just during the holiday time!

Am I the only girl around who can't find a good pair of boots to fit cause my calves are freakishly large?  Grrr!  I need me a pair of hooker boots!

I'd love to find a good pair too, but then I'd have to get an outfit to go with them too.

D001 - 2008-12-02 8:48 PM I like the boots, too. Hold on - got to get that logo off the bottom.....

Am I the only girl around who can't find a good pair of boots to fit cause my calves are freakishly large?  Grrr!  I need me a pair of hooker boots!

I'd love to find a good pair too, but then I'd have to get an outfit to go with them too.

I'm so bummed, I finally foun a pair of boots that I love (and that fit over my calves...........) oh, and I've had them for 3 years

they are starting to wear out.............
