rrrunner - 2012-07-31 10:52 AM Hey Manatees... I don't know what my problem is the last couple days.  I was having some great workouts on friday and over the weekend.  My swim, bike and run all felt strong. I even ran up hills that I usually walk!  Then yesterday I was back to being a pool-brick. Today I started out on a run and felt sluggish from the start.  Then about a mile and a half in the dog decided to take off with some coyotes.  She usually runs off leash out in the desert and does a great job of coming back when I call her. Not today.  I yelled and yelled for her as I had visions of carrying her back to the house, torn to shreds.  She eventually came back,  unscathed.  After the sluggy start and the dog scare I was done so we headed home and only got a 3 mile run.  She may be grounded from running for a while, or at least relegated to running on leash...

I try to keep in mind at times like this that it is about the journey. And the journey is long. Some days are better then others, but even the bad ones are better then the couch ones. Keep your chin up and keep smiling, you are doing AWESOME!

Funny you should say that.  As I was running back home I was contemplating other sports that would be less time intensive and maybe less emotional.  I considered badmitton, bowling, and couch sitting...

Nix on the badminton. I was nationally ranked in the U.S. and ... the only way I can put it is that it takes the strength and flexibility of gymnastics, the speed and technical skill of table tennis, and the endurance of triathlon put together.

The folks at the world level (and I played with and trained under them here for a summer at the national centre in Indonesia, since it's our national sport) are putting in 40-60 hour training weeks. Not including lunch breaks.

Of course you were! I'm going to back through the last 4 threads and pull out every time you wrote something you've done, or know, or...whatever, that made me go, YOU WHAT?  because at this point I see it and think, it's Yanti, of course she was nationally ranked at badminton.  it's Yanti, of course she chills with Edward Norton's parents in Bali.  it's Yanti, of course she's trying to out run the cops (again) on a moped in booty shorts.  You may be the very most interesting person in the world.  I've got to up my game.

I know she doesn't drink beer, but if she did, it would be Dos Equis.

Ahhhhh ahahahahaha! If I had more spare time, a Photoshop project would be in store! 

This is fun! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-19050139

YES! Yanti should face off with that guy in a dual of interestingness!! Good one.

I"m a 100m track/4 100m relay athlete! I can't believe this chick weighs about what I do!

Michelle-Lee Ahye - Trinidad and Tobago

A stone is 14 pounds.  A pound being 16 ounces.

Well I am closest to Joyce Tafatatha - a 14yr old female from Malawi who is a 50m Freestyle swimmer!

She qualified in 29.51mins......I got some work to do.

Swimmer from Marshall Islands.  Huh?  Why does she and the one from Trinidad/Tobago have booking photos?

I cringe when I see the Indonesians' photos (and we're not exactly a small country) ... but generally they just use passport/document photos for stuff like this. In the age of digital cameras! Shameful!

oh nice crampy spasm right inner thigh, perfect!

I ran at lunchtime, not fast but my initial thought of doing 4km soon increased to 6.25km coz I was having a ball out there.  Sun is shining, it's cold but beautiful, could feel the tan starting.  I loved it!  Lots of like minded people out and about which makes it fun too.

Just got to get my mind into the idea of the drainer tonight!  Just 45mins while Artemis does her homework.  More spellings!  No poem this week.

Good news re my lovely daughter - Teacher asked to speak to my husband after school, dread as expected!  But no - have faith.  She has been selected, the only one in her class, to go on a course, it's four mornings in September - for advanced and gifted children!  I AM SO PROUD!!!!!

Handball chicks are hot. And she's a hometown hottie (again awful photo but she's hot.) I'm not gonna make any jokes about hand ball.

I absolutely kid you not ... I'm watching men's kayak slalom and the commentator just said, VERBATIM:
