kaburns1214 Mentor Group 2012 Part 2 - CLOSED (Page 152)

Well my legs ware fighting there way out of this FUNK!! So last night I decided to blast out a 5K so search for some snap and pop!!  And I found some of it.

It has been recommended to me to take the next 2 days off (OUCH) and have a easy week next week before USMC.

Tonight is my last night in my house I bought when my wife and I got married 10 years ago we brought both of our children home from the hospital there so many Great Times. Tomorrow I load the moving truck and move 7 miles to a new to us home that need alot of TLC but it will be GREAT

GOD HAS BLESSED US!!

Good luck this weekend!

Moving does not equal two days of rest. 

Maybe if you have a moving company, but yeah not exactly restful.

Thats Why I laugh when I say days off!!

Me too man.  My "day off" this weekend will consist of chasing my two brats around a zoo.

Maybe you can get one of those motorized scooters, that way you can stay off of your legs.

I'll just park my arse in the BOB and have Reagan push me around.

This is interesting, an AGer was cuaght doping and was banned for one year:

Appears that ignorance of the law is indeed a defense.

I surf around ST occasionally and saw this over there.  OMG, did you see the images of this dude?  The photos are almost disgusting.  Literally no BF at 55+.  Um, yeah right.  LOL  I read something about mirrors, too, but I didn't see any images of that.  

I know doping exists at the AG level, and I think it's sad.  It's a matter of integrity, IMO.  I can sympathize with someone who succumbs to some external pressure to succeed (particularly at the Olympic level), but I still think it cheapens the effort and/or win, and I almost feel sorry for them for not getting it.

I think people have this need to feel special and extraordinary, when we are all ordinary.  When I lived in NYC, I saw celebrities on the street and in restaurants, and I never got too excited.  Just some people.   Just like you and me.  Some of us go on to do extraordinary things, but we are all basically the same, and that's how we're connected.  

ST is brutal, btw.  

ST can be brutal but generally there is some decent advice in the midst of a lot of ego.

Beautiful day in CT today.  Mid 60s and sunny.  I'm waiting for the fog to lift and then I have an easy bike and run, which I'll actually do outside.  Also have some new recipes to try this weekend. 

Jen -- I think you'll like a few, I'll post as soon as I confirm that they work well.

Yes, please do pass them on!  I'm always looking for new recipes.  Trying to make a new vegetarian Greek stew this weekend.  We'll see how it turns out.  I love cooking!!!!    

I love the tone at ST.  I have the format of the forums.  Really hard to keep track of threads.

Congratulations, Larkin!  Fantastic job.  Are you excited for MCM?  Is this your first full marathon?
