I hope all went OK for you and the family. BTW, I love your new avi. Is that from this past weekend?

iamDawnAnderson - 2013-05-07 8:15 PM Lord, what have I gotten myself into with this group?! You all are hilarious & I love it! Did some "swim" practice today even though it was cut short due to a bad storm. I still can't swim.

Richardsdrr - 2013-05-07 6:18 AMQuick question for the male manatees. I'm about to go on my long bike ride, what do you guys do with your......um........tackle? In past rides ( no comments Yanti/Salty/Joe) I have taken the skin off the meat, of the meat and two veg combo, through rubbing. I have tried tucking it down the left leg and the right leg, but the old one eyed python still gets rubbed. I have tried scrunching it up, aka codpiece type, but too uncomfortable for the baby's arm. Just wondered if you'd have any suggestions. My wife suggested to tuck the purple headed warrior in a sock. I said have we got any knee length socks, she said no, but we've got a babies ankle sock that would fit the love truncheon perfectly. The nerve.... Apologies for the blatant excuse to get in as many euphemisms for that part of the male anatomy, but it was fun

jogo - 2013-05-07 9:18 PM I was so impressed by the quality of euphemisms that I read this to my former cyclist husband. His advice was to either have your wife give you some rough $ex to toughen up or buy a better seat. His vote was for the former but the choice is yours.

QueenZipp - 2013-05-07 6:53 PMHey, what page is the list with all the pod names?  I wanted to add everyone to my friends list but can't seem to find the list.  Does anyone have mad computer skills to make a cool table?  Definitely not my skill.

I hate going really far for races ... unless it's a place I plan to spend some time actually visiting. So, completely based on my own bias, I say Tidewater.

But I like how Tavern sounds. Is there beer there? 

4agoodlife - 2013-05-07 9:02 PM Check out Janyne or Chris's log pages. They are the "go to" people for such spectacular things :D

And we need shortcuts to these shortcuts with how things are going, as some are still putting actual names with screen names.

I'm going to share this because I was shocked and a little ticked and curious if this happens more often than I thought.

So I started out walking for 5-6min to warm up for my run tonight. My 4mi loop goes through our subdivision for a bit. I don't run with ear buds, but I have Pandora playing on my phone. As I got to a 4-way stop, I heard and saw a few boys jumping on a trampoline across the street. They weren't very old 7-12 y/olds. As they were coming up over the backyard wall, they were yelling things...didn't pay much attention til I got closer. I turned my phone down a bit and heard "I want to eat your pu$$y" several times and in various voices. I ignored for a minute as I was going by...but it continued with a few other things thrown in. I paused my runkeeper and turned of volume as I walked back and pretended to look for something on the ground. This time it was "Hey, girl! I want to....." Ugh! I turned across the street and headed for the house (it was on a corner).

 By the time I got to the front of the house, they whole group was racing down the sidewalk to another house. The boy in the back looked no more than 7 and he was scared. LOL!!! Good!  I started to follow them, but decided to go to the house where it happened. The mom was coming out as I went up the driveway, and she looked very puzzled. I asked her if there was a group of boys on a trampoline that just ran out of her house to confirm it was them. Then I told her what had happened. She apologized, and I asked that she talk to them about their behavior.  Part of me wanted to take more time and ask her to get them to face me, but I'll save that for if it happens again.

There weren't any kids in any backyards when I passed on the way home. I can only hope that there was a discussion at least. Even if not, I know it scared them enough to run.  It really came down to letting them think it was ok to talk to a woman like that...any woman/girl.

Sooooo...has this happened to anyone else? What did you do....or what would you do?

Definitely a good thread for My Cup of Joe - WWCOJD

4agoodlife - 2013-05-08 3:55 PM Funny. That crossed my mind. Thought I'd start in my "safe little pond" first. COJ gets a little crazy...But I am really curious so I'll throw it in for argument fodder later. LOL

KansasMom - 2013-05-07 8:46 PM

As a mother of boys, I am thankful that you said something. I would be horrified if my boys did something like this, and I hope they never would, but if they did, I would certainly want to know about it.

This is to say that you did the right thing. Some things are not appropriate. Everyone needs to be treated with respect, and they were disrespectful. (Even if they are little kids and probably don't even understand all the implications of what they are saying -- thinking of the 7 year old here.)

OH, and Judi reminded me that I get a discount on the closer race because they screwed up the 1/2 marathon & 10k we did earlier this year.  So, the races would probably be the same price.

I guess the question is: do I drive 1.5 hours away to do a race a week early (3 weeks from big race instead of 2)? Or do I do the local race where I already know the course?

QueenZipp - 2013-05-08 7:15 AM As much as we both hate the organizer of the local race it makes sense to do this one.  No gas, no salt water and a little further back from the A race for your recovery.   

It kills me to suggest this race.
