Mad Mutant Manatee Mentors 4--CLOSED (Page 21)

We're getting the same stuff. Missed my run this morning

You ran a 1/2 marathon without properly training for it.  I believe you probably know the answer to this question..  

(Don't run for a few days- go for a walk)

Ahhhhhh...so the next step is to have a voice-activated ear piece to record a "running" commentary?  

That is so cool and will look even better in purple and tarted up.

So piglet Andrew bike coach - I went to his gym last night to observe.  He trains in the art of primal move and kettle bell and stuff that i am clueless about.  He is ex armed forces, he was also on the Olympic team for Tae kwon do.  So he kinda knows his stuff.

The class last night was taken by his gorgeous girlfriend Shannon.  It looked tough.  I cannot commit to the classes I just don't have the hours in a week spare!  BUT I have committed to PT with Andrew - we start Monday and I'm not afraid to say I'm afraid!  So we do an hour on a Monday night 6.30pm then he gives me homework 2 x 20mins sessions to do at home.

And Andrew is away this weekend, but he hasn't let me down, Shannon is taking me for a ride Sunday.  Aren't I the luckiest girl in the world!

YES HALLELUJAH MY DAD FINALLY DIED!!!!!

All the major eff-ups along the way means a few other people are going to have to, as well, but too bad.

For those of you who have been following, it's been a bureaucratic nightmare that only 3rd World and in particular Indonesian bureaucracy could possibly produce, rife with Catch-22s and impossible requirements.

The President finally stepped in and had my dad killed off. THANK YOU. (This was a last resort but for ferk's sake, the poor guy died on March 15th and he wasn't dead yet! And without him being officially dead, we can't REALLY proceed with any of his VERY messy issues and paperwork and legal processes, both business and personal estate).

wow a facebook curveball.  Andrew piglet bike coach has an ex I believe i mentioned we are 'friends' well mainly if I see her at an event or squad we chat, we are friends on facebook etc.  I can't say we've socialised EVER.

Today I get a message from her saying if I don't stop posting about how wonderful Andrew is and how much he is helping me etc she will have to block me on facebook.  She works hard at removing ex's from her life and doesn't need the constant reminders.  WTF! 

I have not responded.  Really - a little childish I thought and I have no idea how to respond to that.

Any ideas manatees?

To be honest we are hardly friends, if she blocked me without telling me I would have taken months to notice.

Thanks for that.  I am trying to be understanding.  She is actually moving to Miami in a month so the dust will settle.  Melbourne isn't a massive city, they both work in the fitness industry - they are bound to cross paths one way or another.

She clearly hasn't moved on from this relationship.  Andrew is in a happy relationship, he has a VERY successful business...probably all the things she would like.

He is now in her 'triathlon world'.  I totally get how that would be unsettling.  The community is small their paths will cross, just I was the first instance.  Just happens I'm pretty facebook active!

I'm not going to respond at all.  I am free to post as I please (I will show some consideration), I am free to train with whom I please, and i am free to be friends with whom I please.

I prefer BT anyhow. 

But I"m a manatee and Yanti is my mentor - at least with respect to this decision! So I hit the road for a gentle "recovery run."  I ran 2 miles, walked about one more after that.  It was just so darn nice out, I had to run a little!

Blah blah blah - f**k that noise! (I know, you've already decided to that while I was sleeping).  I swear, social media fosters childlike behavior, it's ridiculous.  GROW UP OR SHUT UP LADY!

I knew I liked you!

I would never argue with Yanti (oh wait - yes I would).. LOL  

Keep in mind that I think like a 41 year old male who has made the mistake of trying to run a 1/2 without proper training, who has made the mistake of getting excited about my first 10K time and then running too much to fast and who has gone through needless injuries and recovery periods.  

You, not being a 41 year old male, who is new to running and been injured twice in the last year, probably don't have the same issues.  LOL  

and - though I probably don't need to say this (as I have said it before) - I bow down to Yanti's knowledge and coaching prowess.  

So you HTFUd as suggested by Ms. A-M?  Glad you enjoyed and not regretting!

ArielLIlB - 2013-04-08 1:51 PM Question - is it ok to go for an easy run today? I'm still feeling some soreness (mostly quads and some front knee irritation) from the HM yesterday, but it's GORGEOUS out today - spring has finally come to Massachusetts.  Or should I just go for a nice walk?

As suggested by Hal higdon and passed along by me . People really shouldn't listen to me about anything training related as I tend to do things injurious to myself, but in this case my position was backed up by an expert, so the blame for any injury lies with him!

Don't worry, I think I signed a release of liability before I joined the pod .  If we don't have one as a pre-req to joining, we should - there are MANY hazardous activities promoted in this forum that could cause serious bodily harm (DP anyone?) and subject the promoters of said activity to liability.  Ann-Marie or I could probably throw something together...

DOOO EEET!!!

Lol,I would love to see that hold harmless agreement!

x2 I think one of our lawyer podettes should start writing one. We can add on as we do or die

I think that's me and Ann-Marie!
