Run Toto Run Race Report

Race medal (with spinning tornado)

TriAya - 2013-02-11 1:22 PM

Awesomest race name and medal ever! Tactile and auditory!!! How fun!

I'm feeling kind of wistful because my old housemate in LA accidentally threw out a box of my stuff that I'd asked him to keep. He was very apologetic but the stuff is gone. And it was just stuff, nothing valuable, but sentimental: all my race medals from the States, handmade keepsakes that friends had given me that were too bulky or heavy to take back right away, the DVD of me running my first marathon (endurance race, really), some beautiful signed books and rare copies, and several journals' worth of my writing.

I'm feeling the loss pretty keenly, but I've lived without these things for the last few years and all the memories are firmly imprinted in my heart.

That sh*t is whack !!!  I would be so pissed.  I would get over it, but I would be pissed none the less.  

When I was in the Navy, President Clinton and Hillary came to our carrier.  I was fortunate enough to be one of the 50 sailors chosen to have dinner with them, and I sat 2 chairs down from Hillary Clinton.  After the dinner, there was a chance for auto graphs.  Everyone was handing them napkins and paper to sign, I asked Hillary to sign my Uniform shirt.  She did!  Then I made my way to Bill and he also signed it.  Big letters, all the way across my back.  I mailed the shirt to my mother for safe keeping.  I haven't seen it since!!  

I have asked her for it - I have even dug through her attic and old boxes when I visited and haven't been able to find it.  I'm sure she either through it out on accident, or hocked it for something she thought was important at the time.   Hell, maybe she washed it and ruined it.  I don't know.  I keep expecting her to fess up one day.  Who knows.  Maybe it will turn up in a box someday, but I don't buy it.  How the F do you misplace / lose / destroy / give away or sell a navy uniform shirt that was worn by your son and autographed by the president and his wife?  

Uggghhhh - now I'm off to call my mom.  LOL 

Sorry for your loss Yanti - that totally sucks.

My daughter is enjoying the foam roller way more than I am.

Darn it!  Will stay tuned for the start of a new streak.

How's the class going?

Have a great week!

So cute! She definitely makes it look more like fun than a torture device

Can someone please explain to me how I can be mentally tough and push through a tough TR workout, but I can't make myself spend more than 5 minutes with my foam roller? 

4agoodlife - 2013-02-11 5:12 PM I know I need to catch up with reading The Life and Times of the Pod, but need quick advice. Tore my big toenail half off on Friday night (Ugh!!!). Lots of pain and blood. Trimmed it way back last night, but not sure about getting in pool for awhile. Is it just begging for catching something nasty. ..bacterial /fungal?

ponderingfox - 2013-02-12 10:44 AM My bike fit/aero bar buy is scheduled for next Thursday!  Excited to see what they'll do!  (They'll probably tell me my frame is too small).  Hopefully the aero bars are the only additional thing that my bike needs.

Funny first thing I check is the cap colour - Lt Pink. lovely.

Muskrat37 - 2013-02-11 3:23 PM I think you are fine. The chlorine should kill the bugs in the pool and is probably goods for the wound.

MadMathemagician - 2013-02-11 3:26 PM

Just keep it clean with hydrogen peroxide and a bit of antibiotic cream.  It will feel funny for a bit when you swim.   It won't really affect your run or bike after you get used to it.

TJ, I am pretty sure you bike way more than I did before my HIM, you will have no problems with the cutoff.  I was also worried about it, but managed just fine.  Piglets watch out!

4agoodlife - 2013-02-11 5:47 PM Well, I was all ready to go to gym when DH "ordered" me to stay home. There's been a bomb threat at his work and families of management are at risk. Eeeek!!!

WTF?  Where do you live?  That's pretty scary.
