Mad Mutant Manatee Mentors 4--CLOSED (Page 24)

It is seriously very difficult to NOT have a crush on him and his girlfriend.

Need a like button

Thanks for this, I believe you are absolutely right.  The thing that irks me is that she told me only a week ago she has no feelings for him good or bad and wishes him well.

The break up is hardly fresh it's 5 years ago.

My decision is nothing so far.  I've not heard any more.  If however i'm posting anything about him I will drop her a line to tell  her and then say, I will remove any awkwardness from the situation by unfriending her.  No hard feelings see you out there!

So I'm visiting my home town for a couple of days for work and today I got the go for a run along the foreshore as the sun came up.

It was so magical that I kind of want to move home just so I can run there every day. It just made me want to keep on running, but unfortunately I had to go home so I could go out to breakfast with my mum and sister for yummy pancakes

It feels like it doesn't matter what happens today its going to be a good day just cause I got to run by the beach as the sun came up. God truly did make us a beautiful world.

Don't confuse DEMENTED with DEMENTIA..  

"Here, have a dollar, in fact nah brother man, here have 2.  2 dollars means a snack for me, but it means a big deal to you."  

 Your story, specifically the bolded part, made me think of this line from one of my favorite songs of all time.

bcraht - 2013-04-09 5:08 PM I'm going to see Jillian Michaels tonight

Very cool!!  Is she doing a meet and greet or some sort of speaking engagement?

She's on a tour--"Maximize your life".  I just love her on the Biggest Loser.  She would totally motivate me--actually, she is in my head sometimes during a tough workout.  Plus, she's got great arms/shoulders. 

She has a lot more parts that I consider "Great" also!  

I love runs where I am so keenly aware of the beauty around me.  Everything just feels right.  These runs truly give me the feeling of being high on life.  

Thanks for sharing.

Really?  

I hate the East Coast.  Ok - Hate is probably to strong of a word, but I could never live anywhere on the East Coast.  Visit - sure...live, no way.  (The Navy put me on the East coast for 4 years)

I have met many an East Coast transplant that love it here, but when I lived there, I rarely met someone from the West coast that didn't want to go home.

4agoodlife - 2013-04-10 2:01 PM ahhh... gotta love shuffle on the iPod. Rihanna, Nickelback, Survivor

Mine usually goes Nickelback, Nickelback Nickelback

haha... that's some demented shuffle...or a shuffle with dementia

Hey!  I see what you did there!  

bored of listening to music on your trainer rides or your runs - try a podcast or two.

This one went up yesterday.  Rich Roll is an Ultra Ironman a bit of a superstar - he's a vegan an ex-alcoholic etc.  His story is pretty amazing. 

Anyway - yesterday he interviewed Macca for an hour and a half.  The most candid interview Macca says he's ever done.  If you already have an opinion on Chris McCormack put it to one side and listen to this.  It's really good.

Quick update - then I'm off to bed.  

I picked my bike up from the shop.  It was in desperate need of a tune up.  Also needed a new front derailleur cable.  While there, I had them move one of the spacers on my neck from the bottom to the top (dropping my handlebars approx 1/2 inch).  I also mentioned that I wanted to bring the seat up 1/4" - but am not sure if they did that.  

On today's ride, I swear that my power transfer was so much better!  Everything was so much smoother, the speeds were up a tad, I got up to speed on the flats and downhills so much faster, and most importantly, my legs didn't feel as spent after 14 hilly miles (that included two, 2 mile climbs!). 

After the bike, I decided to do a 4 mile run.  I can't believe how good the legs felt!  I wasn't even pushing it, and I negative split every mile, and finished with an 8:03 avg pace!  (5:00 per km for you Euro folk)... 

What a day.  

Good night all... off to bed at a decent hour tonight.  

That IS surprising to hear.  My guess is that it has a lot to do with the person they are conversing with!  You are very likeable.  

I'm so excited for your race!

Seen my brother yet?  Hehe - he is a huge man - obese is the word - with his obese son and his wife and daughter.  They are having a grand time.  if you really wanted to find them hit McDonalds, they will surely be there.

I hate the East Coast.  Ok - Hate is probably to strong of a word, but I could never live anywhere on the East Coast.  Visit - sure...live, no way.  (The Navy put me on the East coast for 4 years)

Ehhh so I'd generally agree. I couldn't live most places on the East Coast but NYC is an exception. I'm betting Boston will be great too. I've always been a huge fan of big cities though. The people here are fantastic, too. That part was very unexpected.

Transplanted New Yorker here; I agree, the people are fantastic!

I found that the stereotype and the reality were not even close. We lived on Long Island for 10 years and made many trips into the city. Always enjoyed the time we spent there.  But I try to enjoy wherever I may be. I've found that embracing the area you are in gives you a better outlook and more insight into it. And more enjoyment as well.

Have fun, Salty and make sure you do NY things like eat a dirty water from a street cart, run in Central Park, and at least go downtown to the financial district and get photos of the Statue of Liberty anf the World Trade Center area. I haven't been back there since 9/11 and I understand that you will be touched emotionally by it. Also, I have contacts with some higher ups in the NYPD, so if you run into trouble, call me. I'm just sayin'.

Thank you. We often never know how we'll touch someone, or what the very smallest kindness may mean to that person. But you have affected people, some of us are affected just by hearing your story. Keep on being awesome!
