TAN#194 UnimporTANt Chatter (Page 26)

Morning Gorgeous!  Sorry to hear about the rowing - I'm completely directionally challenged and shouldn't ever try to get somewhere new without a time buffer of at least 30 minutes.

And a single serving of wine is a bottle. 

morning TAN!

I had another flat tire on my bike ride to work this morning. That's 4 in 4 months.  But one was a double in the same ride.  Lots of road junk out there right now.  Is it the time of year maybe?

While we're on the subject of paid time off.  I guess that's one good thing about our company.  You get a certain number of vacation days which increases each year.  You can roll over days as long as you use-up a certain amount.  

But you also get Sick days which roll-over indefinitely.  So if you've been with the company for a long time and you get cancer, you can take-off as much time as you need almost.  There have been 4 people that I know of who were paid and received full benefits while fighting cancer even though they were gone for months at a time.   

Top O the Mornin TANners! 

I have decided that today will be a good day. 

I have no idea why it will be, but it will! 

That's all for now, back to you regularly scheduled programming

Oooh Ick!! good luck!!!

I prefer having the line by line instructions from looking up how to get from one place to another as I tend to not get lost as easily this way, but I can use a map if I have to - and fold it back up after! 

That is what gets me lost half the time.  It will say take a left and I will go right!!  With a map it is more spacial recognition of the direction I need to go.  Then again I still have to sometimes hold my hands up to see which one makes the L to remember which is left.  Now port and starboard I can do but only if I am facing the stern of the boat.

Hi Monica, Kate, Cheri... sup Cord?

What is shaking people.

I need some motivation this cold weather is really dragging me down. So is the 15 pounds of winter weight and pour eating..hahaha.

I have hardly worked out since November. It was like 9 degrees F out when I got up this morning.

Hey Chris, I hear ya about the cold, oh and the extra weight!! How you been besides dealing with winter?

OK really, You gonna make me say it again??? FLORIDA!

yeah that includes you too!!

Flying out of Detroit at 745 thursday morning for Key West... we going drinking?

What no invite?!?!?  Pffft!!

I just did... ;-)

I use my vacay hours quickly enough I don't know what the number is - but there is a number of hours you can cap out at "saving up". I think it's 200 hours? Maybe 400? Then you start losing it.

I'm finally back up to having 80 hours in the bank; haven't had that much in awhile! 

Sweet!!!!

Hello TAN gents!

I've been having serious issues with motivation too.  Not being signed up for any races yet this year has made it really hard to keep training... but I'm trying to get back into it with realizing that if I want to do B2B this year, my training plan starts April 1st... and that's not all that far away!  EEEEEEK!

Winter sucks.  

Damn you.

I am holding up ok. Still recovering from Knee surgery and I have been putting in 2 short runs a week on the treadmill.

I am committing to run on Wed night outside with our running group from the running store. My first group run in 6 months. Testing out the new Garmin 910 I just got.

And I am trying hard to commit to eating good again.

I will be in Florida the end of may I am going down Cave Diving..

You know I just might think about doing the half at B2B

Winter does suck I have been so lazy for 3 months that I am finding it hard. I also find it hard because it is just me at home. Spin classes at the YMCA are at 5:15 I have a hard time getting there in time after work. And my dog is home alone from 7:30 am until I get back home. I hate leaving her until 6:30.

I am promising myself to go swimming tonight. I HAVE to do something. This object has to get in motion. My pants are getting a bit more snug and I feel squishy.

  SNERK!!

Ok you know I had to, it was required!!
