Mad Manatee Mentors 2013: CLOSED (exc/ Pop Tart bribes) (Page 271)

Nope, I know exactly what you mean. This is one that I have seen, but even it is not what you are talking about.  I put 'speedwork' in quotations, because I know I am not really for the 'real deal'.  But I wasn't sure if even throwing in some shorter fast repeats were in order.  I am totally cool with keeping on with what I am doing, because it is working.  To be honest, I may never get far past 'base' training--my body may not tolerate it.  I have an athletes mind and spirit; my tendons and joints wanna sit on the couch...

This will be my pyramid!

Yesterday I was riding home with the echoes of the Salty's el ride running through my head. A pretty picture it wasn't. But I did end up with a limerick, which Salty asked for. So, here is the start of the stoopid that came to me while I rode yesterday.

"There once was a girl in Seattle

While running she was rarely frazzled

On a train ride a perv

got on her one last nerve..."

I'm sorry, but these are the things that run through my empty noggin while I am trying to push through intervals. I hope everyone has a great day and continues to smile in the face of whatever challenge you may have.

LOL!  Bah, we still say mileage.  We like to throw you folks a bone occasionally.

Ok, so just some tempo stuff here and there then.  I still don't understand how running consistent, 'easy' kilometers () translates to running a race at a faster pace, but I have experienced it, so will keep on keeping on.

Alright, quite frankly I was a little embarrassed to publish this but SALTY-SHYTE-SHOW

Also, for those of you that don't know, I GOT THE JOB!

Oh healing vibes sent.

Emotional roller coast this week for me too.  My younger sister (drama queen) sends me a message to say dad very down not sleeping convinced he has cancer again and is dying.  I'm getting ready to book a flight home!

Speak to parents, not very forthcoming...but dad very jolly as usual.  Older sister gets onto it (the opposite of the younger) all is fine, dad just had a bad night's sleep and got to worrying and is fine.  Any developments that require a flight home she will let me know!

Geez.

Hola from somewhere near Hades. Seriously tired of the heat...and I've got to do an LT test tonight that I've been putting off for...ummmm, well, ever since I heard of it.  I've got test anxiety. My motivation to get it done was to buy some new workout clothes today.

Ever just bump into odd people in random places? I've had several in the past couple of weeks. Not quite like Salty's, although one today might be a second cousin. Today, had my toddler with me and I was trying on clothes. I heard a man and his adult daughter--"Holy shyte, dad!" is how I know -- outside the room (single dressing rooms sit in the middle of the store), but wasn't paying much attention to proximity. I finished and opened the door to push the cart out...he must've been standing a foot from the mirror because I almost hit him. I said sorry and he said, "It's okay. Didn't they tell you these are two-way mirrors? Lookin good!" Sigh. Being humorous and being creepy is just such a fine line.

Looking at a new mountain bike...mine is a 2003/4? Kona...and there are some good deals we've seen. Likely narrowed down to Specialized or Felt. Oh boy!

So now I need to catch up on the rest of Podnews.
