Master  4452   |  Subject: RE: Mad Manatee Mentors 2013: CLOSED (exc/ Pop Tart bribes)Originally posted by Asalzwed Originally posted by switch Originally posted by Asalzwed I'd like to program my Garmin to say "Salty disapproves" when I go outta Z2. Fo real.Originally posted by switch Originally posted by Asalzwed I'm not quite as bad as Yuri, but, damn, I have the tendencies.Originally posted by switch Originally posted by Asalzwed Originally posted by rrrunner Originally posted by Asalzwed Originally posted by rrrunner Originally posted by Asalzwed Originally posted by rrrunner Mama bear story... Saturday DH, DS1 and I were at a church function that we do every month. DH and DS1 work on cars and I help do "service writing". A woman we'll call Cindy was working on the same crew with my guys but from what I understand she's on that crew so the "manager" can keep an eye on her work. Anyhoo, Cindy sees the 10k oval sticker on DS1's truck (which I bought for him after Bolder Boulder) and tells him that it's embarrasing to have that on there and he should have anything less than a HM. Of course I didn't find out until later when we were home. He handled it well and talked about BolderBoulder and the fact that I'm doing Rock N Roll. Not sure that I'd have been as polite. 1) I hate it when runners/cyclists belittle other's accomplishments and 2) the mama bear factor. I told DS1 I'd have told her that 13.1 is my cool down. Grrrrrrrr. What a beeeooooch. She should just be embarrassed that she's a B****. I'd tell her that.
Right? I just can't understand that mentality. I try so hard to encourage people into being active that discounting someone's accomplishment boggles my mind. You can tell her to come on up to Seattle and I will race her in a 10K, since it's so easy I'm sure she'd be glad to do it. I like it. Oh, and I guess when she first got there she made a general announcement to anyone who would listen that she might stink because she'd been running that morning. Um yeah, 1) shower 2) sounds like she just wants to brag about running. http://www.jest.com/video/169131/nike-talk-about-running-watch That was completely AWESOME! It reminded me of this one. Love me some Yuri http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quwhg8_3N2s Salty, you know why this resonates with me Ah schnap, you ARE Yuri! THE CHAMPION The first step is admitting the problem Well, I could use a little of that competitive nature. There's gotta be a happy medium somewhere, eh? Hahaha totally. Except wait, even the whole "Z" thing is out of my vocabulary Ahhh, you said it 'zee' dincha? It's zed dammit, zed! |

Regular 5477  LHOTP | Subject: RE: Mad Manatee Mentors 2013: CLOSED (exc/ Pop Tart bribes) Going to try to break the mega quote. But the being able to program your Garmin to scold/motivate you--million dollar idea;) When I got my Nike pod thingy, and Lance Armstrong or Paula Radcliffe would come on and tell me about my "great" run, it was really addicting. I'm pathetic. I long for the cookie. |

We went and saw her play Saturday night. I already knew this, somehow her beauty always reels be back in, but what a terrible attitude! And the way she ignored her fans when every other girl on the team gave the little kids autographs and high fives and stuff, ugh! Kirsten, BTW, I got to see Christine Sinclair play. Wow! Hellof a player right there! Very cool. I know, right! Man she was a one woman show at the Olympics. Seems to always have time for fans too. Sorry to hear about you and Hope though, she sure is purty. I'll manage- someway, somehow. |

Mine could be something like "Salty says if you don't get the lead out nobeerforyou" Edited by rrrunner 2013-08-19 2:20 PM |

Simmer the fach down. You ain't doin yourself no favors." Though whatever Salty would come up with would be much more appropriate, I'm sure:) |

Master 3870 | Subject: RE: Mad Manatee Mentors 2013: CLOSED (exc/ Pop Tart bribes) Originally posted by switch Originally posted by 4agoodlife Erin, this sounds like such an awesome trip. Very, very cool that you guys did this and did it spontaneously. Lucky kids you've got thereAmazingly crazy busy 36-hour...with a detour to the Grand Canyon thrown in for good measure! The kids and I can't wait to go back to Zion. They didn't want to stop hiking and climbing. Out of 4 total hours of hiking yesterday (2 early morning, 1 after lunch, 1 at North Rim of GC) my daughter only let herself be carried for about 45 minutes coming down the 2hr hike. DH got a closer look at her stubborn streak. We went to The Spotted Dog in Springdale for dinner Sat night. Fantastic food! My son said it's the best meatballs he's ever had in his life (lol). I ordered salmon on a parmesan and wild mushroom risotto...and it is still making my mouth water! We saw bison, bighorn sheep, deer, lizards, frogs, fish, chipmunks while we were out and about. As we were leaving, we stopped at the nature center which was VERY kid friendly. 
Thanks! So awesome But after being there, I'm trying to get motivated to be back in gym or on trainer. Ummmm...not easy. LOL |
