rrrunner - 2013-03-18 12:39 PM Well, I booked my massage appointment Undecided. I explained my training situation to her, and my hesitation to get a massage, and the fact that I'd felt comfortable with her last summer after a race. She's seems good with all of that.

Good job!  :-)

Now I just have to figure out if I'm supposed to tip her...

I do

Me too.

me three

Being a massage therapist, I love you guys.

Let me get this straight. You're SDA, single, into endurance, and a MASSAGE THERAPIST ...

You do know I may have recently come into a sizeable inheritance and am looking for someone with a U.S. citizenship as I'll likely be taking on German (exchanging the U.S. for Indonesian) ...

I have missed the last several pages, but something tells me this quote block just caught me up!  

BTW Yanti, I'm single, not SDA, not a massage therapist, but I love to trade massages that usually lead to fun adult activities later..

Just thought I would throw my name in the hat of 'mericans you may be considering! LOL   Of course - you would have to get Jo's permission first...

I wish there was a way to get us all in one place and do a race together.

That would be the coolest thing for sure.  I'd love to go toe to toe with Salty.  Not to mention seeing us all in the cool Manatee t-shirts that we surely would get.

I'll challenge you to a beer mile. My debut beer mile. Nick Symmonds holds the WR

http://www.runnerspace.com/video.php?video_id=74899-Nick-Symmonds-5-19-Beer-Mile-TMZ

Cool idea.  Bummer I don't drink though.  How about we drink four cups of water and see who can run the fastest with a full bladder.

Or we could use ice cream.  There is a budding race series called the Jog n Hog where you have to run 2 miles, eat a quart of ice cream and run back 2 miles. They also have an event somewhere that involves eating pepperoni knots and bacon or something like that.

Just remember that flattery and Pop Tarts will get you everywhere. Of course, Jo might be making the ultimate sacrifice and sleeping with Macca for me, so that would definitely earn her some Skrat points or primary sharing dibs.

I'll consult Salty on kiss quality. It looked pretty good, but I'll get back to ya

Agreed, a quart sounds like a lot, but it's what they do.  The kids' run is a pint.  We'll make our own rules, dangit!   Maybe time bonuses for adding toppings!

I once filled my bowl so full of ice cream that I couldn't eat it fast enough and as it melted it overflowed the bowl.

Man, I have been really struggling. I can't quite put my finger on what is wrong. I guess maybe I am overwhelmed with everything going on in my life. 

This job thing is reaaaaaallly dragging out and turning into a beast. Like ... huge career decision stuff. Stuff that I wasn't even really looking for. And of course it's not far out from Boston. I don't really think running should take priority to career decisions (as it's NOT what I do, nor will it ever be what I do for a living) but it really does make me truly happy. 

Ugh.

Man, I have been really struggling. I can't quite put my finger on what is wrong. I guess maybe I am overwhelmed with everything going on in my life. 

This job thing is reaaaaaallly dragging out and turning into a beast. Like ... huge career decision stuff. Stuff that I wasn't even really looking for. And of course it's not far out from Boston. I don't really think running should take priority to career decisions (as it's NOT what I do, nor will it ever be what I do for a living) but it really does make me truly happy. 

Ugh.

Adrienne, I don't often go real name, so I must be serious. Wink 

The job thing is a whole big deal that you have very little control over. Put it in a box and only open it when needed. Compartmentalize. Running may not be what you do for a living, but it is a part of who you are. Put it into a different box. Continue doing so with other life "stuff". Once you come to a final group of boxes, you will have a good idea of the ones you control, the ones that you don't control, and the ones that control you. Some are good, some are bad, and others just are out there. No matter what you find though, remember that the truly important things are not things at all. They are the people that you care about and the people that care about you.

Life is like running, mostly easy, sometimes hard. Right now is one of those hard times, but you are stronger than anything life can throw at you. Remember to breath and enjoy.

I wish there was a way to get us all in one place and do a race together.

That would be the coolest thing for sure.  I'd love to go toe to toe with Salty.  Not to mention seeing us all in the cool Manatee t-shirts that we surely would get.

I'll challenge you to a beer mile. My debut beer mile. Nick Symmonds holds the WR

Cool idea.  Bummer I don't drink though.  How about we drink four cups of water and see who can run the fastest with a full bladder.

Or we could use ice cream.  There is a budding race series called the Jog n Hog where you have to run 2 miles, eat a quart of ice cream and run back 2 miles. They also have an event somewhere that involves eating pepperoni knots and bacon or something like that.

A QUART!!!! That would not be pretty.

Hm. Well, would the ice cream have to be solid?

Ann-Marie, I must say I was thinking of you at my father's funeral, comfy in my flipflops.

Hope you were in a suit too!

I could do icecream. Perhaps better than I could do beer. 

You will love Milwaukee.  We will get frozen custard.  It will be glorious.

Yes, my boss informs me Kopps is the place to go?

Yep.  That's my favorite.

I thought life was like a box of chocolates . JK.Chris always gives good advice , listen to him.
