Mad Manatee Mentors 2013: CLOSED (exc/ Pop Tart bribes) (Page 304)

OK, new boy names I'm tossing around...and, yes, they might make you laugh.

-Dirty Harry ("Go ahead...")

-Geronimo (who doesn't want to yell that while careening down a trail?)

-Lobo (strong, stealthy)

I have decided to drop from the Intermediate 1 plan (5 days running a week) to Novice 2 (4 days running a week).  If this doesn't help I will have to switch to the half marathon.  I am completely exhausted both physically and mentally.

My massage tonight was FANTASTIC.  This 5' nothing little Chinese girl has magic hands and THE TOUCH.  My legs feel a lot better after the massage.  Booked another for my next drop back week.

I don't often get all parental on you, but here it comes. You have time to run your fool azz off for hours on end. You have time to spend with your family and friends that you love.  Make a little time to take care of yourself.  Ask your friends, talk to people in line at races, you'll be surprised what you find.  I found out our current doc is a runner when I ran into him at the Y on the tready. You never know, it may not be that hard to find one, but if you don't ask...

Selfishly, I'd like you to be around for a good long time!

I hope the change of plans with help you find your love of running again Judi  

I'm trying not to be too jealous of your massage, but too late.  I'm JEALOUS!! 

Our friend that recently passed away has a fundraiser pub crawl every year. And despite her passing, we are continuing the tradition. My friend Fio and my partner Jen are graciously printing all the shirts. Anyone ever see what it looks like to print 1000 shirts by hand?

It's quite impressive. They were working very hard. Of course, I was only delegated the minor tasks so I just took lots of pictures 

It's one of those blecky, rainy days out... the kind that make you just want to curl up on the couch with a good book or watch a movie or something.

Motivation to go run is seriously waning at the moment...

Yanti,

I can't find your original post for virtual pacers.  I will be your virtual pacer wherever you want.  We can hold each other up cause my half marathon is that weekend.  Put me for as many miles as you want too.

I have decided to drop from the Intermediate 1 plan (5 days running a week) to Novice 2 (4 days running a week).  If this doesn't help I will have to switch to the half marathon.  I am completely exhausted both physically and mentally.

This is supposed to be FUN, not drudgery!  Change the plan and give it a whirl.  Or change the the half and do Myrtle Beach or Shamrock full in the spring.  Or change to the half and do MB or Shamrock half in the spring!
