Science Nerd  28760       Redwood City, California |  Subject: RE: Mad Manatee Mentors 2013: CLOSED (exc/ Pop Tart bribes)Originally posted by KansasMom Drive by to say I got first in my age group and took two minutes off my time. I am running out now, but later I will try to post a picture of my trophy, and you will understand why I wanted first. Two of the water crossings were above my waist, and one of those was chest deep. It was a blast. CONGRATULATIONS! ETA: I see why you wanted the trophy! Really cool. Edited by Artemis 2013-09-22 3:09 PM |

Science Nerd 28760 Redwood City, California | Subject: RE: Mad Manatee Mentors 2013: CLOSED (exc/ Pop Tart bribes) Originally posted by switch Just a little update to all of you who have been so kind with your inspires. I haven't dropped off the earth, I'm just not logging anything because I'm officially on the DL list. I don't know what's wrong, but my right ankle is a mess. I've got swelling into my foot and up through my calf, and just a ton of pressure. It sort of feels like if I could just crack it (you know, like a knuckle), it would be fine, but I can't seem to make that happen. Totally weird because it started when I had my mileage dialed waaaay back and I didn't do anything to it acutely. Totally confusing. I can't get into ortho until Wednesday, but I'm going to completely chill until then. Quite honestly, walking is difficult and it's waking me up at night. WTF? Dislike I hope it's nothing serious. |

Ugh, that sucks - but until you get some answers from the ortho, chilling is good... you should also have whiskey. Chilling with whiskey is better. |

Congrats! Sounds like everyone is having a good weekend so far! Its 430am here on the east coast USA and I can't sleep. I bought a new car yesterday and I'm combo excited and over thinking it hoping I'm doing the right thing lol. Long story short I put on a lot of miles in a year. My car has 96k and I got it December 2009! Its been very good to me but its about to need some maintenance - timing belt etc. And of course it didn't have the bells and whistles of dh car. So we went to the dealer and the price was right. Eek! OK I'm done  Enjoy the rest of your weekend runs, races and recoveries. Yeah, yeah, old car, lotsa miles, maintenance... but you failed to mention the most important thing... What did you get for a shiny new car??? (we don't have a car so I need to live vicariously through others who get the shiny new ones) It's a 2014 Subaru Outback. It's replacing my 2010 Subaru Outback - both the same color LOL - completely different interior though. NICE! I had to laugh that you got the same colour though - did you do that on purpose? |

I had to laugh that you got the same colour though - did you do that on purpose? Nope. I was open to any color except white and charcoal (dh has that color) and they only had 2 on the lot. The green one happened to be spec'd exactly as I wanted it. NO NAVIGATION thank you very much!  |

When we bought my car a few years ago I thought I would love the navigation cause I have a lousy sense of direction (seriously, I am better biking and running than behind the wheel of a car for directions) I hardly ever used it. However, as Ford sent us upgrades to the Sync system the navigation wasn't included. I use my phone for navigation and have no problem with that. |

THAT'S what I'm talking about Garmin and google maps have a much better handle on navigation right now than the car manufacturers. I've heard nightmare from some Honda owners too LOL and it costs a ridiculous amount and you can't even update it yourself. BOO YAAA Oh yeah, gettin excited. Or maybe I'm overtired. any race reports people? I need something to doooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo |

The boat had to urge me back to the pack. I think I swam at least an extra 2-300. Pretty funny stuff. I'd love to see it on video. lol DH and I had a good last morning together. Now getting started on RR. |

The green one happened to be spec'd exactly as I wanted it. NO NAVIGATION thank you very much! I would be so totally and completely lost if it wasn't for Google maps. I'm severely directionally challenged at the best of times and if I have to head somewhere I haven't been to before (or even if I have been there) you can generally find me standing with my phone turning in a circle trying to figure out which direction I'm even facing before walking in the wrong direction. |

I am not racing this weekend as my blog foretold...And obviously, I have neglected to hang out here much recently as well...double fail! Update: I've been working, sewing the Cheshire Cat, building a home for wayward frogs, cleaning, dealing with the parental stuff (they are much the same--whole lot of waiting, not much else...though Mom will start chemo on Monday, so we're all worried--nonetheless, we'll get through it!), and a bit of running in anticipation of my half marathon in 2.5 weeks...That's all; nothing toooooo out of the ordinary! You're going to be KittyCat soon instead of KatieFrog ... |
