Bike it to the MAX in June Ghoulies!!! (Page 38)

Another boring day in the ghetto.

I did find out though that a friend of mine is coming to work here for my company. He will be in a different building though.

He will be working for my company, and I gave them his resume, I'm hoping I get a recruiting bonus.

How are things there?

It's Monday. My phone has been going off the hook, and I'm just kinda twitchy. I think I'm going to go for a quick mental-health run. I'll check back in a little bit!

disturbed275 - 2010-06-12 4:25 PM Good evening Ghoulies! I hope everyone had a fantastic Saturday.

The race went fantastic today!  I set a huge PR and met my goal of running a sub-5hr HIM.  Final time was 4:51:08, ten minutes faster than last year!

Celebrating with margaritas tonight   I'll be asleep within the hour

ironannekidd - 2010-06-13 11:49 AM I channeled my inner Ghoulie this morning and took a little bit of Bill, Melindy, and Neal with me and did a 40 mile ride. I thought about making the trip a few miles longer but I figured that those 3 were pretty tired already and I didn't want to strain them too much.

I'd like to do a little longer loop next weekend, so if you guys are up to it I'd appreciate taking you along again.

I did have a few hiccups along the way. About 16 miles in I had a bug go down my shirt, jealous guys?

I slowed down to get it out and unclipped left but tipped over to the right. Fortunately I landed in weeds and mud, I could have landed in much worse. Then around mile 30 something I popped the chain. Other than that I was pretty happy with how things went.

I've showered, got the compression socks and tights on now, an ice pack on my thigh where I landed, and I've got some chicken on the grill. I will be napping shortly.

Jules, I was going to call you, but I wanted to be out of the house before 9 and with that 3 hour time difference I didn't know if you'd be up that early. Do you have any plans for next Saturday? I'd love to have some company on a long ride.

ironannekidd - 2010-06-14 6:56 AM What's on tap for today everyone!

I think I'm going to get yogafied this evening.

Marathon training starts tomorrow! (do you hear that Kim?)

After yesterday's bike ride I'm taking it easy today.

disturbed275 - 2010-06-14 10:17 AM I was hoping my work mojo would return today.  Nope.  It's gonna be loooong Monday

Go back to bed. You obviously need more rest. I can write a note for whoever you report to in the lab.

My work mojo is not at a high point but I'm willing to share. 

mndymond - 2010-06-14 7:34 PM Hey dudes.

Extremely frustrating day in the lab...rat just didn't want to cooperate...stopped breathing numerous times during surgery, during recording...basically 5hrs later and no data...we had to euthanize him by the end.

ugh.

Debating if I want to go run after supper...we all know I probably will...only 5km...Just need to get some of my inner frustrations out...we'll see how it goes.

kcarroll - 2010-06-14 6:42 PM

Sorry about that..... for you and the rat.  Have a good run.  It's a good way to take care of those frustrations although I could think of a better way if that hawt resident was still around. 

mndymond - 2010-06-14 8:43 PM

Hawt resident :'(

kcarroll - 2010-06-14 6:53 PM

Ok, a run it is then.  Maybe an ice-cream or brownie post?
