Master  6595     Rio Rancho, NM |  Subject: RE: Manatee Mentors 2016 - ClosedOriginally posted by Atlantia Quick pre-blizzard drive by. We're ready for the snow, pantry is stocked, cars are gassed up. We usually lose power during thunderstorms, so we're expecting to lose power with this one, and are as prepared as we can hope to be. If I disappear from BT for awhile due to power outages, find me on Instagram, as my phone has a decent battery and my dog loves to pose! It seems a bit shallow to say this, since so many of us deal with such intense life issues. But I need to get it off my chest: I am struggling very hard with a bout of depression right now. The last day has been extremely challenging. I say this not because I need anything in particular from the Pod, but because I think too often those of us who struggle with this keep it hidden and put on the happy face. That is not the right thing to do. I wish I had the courage to say something like this to my IRL friends, but saying it to the Pod is a first step. Love you guys!!! Depression is not a shallow issue!!!! I wish more people had the courage to speak up when they are hurting. I know we are just your invisible friends but know that we care about you and will be thinking of you and praying for you. {{HUGS}} Enjoy the blizzard, stay safe. My DS2 is also in it's path. What is your IG name? |

I thought Maria said something about going away. Yanti you still doing Busso Oly next weekend? Originally posted by StaceyK Head-and-eye-problems Mary is HappyStoned in Colorado ... Chicago Mary is Maria ... but I think she did have a run last Friday. (I barely know what day it is today these days) I heard from Maria on the 13th, has she posted here since then? Will PM. Originally posted by jmkizer I haven't heard from her for a week or so. She was still entering runs in her log up until last Friday so I just figured her eyes were causing her problems again. But there has been nothing in her log all week. Maybe they are away. Has anyone heard from Mary in Chicago? She's been MIA for a while and I'm getting concerned. Chicago is Mary G or Marysia. Maria is Maria527. Can't remember where she is. (Cleveland, he's from Detroit. Tex, don't 'member where Tex is from). Right, we have Mary S in Colorado, Mary G in Chicago and Maria in Fayetteville, NC. Mary in Chicago is the one that I was asking about in particular but we'd love to hear from any of the three, really :-D |

Laura - {{hugs}} ...and what TJ said Back in the day one of the Manatees (Jojo? Jo?) used to let us know how she was doing emotionally by using the smiley (or frowny) faces. She would use several smileys on a great day and only one, or a frown on a bad day. We care. |

I hope that Robin makes it to Atlanta and that Randee make it to Miami OK. Hands, feel better! RUN MANATEES, RUN!!!! I am so sorry for not showing up for a while, but I got super-dooper busy at work and had some personal stuff going on as well. Everything is completely fine, it was just too many things and not enough time.... But I was thinking about you and actually felt bad/guilty for not saying at least hi to you. Sorry! I will respond to all inspires, I promise! I am not doing a race tomorrow :/ so you can take me out of the list. I over-trained/kind of injured something silly in my hamstring two weeks ago and decided to have a break from running for a moment. Also, with all the crazyness at work I had no time for training anyway. One achievement I want to share is that I did yoga class today! I only tried yoga twice in my life long, long time ago and I hated it... I realized I need it, because I don't stretch enough and i need the benefits yoga offers. I really liked what we did today. It also showed me how much tension I had in absolutely every single muscle in my body.. So just another motivator. Also, I am applying to school and hoping to be back to my educational adventure  cross your fingers! I promise I read at least couple of pages, to be somehow current. Once again, thank you for your thoughts and support and I'm sorry for the hiatus! Mary |

I hope that Robin makes it to Atlanta and that Randee make it to Miami OK. Hands, feel better! Steve so glad that you made it through surgery I hope the news from the surgeon is good and that you have a speedy recovery. I had hoped to be able to say that you could take me of the DL yesterday. My back had been going really well and I thought I would be good to at least start light training this coming week. Then yesterday morning I swept the floor and mucked it up again. I'm getting really, really frustrated with it because it's simple things that are causing me issues. It's not like I went out a ran 5k! Thankfully I had an appointment with steamroller Jill already booked for last night and she got me sorted. I also didn't do it so bad that I am back to square one. She very clearly said (in front of Phil) "no house work. Do as you're told or keep paying me to fix you, your choice I don't mind either way." I told her "Looks like I need to budget to visit you weekly cause I ain't sitting on my butt doing nothing for the rest of my life." Feeling pretty good today so we'll see. |

Depression is an intense life issue for those of us who suffer. I really appreciate your honesty. Next Wednesday is Bell Let's Talk day here in the Great White North, and I tweet the heck out of it. It's time for all of us (including those of us who deal with it) to see it as a disease, not a weakness. In fact, I find great strength in talking about it, because others then feel that they can as well. So thank you for your strength and braveness [it's a word; I looked it up |

Master 8250 Eugene, Oregon Bronze member | Subject: RE: Manatee Mentors 2016 - Closed Steve--Best wishes for a speedy recovery! Yes, 12 hours of surgery definitely counts as an ultra. And in other ultra news--The "tri twins" have been born in Saigon (talk about an ultra) after 24+ hours of "event". These kids were quite possibly conceived by two of our sherpas/cheerleaders at/around IM Vietnam last May. Mom (a competitive open water swimmer when not pregnant) and babies doing great. Really wanted to get baby his'n'hers tri suits (does M-dot sell those? They seem to have everything else.) or at least those cute little baby Nikes, but shopping options are a bit limited here--had to settle for sleepers. Stacey--Maybe you could re-budget and get a housekeeper instead? Embarrassed to say I have one a few hours a week. It seems silly for one woman (well, plus two cats that shed as much as I sweat) and a three-bedroom apartment, but she's better at it than me, and those are two hours I can use for (previously) my coursework, or just a little precious downtime, that I don't get much of otherwise. Stay safe from the monster blizzard, East Coasters. Hope the weather service is over-estimating. Believe it or not, yesterday Vietnam's National Weather Service issued a warning for us.....that temps could drop "as low as 15-17 degrees in Ho Chi Minh City". That's about 59 to 65 degrees. Guess we should "take precautions" like turning off the AC and getting out a few long-sleeve shirts. I'll believe it when I see it. Urban legend has it that when the temps hit an all-time low of 57 (sometime during the war years) people froze to death. Sounds crazy but maybe possible if you add rain, lack of shelter, malnourished refugees, diseases like flu and TB to the mix. Still......hard to imagine 57 being a weather crisis.

My computer took a crap on me and didn't have it yesterday or today (took Monday off to spend with the kids). Bike weekend was epic!  ... Nice to see you here too, not only on Strava. Epic pics, thanks for sharing. Originally posted by Hot Runner Lol :-D I hope no one dies or anything, but still. :-D Originally posted by popsracer well, I still got two legs. 12 hour surgery.

You are on my mind a lot, I hope your recovery will go well! And it definitely counts as an Ultra! Well done! Originally posted by tcarlson78 Updated. I do a lot of exercise in my mind, the problem is that it does not get translated into actual movement. I am quite the opposite, I run around like an idiot until I realise, oh I should have logged that. :-D Originally posted by RookeyDavid QR CD0.1, Profile Design Aero Drink system, XLAB super wing, XLAB mini bag, XLAB Sonic Nut, 2 Cages, Profile Design ATTK gel storage, Aerobar Computer Attachment, Look KEO Classic pedals and some Profile Design Gel Tape (red) to go on this weekend... Cool ride. o.O I will need to buy a new bike next year (probably), maybe I'll get a tribike. ^_^ Originally posted by jmkizer Racing Manatees!!! January 23-24 Disabled List P.S. Mary G had a tentative race listed as well. I hope that Robin makes it to Atlanta and that Randee make it to Miami OK. Hands, feel better! Go Manatees! Enjoy your races! :-D DL: I wish you a speedy recovery! Originally posted by Atlantia It seems a bit shallow to say this, since so many of us deal with such intense life issues.

That is not the right thing to do. I wish I had the courage to say something like this to my IRL friends, but saying it to the Pod is a first step. Love you guys!!! Depression is a clinically accepted sickness/illness. It needs proper treatment and the first step to getting treatment is accepting the fact that you have it and tell it to others. I am glad you shared it with us. I hope you will enjoy your little solitude during the coming storm, resting and relaxing can be easier if the rest of the world is cut off, in your case literally. I stalked your instagram account (after you suggested to do so ) and I was surprised that you managed to cook that Jamie Olivier dish in just 30 mins. Making only the gratins would have taken me 30 mins (probably). Nice job and it really looks delicious! This reminds me, I have to eat something, I don't want to loose any more weight. :-D |
