Ghoulie September Core Challenge (Page 43)

ironannekidd - 2010-09-19 12:47 PM Dear makers of Gu,

I love your product. I'm a big fan. I really do believe it helps my performance. You need to do something about the product design though. When you are 15 miles into a 20 mile run you are tired, hot, and sweaty. It is difficult to open those little slippery packets. I tried and tried but I just couldn't get it open. I eventually had to throw it on the ground and stomp on it to get it open. Not only did this really slow down my split for that mile, I now have road rash on my tongue from licking the Gu off of the ground after I finally got the packet open. Please speak with your enginners and consider making the packets out of sandpaper, or having a zipper on them, or maybe a button you push to open them.

P.S. I really hope the bug I licked off of the ground wasn't from your product.

So you should be rested up to give massages today.

Rested, ready, and willing

wgraves7582 - 2010-09-20 7:48 AM So Friday I was driving to the Y for a swimmy swim and I pull onto our highway out of downtown and my car just stops running.

I laugh, pull over, call our mechanic, call his tow guy, he tells me he can't tow on the thruway so I push it/roll it back off the highway down the on-ramp, wife picks me up, car is taken away, and $275.00 I have a new timing belt!

Life is always interesting!!

That does not sound like a good time at all!

I just laughed.  I asked the DW if it was a problem that I lose my temper with my kids for being dumb and I just laugh at the car when it breaks down?

The best part was Friday morning I looked at the odometer and thought wow that is a lot of miles and I have never been in a car that broke down on the road.  I have always been able to drive it home or to mechanics.

Then Bam!!!!  Guess I was prepared!
