I blew it.

I had a horrible race. 4:40.

I can't race in temperatures below 50 degrees. I was wheezing and coughing at the finish line, I was wheezing after I took my shower and even when I was trying to take a mid-afternoon nap, I was wheezing and couldn't catch a deep breath.

Woke up 3 hours later, I could breathe mostly without wheezing, and after some pizza out I was better. But I had a horrible race and it was disappointing given how much time I put in getting ready for this one.

Next one - I'm picking a warmer weather race - maybe the Cowtown in the first Saturday in October.

Bethie love! We had a grand time at mile 4 today. You are an excellent runner

Oooooh ... you have no idea how smokin' hot ... even the front desk guy, who is this flaming gay perfectly dressed chiseled boy, had his jaw drop when they walked in (and after checkout after they went upstairs, the gay guy and I were like OMG did you SEE THAT) ...

What's even worse is, they went to the pub, had forgotten their passports for ID, walked back here to get them, CAME BACK DOWN HERE to the computer room to find me to see if maybe I didn't feel better and would like to go now

Beth! remember the swim challenge you and Dee were gonna have... what do you think of this:

The Pat and Cat swim challenge
Resulting from a bit of smack talk that has happened there is a one on one side challenge happening between Pat (Bajapat) and Me (uh oh)

The goal is simple: To outswim the other competitor.
To make it fair with the time difference neither swimmer will post any swims take on December 31 until January 1 USA time to ensure that neither competitor can play ‘catch up’ in the final moments.

All distances will be converted to yards/metres for ease of comparison…
Pats swim goal: 40,000 yards which is just under 37,000 metres (crap Im in trouble)

Finally… the penalty: Sig line change “I got whipped by X in the December Swim Challenge so this month I am his/her slave”

enders_shadow - 2007-12-03 5:48 AM No matter what you say, I'm still not going to feel bad for you, Spokes... You're not a crappy runner, you just had a bad day. And you did accomplish something pretty cool...even if it wasn't as fast as you wanted. Maybe, on a few days reflection, you won't be so ticked off - In the meantime, the Nibs will be proud for you.
