Oh I get a question of the day:

Favorite Ice Cream Flavor peeps?

don't have just one:  chocolate mint  OR rocky road OR mocha  

You had me until Mocha Dee

no on mocha???? thats just wronnnnnnnnng!

I know but I don't even drink coffee.  Don't tell anyone though

I start my day off with about 40oz of water before I have caffeine (Pepsi) around lunch time or later depending on how tired I am

I wish I could go without coffee...sure after seeing the bottom of my cup with all those black fine grinds...what does my stomach look like??????? plus when I was being admitted to the cancer hospital...that was the question for them for the day! I must have been asked over and over and over and OVER again by each specialists/nurse/oncologists/receptionists...do you drink coffee? and here is where it gets bad for you Bill..they also asked about soda?? do you drink soda? how much? what kind....I guess they were trying to see if there is any relationship between cancer and coffee/sodas.

I dont drink sodas....well, very often...but love my coffee and the deeper and darker it is...the better!

red? white? or rose?

Last night was a red, although I like white too.

well you can come and open and consume any and all whites I have...never really liked chardonays or sauvignon blancs....not really a merlot person either...Cabs only! mmmmmmmmmmmm~ and havent found too many cabs that I dont like!

BTW, I like cabs as well.    Will be taking one with me tonight for dinner.  NJ has lots of BYOB restaurants....nice.  Liqour licenses are expensive, limited in availability and purportedly controlled by the mob.  Better wine with dinner at half the price.  Thank you Tony!

haha...so what cab you bringing? one of my most recent favorites is called GNARLY and it is really good!

btw...we can bring our own too...and they only charge a corkage fee...usually only $10-$20...I think once it happend to be more then the bottle cost...we totally had fun with that one!

well that sux for you! I was the one who would be yelling OOUUUUCH..or screaming with pain...the director of the school would just laugh at me! was great getting paid to mess with our future EMTs...I used to always tell them that if I am ever in an accident and coherent..that I will ask what school they went to and if it was ours..I would ask for the next ambulance to come.

the funny thing is...they thought I was kidding!!!

DANGER...DANGER....DANGER!!! leave your wallet in the car if you know what is good for you! haha too easy to drop some big bucks there!!!

stacie...dont have time today..but I will step you thru it next week...easy stuff...will show you how to inspire with a picture, too! soon you will be one photo posting ~ half marathon finishing..mama!

back from my RUN FROM HELL!

honest to pete.  though.  its been awhile since ive had an ugly run.  theres always at least a few.

today was the day.

bugger.  but my 5 miler is in the books.

and IM ABOVE THE YELLOW LINE NOW...

77.7%

alls sevens.  some sign there.

i have to say.  since the run was going so EXCEPTIONALLY WELL (dripping w sarcasm) i did consider the fact that i already did an .8 and why not just cut my EXCEPTIONALLY WONDERFUL (dripping w even MORE sarcasm) run short, 

but.....

then i kept thinking of all of you, and the EXTRA EFFORT you all have/are putting into your workouts this week, and how my inadvertent .8 mistake inspired the TEAM to do. just.  a little. bit. extra.

 i thought, THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL im gonna end this run on a short note...i rallyed, putting forth just a little xtra effort and finished the entire FIVE.

thanks for INSPIRING ME to do just a little bit more today!

Sorry to hear that today's run was tough.  Way to dig deep and push to keep going.  And look, you got rewarded with lucky 7s!!  There's some good runs in your future.  I can a feeeeeeel it!!!

i dont care if my four remaining runs are UGLY as all get out (well.  i do but....) just as long as the November 1st run is a good one.

NEAL, can you hook a girl up? 

an UBER GOOD run on NOVEMBER 1ST, pwease, oh pweeeeeease.

stacieb

you sound just like I did before mine! you will soooooooo do fine, Stacie! dont you worry your pretty little face!

oh JULES.

you made me cry.  seriously.

im not gonna worry my pretty little face.

nope.

not no more....

ive been UBER bi-polar about this race.  i went into w some reasonably high-expectations of myself.

ive been doing well in my training.

my paces have been right on the cusp.

but.....still......

coming to the end of a FULL season and my first tri season to boot, im just worn to the nub, physcially, mentally, ever which way-lly

the timing is just not right.

these arent prime conditions to be setting an impressive PB.

ill do fine.  ill finish the race well.

my easy pace going into the race, was what my race pace was last years 1/2, so im sure to PB. 

but, im almost sure a sub 2 is off the table.  i was so close too.

im getting to the point now where im OK w that.

it is what is.

and theres always next year...or the year after that...or.....

my mantra is:

challenge my limits
be respectful of my limitations.

this is one race where being respectful trumps challenging myself.

im just at a 'low' point.

nodoubt,  im gonna run w heart. 

im gonna run w my ALL my peeps - im SO fortunate to have in my life.

i BEGGED and PLEADED the Universe for a CIRCLE i could be a part of...and ive got three - my OHio (Tribe) friends, my PITTSBURGH TRI CLUB friends and my YMCA friends.


oh wait, its four - BT and the BEST GHOULIE VILLAGE A GIRL COULD EVER WANT. 


i am uber, uber blessed.

id say i ALREADY GOT MY PB and EVEN THOUGH I HAVENT RUN A SINGLE MILE! 
stacieb

I remember the week before mine I was supposed to be tapering...but I FREAKED out and went and ran the longest distance I had to date....was super slow...but I just wanted to make sure I could run it without walking...dont do silly moves like this!!! trust in the training and Hals Higdons plan. Have a nice tapering weekend! what are your plans...or did I miss them in the past postings???
