#57 - I Need a Drink - Gin and TANic (Page 58)

damn .. my wife quit cooking for me when i started my nutrition plan :D.... although she does go buy everything at the grocery store for me

I find just training for regular triathlons (not IM distance) is a pretty big drain on a social life. Even following the training plan for the Oly here on BT, it had many days of double work-outs. And when you live in a place where you have to drive somewhere else to run or bike, it eats up time. I have to say no to a lot of things. Esp. when I've already got a weeknight or two eaten up by other things I do, like choir. I feel that in the spring, choir and bible study are going to be missed on occasion to get in training.

nope.....

White bread, sugar, processed American cheese slices, .... Yeah, my wife is sooooo health conscious.  She hates me more and more, I think.

Yikes - well, fortunately, I don't let it get in the way of my job. But yeah, part of the reason why I've been single for the past 2 years (or at least the last year and a half of those 2 years) is because of triathlons. You spend your time alone, so you don't meet people.  

mines not that bad... she actually buys the healthy stop for me... only thing she does is buy the junk food i like.... told her to stop doing that.. .if its not at the house i don't eat it..... makes it easier if its not available.... :D

It's not you. It's triathlons. Hey, whatever you have to tell yourself to make it through the day.

I just meant that if one spends their time alone, then they won't meet new folks. Can't date if you don't meet people.

So, my wife says the other day that she's sick, but then wants pizza, so she says she's NOT sick (because I want to stay away from sick people).  I believed her, now she says she is sick again.

PLUS, a coworker is sick....

I woke up last night, and felt a scratchy throat and sinus congestion.  But it may have been in my head because I feel ok today.

I guess I have to admit, I was pretty pissed last night...  I put in 5 months of my life to train for this race, and the wife gets sick and has NO issue to want to make out and possibly get me sick.  Her solution was "it's ok to make out with me if you take and airborn".  I sort of think it's selfish...  Hopefully, I DON'T get sick, and it's a none issue.  But if I do, and it hurts or cancels my race.  We could have some issues to workout at home.  About respect and consideration.

I know she wants affection and pizza, but to jeapordize my race?  (and it's just not ANY race)  I have had a hard time working this out in my head the last 24 hours....  It hurts...

That's mean on her part.  My husband was sick the week before my marathon and I wouldn't kiss him or anything.  He understood.

An airborne really isn't going to help that much.  It's not an anti-viral drug, so you can easily still get sick.

I know it's mean.  That's why it hurts so much.  If it were her big deal, I would stay away from her as to not jeapordize anything.

I know, airborne is just a bunch of vitamins in a alka seltzer.  It does nothing....

What will that do?
