ilucy2 - 2009-10-04 6:23 PM Hi there team...!!! I think I left you guys at 43 pages, you have all done WELL!! I did a little run yesterday, further than the plan called for, but less than I was actually set out to do. They have had a nasty couger hanging in the area, some hungry bears, and two wolves. It was either take a loop where there were some houses, or have my gma follow me with a car. Yeah, that is what I want, my own personal overweight running critic!


Nice run!  Glad you didn't become some wild animal's dinner!
Thanks! And to think I actually compared criminals to wild animals. I stated I wanted animals to criminals.....ummm excuse me could you pass me the salt, I am about ready to eat my words.

no need to do that Lucy....remember that some animals are like a pussycat compared to some of those hardened criminals...so, Im not so sure we should pass that salt...yet!!! run safe...do you have somewhere that is heavily travelled with others...so you are not the prime appetizer for these animals???

i'm sorry GHOULIES.

i cant come out and play today.

i have a spare room that needs a-tending to.  ya know. the xtra room where you stash all your xtra stuff until you find that all the xtra stuff is just everywhere, haphazardly filling the space.

ive decided, i cant put it off any longer, i need to bring order to the chaos.  and today (and tomorrow and quite possibly wednesday) is the day that im gonna face the beast!

but.....

i wanted to report in.

it was an AQUATHON-Y sorta day today.

2.5 mile run followed by a 1400 yd swim followed by a 2.1 mile run.

RUN HAPPY!  i sure did!

and here i thought running/cycling trying to avoid getting struck by the Suburban women haphazardly driving their SUVs while talking on their cell phones was precarious.

cougars, bears and wolves.  are you frigging kidding me?

you've got me beat.  handsdown.

i guess they dont make a can of mace big enough to ward off any of those animals, huh?

RUN SAFE.
stacieb
At least you can try to dodge the cars, or spray the dogs, but the cougar likes to stalk and sneak up on you. For the cat, I was told to never run from them...so what do you do when you are already runnnning! The bear, I was told to carry a bell, or anything to make noise. I figured my ragged, panting breath would do. For the wolves....I was simply told I was sh**$#$ out of luck! As much as I love the country...I sure love the city!

how about a running partner? or treadmill...and I HATE THE DREADMILL! but not as much as becoming dinner for a hungry cat, bear or wolf!

zachkoe - 2009-10-04 7:17 PM Cougars and bears? crap, that provides a real challenge, I thought I had a lot to deal with with the angry gophers attacking me when I run through the golf course!

what....they send the course marshalls after us when I run near my parents house...that backs up to a golf course...It was closed for repairs for almost a year...and I loved running out there...now they are open again...and stupid course marshall cant find anyone else to harass...then lil ol me running on the outter cart trails....guess I have to go run in the streets! my parents live in a very nice neighborhood...BIG HOMES...but NOOOOOO SIDEWALKS! and then they wonder why noone is out exercising?! things that make you go hmmmmmmmmmmm~!

That's my normal time to get up. I get up early so I can get my workday over with early, so I can go home and do the things I actually WANT to do. I usually go to bed around 9 or so, not long after the kiddos go to bed. I don't mind it, at least for now. Going to work early will allow me to get home and get a run in before it gets dark this winter, that's a definite PLUS.

thanks Kim! I was soooooooo nervous!

I must have gone to the portapotty at least three times before the race....in a 15 min time span! thank goodness they had LOTS of them! along the run I had to stop three times...dang were there some long lines too! there was one guy who had his garage door opena nd was allowing runners to use the garage bathroom....what a nice guy!

there were people passing out doughnut holes, BACON???!!?? , cookies, mimosas, one home had a keg of beer....plus there were the homes that had the kids set up in the street curb with thier drum sets/keyboards and guitars playing music (not really but goin thru the motions)...there was one home that had a big screen (must have been at least a 72" cuz it was monster size...he had a camera at the finish line....was fun to see the people finishing...but of course we were just wanting to be next to them then~~~

there was one bummer situation...a young girl (20's) on the side of the road...she was less then a mile from the finish...and they were doing cpr on her! 6 medics working frantically on her!!! very sad to think of the family waiting on her....and not having any idea that she was in such grave danger!!!!

thats nice that you can do that...so many peeps have times set in stone as far as thier hours go for work....I love being my own boss! sure makes it easy to take time off and to shuffle the work schedule about....the only pitfall is...sometimes you just want to take off...but that wont put food on the table or roof over head??? durn it!!!

Then it is off to church!

*Thanking the ONE who allows me to do this TOPpage*



I should go to church, but after I had a weird experience at the church near my house I have not been (except for when I am visiting my parents and at the church I grew up in) in two to three years or so...I just thought it was odd that on Easter (this was a couple of years ago) the whole sermon was about how President Bush was evil...now I am a democrat and I was not a big Bush fan, but I don't think EASTER (or church at all) is the place to be discussing this...So now I go for a run and pray on Sunday mornings...its kind of my own church.

Sorry about your experience but way to go for making your own place! I think that is truly what God is about..not some building with people saying you must do it "my" way.

*independent TOPpage*

can you tell my mom that!? PPPPLEEEEEEEEEEEASE!


ha! I still can't figure out how to make my IL's understand! I highly doubt it would work for your mom! Although I will say I just don't listen to them if they bring it up....agree to disagree!

Wow - we have a guest speaker this weekend and he was talking about how obedience can lead to legalism and sounds like that is at work here!

I wore a bike jersey to church last week (Team Astana that I won through Trek during the TdF) and some people were so Bill do you think that is appropriate.  I basically said that if I get to Heaven and God calls me out for how I dressed at church I will be good with that because it is not about our clothes (or where we worship Him, or many other things) people, it is about our relationship with Him.

They didn't really like that response

THATS PITIFUL! dont get me started!!!! why do people think they are holier then thou...and can make those judgements....I think that if you go to church...no matter what it is you are wearing...and you pray rather then look around you and see the bad in others...you will go much further then those who criticize and look for the bad rather then good in others!!! durn hipocrits!

Nah - you can give me a quick briefing of it all if you want   I think I have read it all anyways.  I scanned some and they looked familiar.

I can see 3 or 4 new threads for us by the time we are done.  We are a chatty team!  And just think Neal is recovering from an awesome mary or we would be even further along!

I know...it is hard...do I run...or do I read???? well today read...tomorrow run!

The Atlanta 2-Day walk for Breast cancer was this weekend and I spend 8+ hours on the bicycle on Saturday and then 4+ hours on Sunday.  Drove home and then played a 3 set tennis match.  I then ate like a little piggie last night.

No running all weekend, but will try to get one in tonight.
