Master 3870  | Subject: RE: Mad Manatee Mentors, Part 2! CLOSED Finally, I get to say this! Signed up for 1/2 in two weeks. Eeeek! Was going insane with putting off the races because of sick kids and bad toe. I needed a goal to get me refocused. Now it won't be "racing" because I'm nowhere near competitive, but I will be running MY best |

AAAAAAAAAAAAARGH Good thing you are bringing hand warmers! I wish I could stuff my wetsuit with personal piglets. Sadly, at a projected 19C at race start, the water will be .2 degrees too warm for IMNZ to allow neoprene booties. I might just have to slather my feet and hands with lanolin. Catching up with the morning chatter, and this just made me giggle. |

I will be working very hard to get this expunction expedited...(hahaha) Man, your potential new employer is tough! My agency does not automatically disqualify someone for a misdemeanor, we take into consideration the type of misdemeanor and when it happened. Good luck with the expunction; I hope everything works out in the next round of hiring. |

Having a race to works towards always helps get me out the door for training otherwise it's too easy to sleep in. |

What career is this for Skrat? That is correct... Thanks for answering.. I missed the question.. Must have been buried in 5 pages of Yanti, Salty, Jo (henceforth known as YaltyJo (pronouned Y'all Tee Joe)) talk. I think from now on, the hours of roughly 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time are officially YaltyJo time! |

Master 6595 Rio Rancho, NM | Subject: RE: Mad Manatee Mentors, Part 2! CLOSED So today I couldn't get my swim done early but I figured I'd be done at work early enough to go to the gym and knock out a swim/run combo. Everything was going smoothly until I was almost home and my boss text me that he left his notebook in my car. So I figure I'll go home and grab my gym stuff then drop off his folder and go to the gym near the Albuquerque office. Again, the plan was running smoothly until I get in to the locker room and realize I've brought everything but my swim suit. Now, mind you, I missed my swim on Friday because the pool closed and didn't fit it in this weekend, in spite of my best efforts. So I said to my self "Self?", I said "yes?", I said "what would the Manatees do". Well of course skinny dipping was out of the question It worked pretty well, if you don't mind the feeling of wearing a parachute while you swim. Also, those shorts don't have a draw string so there were no pushes off the wall, just slow steady increases in speed. I knocked out my 2400 meters and went on about my day. I don't know if the cacoon men were staring at me as I walked to the locker room because of the wet clinging shorts or if that's just what they do. |
so I started to get dressed to hit the dreadmill. I got my running shorts and sport bra on and thought, hey, wait, could I swim in this? So I thought about it for a few seconds, black shorts (the kind with the liner) and a black sport bra. Why not? So I grabbed my pool stuff and headed out there.
Of course then my run was out because my running clothes were drenched but I thought you all would be proud of me for making the swim work.| 2013-02-25 7:38 PM in reply to: #4636869 |
