skrtrnr - 2009-11-18 1:51 PM funny thing is.

these men.

completely opposite of the kind of man i married.

my DH (love him to pieces) is as straight laced, even keeled as they come and UBER predictable.

I've heard this before...

You date the fun/wild guys, you marry the stable/safe ones.

skrtrnr - 2009-11-18 1:48 PM SEXIEST MAN ALIVE. 2009

dont have to tell me twice.

He's on my list. Generally you have to be over 6' tall for me, I have another requirement as well but we won't go into that here. I made an exception for Mr. Depp, he's only 5'10".

I have a life size Capt Jack Sparrow cutout in my bedroom. It's from a Pirates of the Caribbean party we had for my nephew 2ish years ago. Yes, it does freak my husband and son out.

i love that. life sized Capt Jack. in your bedroom no less.

i think Capt Jack is by far one of the MOST interesting characters brought to life on film.

and i think Depp is a brilliant actor.

what the man does to completely embody a character....absolutely stunning.

i *heart* my DH.

and admittedly take him for granted.

he is just soooo dependable.

i know for absolute certain if it wasnt for his temperment being so flexible and accomodating, i would be able to do 3/4 of the stuff i do, training-wise.

theres never an issue w him, when i have to go out for a long run, or a ride that takes 1/2 the day.

THOUGH, i have to say, i do my best to schedule things in such a way that it has the LEAST AMOUNT OF IMPACT on my family life.

when im here. im here.

i set up my racing schedule so that my season is essentially 'over' by the time the kids are done w school for the summer, and then i schedule some fall races for when they go back.

that way im not training long/hard in the summer months when i would have to go out a lot in the evenings, and be away from home.

in fact i was shuffling some things around on my race schedule, so that we can go on a Century ride to celebrate our 20th Anniversary. we dont often get to ride together, cuz he's home while im out on my bike, or im home while he's out. we switch off like that.

100 miles is a lot of time to spend together riding. soooo looking forward to that time together.

i love me my dependable guy, that's for damn sure.

hiya NEAL.

im heading to the doctor later on today.

do you think it will take long before your able to see yours?

stacieb

I can't get in till next Tuesday. Looks like more rest until then.

That really sucks Neal. Just do what you can to avoid running until then. At least swimming and biking don't hurt, right?

Swimming and biking feel great so at least I got that going for me. I'm a little concerned that the biking may be aggravating things even though it doesn't feel like. Hopefully the doc will answer that question.

does it feel muscular or something in the soft tissue, NEAL

or do you think it something structural, like your hips might be misaligned?

can you tell?

oh man, ANN. let me tell you scheduling that way is NOT easy.

and granted, i miss out on some the 'better' races, cuz the summer is really 'peak' TRI season round here (what w the season et al)

but it keeps everyone 'happy' including me which is important.

October 6 is our Anniversary.

the ride is scheduled on the 9th. isnt that just perfect?

whoop!

Evening Ghoulies. Been pretty busy with work the last few days, so not much posting. After I got back from Orlando I learned that one of the faculty from the congress was hit by a car and killed while running early Monday morning. I didn't know him personally, but still find myself very sad by this.

That's very sad Kim! If the occasion presents itself, please send my regards to his friends and family. My thoughts and prayers will be with them.

skrtrnr - 2009-11-18 8:30 AM 7 mile run 'on tap'

i was thinking about doing the annual RUN THE LIGHTS tonight for my run - theres this HUGE CHRISTMAS light display at an former estate which has been turned into a public park.

theres a winding paved road, and when its open to the public, you drive your car through - its 3.5 miles long and a GAZILLION lights.

before the display is open to the public, they open it up to runners and walkers. its not a race, no official start time, no bib numbers, timing chips....

i thought it would be uber cool to go and do my 7 miles there (two loops)

but i have my Chic Lit book club tonight, again, i could go and get it in. they open it at 5:30....but i wouldnt have time to go home and shower. ewwwwwwww!

so its the streets of Cranberry for me instead.

booooring.
stacieb

Stacie - I believe you are too obsessed with the whole taking a shower thing. Take a bottle of water with you, splash some on the sweaty parts, dump on some perfume and go. No one will notice, really.

I usually go with a package of baby wipes, and then the change of clothes and splash or perfume. But I have to admit that I have postponed my runs recently for the same reason.

oh KIM> how dreadfully awful.

makes me very sad as well.

he's a runner, doing what he loves (and what we love) to do, so there is a personal connection there.

when the 'unthinkable' happens (though we all think about the possibilty dont we?) its deeply unsettling and tragic.

my thoughts are w his family, friends and co-workers.

when im home or w/ my family i can forgo a shower....but going out in public or when i know im gonna be sitting next to someone for any length of time ie a book club then....well.....id rather not stink.

at least i dont 'have to' take a shower BEFORE a run/ride. i used to wake up early to take a shower like before my 5:45 AM endurance spin on Saturdays, and then i realized, what a RIDICULOUS thing to do, cuz were talking 4:15, so that i could eat and shower.

now i just eat, get my cycling clothes on and im off.
