Mad Manatee Mentors, Part 2! CLOSED (Page 74)

I'm doing a 5k bright and early this freezy Sunday morning.  I'm shooting for a PR on this one.  It'll also act as a baseline for 5ks for the rest of the year.

Which thing makes me wonder if I really want to play soccer this Saturday night....

And the occasional SAHM   You're welcome. lol

I'm taking it easy this weekend.  DH is off to a bachelor party in DC playing crazy nerdy board games, so I'll be hanging out with little Miss E.  Also, my foot tattoo got finished today!  Check it out. I'm totally in love with it.

I am really impressed with the diverse group that we have in the pod. Everything including Vet techs, zookeepers, truck driving salesmen, professors, law enforcement, IT, designers, armed forces and health care, yep we are quite a cross section of the world. I love that we have people from all walks of life and all parts of the world. I'll probably be throwing out some more non-training types of questions over the next few weeks. For me, life is about the relationships that we develop as we go along, and this is just one more opportunity for me to meet people, embrace the differences and grow as a human. So, I thank you all for indulging me.

"Don't let the scars in life define you, they are there to help you develop." Have a great day everyone!

BTW, I have my Yanti watching set for Friday. I will be taking a late lunch to see the start. I haven't been able to find it streaming anywhere yet, but I'm gonna hunt for it tonight when I get home. If it isn't streaming, I'll be stalking watching her bib # and seeing where she is on the course.

And the occasional SAHM   You're welcome. lol

I am sorry! I thought of the people I would be leaving out when I wrote it up and I was thinking, "Man, I don't wanna step on anyone's toes, I hope I remember them all." Sure enough, I leave someone (probably more then one) out. OUCH!!!

BTW, your current job is the most important one I can think of. If being a mom was easy, they'd call it triathlon

Leave out? I'm hardly left out. The pod takes good care of this mommy Totally giving you a bad time! Thank you for taking the time to learn about us.

You're welcome. More questions to follow...

BTW, how goes the prep for your HM in March?

I love how it turned out! The colors, even on screen, are shimmery.

My son is #6. From the Frostbite 5k we did  on February 18

ETA: Well, I tried to link a picture here, but it's not working. I uploaded pictures on to my Frostebite 5k race report. I mostly wanted to brag about my son. He ran with his friend and the photographer took their picture three times. Hooray!!! My son is #6.

There's also a couple pictures of me. I tried waving this time, and then she also got a belly shot of me at the beginning next to a really cute little boy.

Oh we have quite a few half marathons coming up then!  It's my first, any tips?  My current longest distance is only 9 miles but I figure I will get a 10-11 miler in there somewhere before the race.  Right now I'm just trying to blow this crap out of my lungs.

Great tattoo Jen, that turquoise really does have a sort of shimmer to it.

Most importantly, remember that we do this for FUN! Enjoy your race, everything else is details.
