It's 90°+ at 6:30 pm. The thought of treadmill made me cringe, so out for a run I go. It's just too early for this heat!!! Where was my spring?

Asalzwed - 2013-04-22 2:16 PM Hmmm. I have to retire some running shoes. A couple pair actually but notably my marathon flats. I don't like saving stupid crap but they ARE my first marathon shoes AND I wore them 4/15/2013 so I feel as though I should keep them. Any ideas?

Pictures. Then a shadow box commemorating the day, with your bib, your medal, pics of the shoes, pics of your family and friends, and any other stuff you want in there(the shoes could go in it, if it is big enough). Although with all that happened, I'm not sure how deep you would want to get on that.

Yeah, that's a cool idea.

Ima need a big azz box!

I forgot to mention, we got the COOLEST thing ever in our swag bags, a beer opener!!!!!

Around these parts that is known as a "Church Key." Won't say what demonination....

OK, I don't know if this is appropriate or morbid or what but until the last few days I have more or less ignored a lot of the Boston details but today I put it together. This is how close and also, luckily, how far away we were from everything.

It's sobering and poignant. You're not a media voyeur or morbid Looky Lou. You were there.

I really do NOT want to go to the pool this morning and the only reason I'm going is I have to get out of the house anyway in order to get toilet paper. We've run out of TP and all substances sufficiently similar to TP to be used as such.

3km run done at lunchtime.

pace was 6.15min/kms

Consider i used to average around 7.20 - very happy. First km today was 7.10 second was 5.59! not sure I can sustain that pace but I'm trying. I've cut the walk breaks down, no longer time them just take them when I really think I can't bear it any longer and only thirty secs breaks.

Pretty happy - Andrew says it can purely down to the one week of primal move - crawling and rolling! Well if that's the case I'm in...if not I'm just getting faster - either way I'll take it.

Motherforkin schitzenoodles. That workout was NOT worth suffering through even for toilet paper.

I'm working through Sheila T's Swim Speed Workouts 16-week progression--the very cool part is giving her feedback live as I go through it and getting it back from her.

The horrendous part is actually doing it ... ha ... by the end of the first week I'd renamed it the I Hate Sheila T Program. Now it's officially upgraded to the I REALLY Hate Sheila T Program. Can't wait to see what it becomes next!

Last week fully 1000m of the 4000m "long" workout was fly, although broken up among swim, drills, kick, etc.

This week "only" 850m of it was fly, but ALL SWIM. &$%# $&%!!!!!!! Even I don't like fly THAT much. And it was all in the main sets (2500m) so it was like 1/3 of the major workout was fly.

Sheila, meet dental floss ...

Being not of sound mind I am thinking to myself of course - I need to try this 16 week course myself.....hahahah. I cannot help being a glutton for punishment.

Got this guy at work that is driving me crazy.

What is it about men who are under 5'5" that makes them such arrogant jerks? I finally got rid of the one that has made my life miserable for the last 5 years and then someone feels that he can step right in a take over where the other one left off.

It has been a really crappy 9 months all round really (not just at work) and it is finally starting to get to me. I really need a holiday and looking at my calendar I might manage to squeeze 5 days in late in June but I dont think I will make it until then without using substantial amounts of Yanti's dental floss.

It probably wouldnt be so bad but due to the craziness of work and study I havent managed many workouts in the last month or two and that makes my stress levels rise dramatically and my ability to tolerate d!ck heads very low.

Anyway deep breaths and just keep going, one job at a time.

Stat!

It's good stuff too, the really strong waxed tape from America. You could tow a car with it.

Poor Stace. I really, really feel you. (Well I'd really like to but that is for another thread ). Be as clear with your boundaries and expectations as you can, and sometimes you have to just rest in the knowledge that you are a superior being. Those silly imbeciles simply can't operate at your level.
