Yanti & Salty Beyond Ridiculous Manatees PART 6--CLOSED (Page 79)

Well, I mean I just don't know what anything means.

I know what a BQ is, I know what age-grading is in running, what Olympic trials standards are, which races are competitive etc.

I just don't know any of that stuff when it comes to triathlon.  And I mean I am a failure because I am a mentor on a triathlon specific site lol

PSA: (Pay attention this time DubSix, Sarasota Half is included!) 

Race Discount Code: TODAY ONLY, the link below includes the discount code of "121212" that gives $12 off registration fees for several full and half marathons as well as triathlons for some popular races in Miami, Atlanta, Chicago, and several other cities. 

Oooh the ING Miami is on my "some day" list

Woohoo! Thanks, Janyne. Happy Birthday and Merry Christmas to me! :-)

Thanks, I got that one. I am signed up already. I got half price for signing up right after this year's race. Someday I will crush that race, and until then I continue signing up every year.

Sigh, they may get more money out of me in the next 20 years then my wife thought possible

BTW, Sarasota bills itself as having the biggest finishers medal in the state. So, if size matters to you...

Size doesn't matter, Chris.

Well, cool! It sounds like the National's qualification is legit!

That's fun! And totally random. 

We interrupt normal manatee banter to interject this:

?

Whiskey.  Tango.  Foxtrot.

You may now resume usual manatee convo.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot is right!!! That frosting specialist (sounds like a legit job description, no?) needs to be reported. Stat. 

I just feel sorry for the poor nekkid little poptart...

ETA: Call the company, they'll send you coupons for comp product!

What??? Rip off.

Speaking of, has anyone tried the seasonal sugar cookie and gingerbread pop tarts? Oh, my.

And somewhere a job opening has been posted for a Pop Tart Quality Control Specialist. I gotta update my resume'.

Hahaha! I was just about to type that. 

Oh my, that sounds good. Now I have to go to the store. After I've updated my resume'

This raises many questions.

You're better off that way. They are like the crack of the food world.

I lived on pop-tarts when I was at the academy, i ate the "high-fiber" ones when I was trying to lose weight (there's irony for ya). Now I really don't buy them, although those holiday flavors sound pretty good!

Well I got my Jogo challenge done. I went out with a plan of doing something between walking 30 minutes or running the 75 minutes on my plan. I ended up running 58 minutes and running, interestingly, the route that use to be my long run, now it's my medium run. Not bad considering the fact that this morning I was pretty sure my head was going to explode.

Forkin' nice work! It's funny how that happens. Glad you are feeling better, or at least pretending that you are.

I think she prefers team stuff anyway - Im from a big family i like individual - funny that huh?

I don't think your lack of siblings caused you to have difficulty resolving conflict.  It won't have helped for sure. 

I hate conflict I hate confrontation, I avoid it, I'm always the one trying to make things peaceful.  Maybe coz my older brother and sister hated each other - and still do - I just was trying to lay low.

Anyway - when Artemis has friends over or we're with friends/family with kids and she comes whining to me about whatever so and so has done or is doing - my answer is always - go away, you kids can sort it out or we can go home now - your choice.

It's worked well.

Yay.  Looks like you are back on track for your commute. Be CAREFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think the consistency is really helping.  The runs seem so much easier now. The occasional tough run still makes me nervous, but it's coming along.

Seriously. It's amazing what consistency can do. I remember when I first started some of my long bikes are now routine long runs. And that wasn't all that long ago!  It just blows my mind, the adaptions we can make.
