Manatee Mentors 2015.2 CLOSED (Poptarts? Pet pics?) (Page 8)

Yes.

My first race of the season is Sunday, and I'm looking forward to it!  A 5K with the weather south of freezing.  It will be a good fitness test.

As the subject of watching bike races on tv/computer regularly surfaces in this group I thought I'd share this Velo article for those that didn't catch it.

Sounds like a challenge! Dress smart and have fun!

Hands I hope the weather for your race plays nice.

AWESOME!!!!

Ooh, interesting!  This could be trainer entertainment tomorrow, depending what time it's on.

Have fun and stay warm!  Layer layer layer.

That's definitely Yippeee worthy!! 

Don't know how I've stayed a Manatee so long -yuck to poptarts!!

Yikes!  I hope the roads aren't icy or whatever other type of mess you northern people get!!  Have fun

  I'll be wearing a sleeveless top and shorts cuz it's going to be hot for my HM -60*s to start, 70*s by the end. 

Oh, that's just mean.  We got a goodie basket on our floor because there's been a ton of construction and moving going on.  I'm helping to get rid of it by eating spice drops and nuts/cranberries.  I figure the nut mix balances out the spice drops, right?

Ice giants and frost people trying to get you ...

You could make a ton of money with that kind of race!

Good luck with your race this weekend.

The dude that hit me plead guilty yesterday and we are alllll done. I was talking to my victim's advocate on the phone and it brought up a lot more emotion than I thought it would. I was so glad I didn't have to testify. Yay. Glad to have that off my plate so I can truly move the eff on. I also feel the justice was served and hopefully with the prescribed treatment, he can come out of this a better person.

I'm glad it is over for you!  And, I hope he follows the treatment and changes for the better.

Be careful! You don't have a ton of miles under your belt. A true all out kind of effort concerns me a bit.

How is the knee doing?

Well, he has no choice. If he fails to comply with any part of the deal he goes to jail for 316 days. No option to reduce that. 

That is an incredibly gracious way of looking at it.

You are cool beans and I'm really glad you have closure on this.

It was something I really had to think about, and also something some of my friends aren't super happy about. Which I can understand, I mean they had to witness this. Which, I honestly think was worse than what I went through. I had adrenaline on my side...

I talked extensively with the prosecutor and it just seemed like this guy clearly needs help, and if he doesn't want that, at least he will have some sort of accountability for a few years. 

I'm not going to let this ruin my life and I don't really see any benefit for it to ruin his either. 

x100.  I'm so glad the case is over.  Don't be surprised if the emotions come up again.  That happens with trauma and the best way to manage it is to just let the feelings come out, then let them go.  (((Hugs)))
