Mental Manatee Mentors Part 3--CLOSED (Page 84)

That is the heart of everything.

Exactly!!  You go over 25 and they just aren't that special or meaningful anymore.

Shiz. Why are there so many disgusting human beings?

I am so sorry that happened. Please stay safe, especially to any woman that runs in the dark. 

I am a fan, I think I appreciate the length of the season. Every game matters, you've got to be good in the long haul. Also, only so many teams get in the playoffs. Too many teams in the playoffs waters down the meaning of the season. Not so much in football, but the other 2 major U.S. sports have a playoff system that is a bit overdone, IMO.

K, I'll send my friends and family to your living room. You are gonna be sooooo sorry and soooo delighted at the same time.

Did my last tough track workout last night! Yaaaaaaaaaaay!

My training partner and I and JUST different enough that I needed my own timing device to complete my workout (as the rest of the group was doing a different, non-marathon specific workout) Anyway, I forgot a watch so I had to carry my phone and use the stopwatch function lol fun stuff ....

Anyway, the workout was supposed to be 8 x 800 @ 3:08 (so, that's a 6:16 pace for all you no-mathy peeps) with limited recovery (2:00 running in the turf)

Here were my splits:

8 x 800: 
3:08 
3:08 
3:05 
3:00 
3:05 
3:05 
3:06 
3:00 

Then got a nice pep talk from our coach. I told him I fly in Monday and he thought I meant marathon Monday and was about to lose his sh*t. 

You really need to work on being a bit more consistent in your splits

Haha, right? I thought I was doomed after going 8 seconds fast only halfway through.

Hey! Not bad for keeping looking down at your phone

I know. It was so awkward. Then I would get texts and phone calls from people who I couldn't identify since I lost all my contacts. Super cool! My phone was a sweaty mess at the end. 

Hmmm, I am a fan of lots of sports I guess. I have a hard time staying focused during a baseball game but I just supplement the lulls with beer and garlic fries. 

Basketball has a long season but the sport is a hell of a lot more dynamic. I didn't used to be a big fan (except maybe in the 90s when the Sonics were cool) but J and my friends have converted me.  

Football IS great, but watching it live can be questionable. Biggest D-bags go to those games. Ugh. 

I have come to appreciate baseball more in the past few years, but I really only watch the playoffs.  Hockey, of course, is where it's at.  Basketball can take it or leave it; football the same.  Weird, cause 10 years ago, I used to watch football all day on Sundays and B-ball was my game in HS.

She's taking back her power right there.  You go girl.

Be cautious everyone.

Yes, I am a fan of sports (have participated in most everything that's been available to try- lacrosse and hockey never nearby)...it's the length of the professional season that gets me. I primarily watch baseball and basketball when they've been narrowed down to playoffs.

First few dates with DH were to Oakland A's games. Beer and dollar dogs. lol  Ahhhhh...fond memories 

Sadly, we've found that watching many of our sports live has put us in the direct path of DBs. And it makes it difficult to enjoy as a family with young children.  

Wow! Too many creeps out there. Biggest reason I don't run outside with earbuds.

Good for her to help other women/people like this!

Scary and infuriating all at once.  Glad to hear she was able to get away.  There are times it stinks to be a female and this is #1 on the list: having to fear running/exercising alone.

Still rabbit on a bit I see............

FROGGY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Were your ears burning???  How goes it?

Any chance you can squeeze a little one back in. I come bearing pop tarts, melon hugs and a decent race card for this year!!!

Mmmmm, a few pages ago Salty was saying she doesn't miss you (I believe there may have been a derogatory term used even)... but I think the saying goes once a Manatee, always a Manatee, so I'll welcome you back!

Ahhh...so this is THE Froggy from recent discussion? lol

Gutted, and i was looking forward to a warm welcome from the old slapper elite athlete. What page exactly? I need details in order to appropriately greet her.

At least you have a heart my dear Kirsten.

I posted it 2 posts back. 

The one and same!
