Hmm...just a night at home with my wife and family.  We've been running all week, and tonight would be a great night to have some downtime...

A run tomorrow...post a pic when this thread gets to page 82...

Church on Sunday morning...friends up from Mankato (we used to live there) Sunday afternoon...

REALLY low key weekend...

Yes, it has proved to be a problem (I'm 5'5"). I tend to be a legs and azz guy, and the better ones are usually (but not always) on women that are taller than I am. Combined with my fetish for high heels, and our cultures' disposition that men should be TALLER than their women... its always been hard for me to find a date. My X2 is actually a 1/2" taller than me, my X1 was 5'1". The person I'm sort of dating here in Sacto is 5'3". But I like tall women, always have, its not an issue with ME.

I'm celebrating my birthday (which is Monday) a little early with this tonight:

I love German Chocolate Cake. It has special meaning to me this year as one of the issues I had with X2 is she wouldn't make it/or get it for my birthdays because she didn't like it because "it looks like a dog turd on a plate."

But the key lime pie SHE likes smelled, tasted, and looked hideous. But I never said anything, but it looks like jello that's gone very, very bad. LOL

The important question is...has it ever prevented us from meeting the women we've wanted to meet?  (umm...in my case...my wife...)

Well, I ran 14 miles and talked to a good friend on the phone.

I get every other Friday off as I work a compressed schedule. Since this is a long weekend and I wanted to shake up my taper a bit, I flipped my long run to today.

Speaking of which...

I ran 9 yesterday and 14 today... let's see, that makes my challenge numbers 65.7/100.

Well, I don't have you by much...5'6"...

Dang, I should have held out for German Chocolate cake...that or pecan pie...instead I had 3 of these at lunch...

ooops...NO!!! 3 COOKIES, not BOXES...sheesh...

I'm not tall, but I have super long legs

Hmmm... does this mean I'm a different species/sex or something?

Hey, a year ago, a 3.2 mile run was hard for me. There is a great degree of truth to ride/run lots mode of training. Once you get to a certain level, though, you have to start specializing the workouts or they just turn into junk miles.

But you should be PROUD of yourself for 3.2 miles... particularly since you're more a cyclist to being with.

Thanks Hector. I'll be 46, in case anyone is interested. Doesn't that make me the oldest nibbin? Or almost?
