Mad Mutant Manatee Mentors 4--CLOSED (Page 91)

Meeee neither. And the only we will be able to stay motivated/warm in the rain will  be to drink more beer, so ...

So, you are hoping for rain...

A most excellent cake!!  And ouchie, sunburn   or should I use this emoticon since it has red cheeks

I had no idea your hair was that long.

I'm so happy you rode 20+ miles. I hope you suffered for reasons other than lack of sunscreen.

I want a piece of that cake.

Yes! My hair is ca-razy long!!! Mainly because I don't take the time out of my schedule to get it cut but also because I don't really know what I want to do to it next.

Come and get your cake, cake cake cake cake

and I didn't put it in my log, but yeah, I rode like 26 miles on Friday and the sunscreen was the least of my worries. Also I rode HARD because I was late for HH.

I want to put my face in your cake.

Before or after? 

Yes, do tell. This is important information. For my ... training

All you need to know about your training is that I STILL have a red and white riding crop in my closet, young lady.

You certainly know how to keep me motivated. If that's the correct word.

Oh and very EXCITING about your bike can't wait for the pictures.

I feel like i missed an episode sometimes!  But yes to cake before or after whatever it is we're referring.  Long hair nice.  I too struggle with hair cutting, once a year if i'm lucky.  I just don't have the hours or cash or the inclination.

I'm also testing on my MacBook.  Mac + Chrome + Training Log = Disaster

... Nevermind, I see that you're not talking about the vanilla BT setup.

This was on our weekend away, we left him alone while we went out for dinner, came home to the shoes....Then after he'd been scolded he disappeared, got under the fence so the pyjama search ensued, not before my cousin slipped over in his pee!

So coz we were all so worried we lost him he got away with the shoe thing and welcomed home like a long lost son.  Geez, he's more bother than a kid!

Actually, I like the look of the new site, there are just some pieces that may need some attention. I believe they've really put some effort into it, and it does have a ways to go, but I think the direction is good. And they are getting some valuable feedback.  It is funny that some user end stuff that we find important is overlooked by developers, or not deemed important.  We struggle with this type of thing all the time with our IT department.  I have been on both sides of the SDLC, so I can understand the struggle.

I posted this long 21 mile story of Big Sur and when I submitted it it disappeared.  BT frustrates me!!!

I had an amazing time.  Met amazing people.  The course is not only beautiful, it is transforming.  I watched the BAA race director (with whom I became friends and that was a whole long story) who was representing Boston go from being sad and defeated to renewed.  It was beautiful.  There were so many Boston 2 Big Sur transformation stories.  It is a spiritual course.  I can't explain it. 

The 21 miler was so relaxed and wonderful.  We even started off with 40 minutes of pre-race yoga at the oceanside, at dawn, to start the race and stay warm.  Just an amazing experience.  I don't recommend my couch potato to 21 mile training plan (I have run less than 50 miles total in the past year) but I wouldn't have missed this for the world.  Luckily I have enough fitness that I didn't die on the course and could enjoy without suffering.  

Momo helping me pack, and wanting to go with me.

Pre-Race Yoga to get one with the Earth.  Only in California.

Ready to go.  All Oooooommmmmed up.

One of the climbs ahead

I got Chariots of Fire to serenade me down the hill this year.  Last year was The Rose. 

My roomie and I with our medals.

If you do one marathon in your lifetime, this should be the one!!!  Not a PR course for most (although I did get my marathon PR there last year) but definitely a course to be EXPERIENCED and felt.  Toughest course I've ever run.  The camber in the road is a hip, back, and knee killer.  "Pain only hurts"
