Mad Manatee Mentors 2013: CLOSED (exc/ Pop Tart bribes) (Page 96)

Y'know, I was thinking about Jogo's newfound RAAAR and quite a few of us ... while being benevolent to an ahole is by no means the priority ... I think being benevolent to the bene people, like ourselves, is

... you don't do anyone any favors by letting them be an ahole. You can be compassionate about the fact that they may be effed up, going through shyte, whatever, but we do the individual and the world no good by putting up with any part of their ahole-ishness.

Many of the best and hardest lessons I learned were when people put their foot down and expressed (in whatever manner) that something I did or was doing was unacceptable. Maybe not right away, and maybe only after repeated patterns, but it made me change ... it made me replace crappy behavior with constructive action. Much better for everyone all around.

   That sounds awesome!  And it was with salad, so it's good for you. 

On the same theory, I ate an ice cream sandwich--ice cream on whole wheat bread it was awesome too!

How de body, pookie pie?

AAAAAAAAAAAAH for an Internet connection not powered by hibernating squirrels!!!

Especially when there are cute piglet moms and sons to look at. *glum*

Heh ... squirrels, bears, and piglets, oh my!

That was very cool, TJ, thanks for posting!!  I was so busy people-watching I was almost too distracted to see you guys.  I'm wondering why the guy in the gorilla suit needed balloons to further help him stand out from the crowd?!

And I think you should buy the race pic if you can get one with the chick in the sports bra edited out.  His first 10K + you doing something fun and active together = keeper.  OK, so maybe I get a little extra sentimental since I never had the opportunity to do such things with my parents...parent/child combos at races always get me a little choked up.

Bloody speedy hobbling hobbit if you ask me!

So I'm entered into the 5km run at Cairns next Friday, very excited.

If you're into podcasts give MaccaUncensored's latest offering a listen - good Aussie accents and funny.  No. 11 I think The times they are a changin.  Nice to hear Macca say he handled the descents in barcelona like a muppet.  He gives me hope.

Swim for the Long Course ITU this weekend has been cancelled so it's a duathlon - Terenzo should smoke this race.

As part of my JoGo I had a rest day - rest is a very important part of training and I neglect it.  So yesterday I did it - that's actually a huge achievement for me.  I feel better physically for it, but emotionally I find it tough and miss those endorphins!

Awesome stuff, thanks for sharing it with us!

I hate not being able to check in during the day, I miss so much!! 

Joanne, I LOVE that you are kicking and taking names.  Keep it up!!

TJ, I hope your knee is better.  I think you posted that you rode tonight, so it must be alright.

Darren, awesome job on the race, gimpy indeed!!

I am going to struggle for the month of June...I had very little work for May/June at the beginning of May.  Now, I have too much!!  I am working 6 days a week for a couple of weeks, and 50+ hours on the 'regular' weeks.  I am going to have to really work at getting my training in and getting enough sleep...  My jogo is partially done this AM with a run; I will be doing some stretching/strength this evening to complete.  Have a great Friday, all!!

Eeek!  Stay safe and snuggle tight!

Oh, no! I'm sorry. Stay alert. (I was up until 3:30 listening for sirens last night.)

Where are you all? I like that it's still semi-light at 9:00 here. I can go out for a run at 8:00 without a head lamp. :-)

I got my 1 hour of yoga at the giraffe deck at work (nothing beats doing the Downward Dog pose and hearing a giraffe peeing in the background...both surreal and unbelievable--really, how can one pee SO FREAKIN' MUCH!?!?!?) Then I went for a 42 minute run...it was slow. You can pick 'em as to which was the Jogo for today.

Well said.
