Who wants to take over my training? (Read 626 times)

    My goals for spring are:

     

    1.) do something remarkable at the New Bedford Half Marathon on 3/17

    2.) break 17 for 5k soon after that.

     

    I just turned 43 so I'm well past my prime. I'm stubborn as shit and think I know everything, I'm moody and a wise ass, and I have way too much on my plate in real life. In other words I'm a coach's dream.

     

    I'll be accepting bids through, I dunno, next week sometime. Please include in your bid an outline of the training you'd propose, why you think it makes sense for me, and who the hell you think you are.

        He said Half marathon.   How about a coach that doesn't pay attention?  I could do it!  Big grin

Augustina Lindlbauer, the manager of an area guesthouse, noted that the area had lakes, forests, and vistas worth visiting, but there was an "obsession with Fucking". Lindlbauer recalled how she had to explain to a British female tourist "that there were no Fucking postcards."

                              Well I would start by telling you to stop cyring about your hamstring and to fucking suck it up.  Then I would tell you to stop being a big pansy ass excuse maker about life getting in your way.  Man I really hate when people do that.  If you have the time to sleep you have the time to run.  Let me try that another way.   If you have time to shop for shoes you have time to run more?  Damn shoe whore. 

                               

                              Stop using your damn age as an excuse.  WTF happened to you? 

                               

                              I started to write something and then just thought about what the young MikeyMike would think of himself if he could look into the future to see what he would become when he got into 40's.  I'm pretty sure he would have bitch slapped himself and then ran around the globe trying to find the fountain of youth so that he would never grow up to become the pansy ass, excuse making bitch that he would become.
