Aren't we a sorry bunch? Injured, always hungry, sick, broke and just slightly (or a lot) unstable. I'm at least 3 of those and on my way to a fourth one. Which one(s) apply to you?

Not good. It's 84F down here. Can you guys send me some of that fucking weather? Thank you. Sans wind; my lungs are delicate. So, the boss forced us into a meeting at 11am which meant I had to cancel my meeting (11am) for 1pm. And then, he canceled his meeting! Agh!

Did you see Horrible Bosses 1?
Former Bad Ass
Nope, but I have worked with a lot of bosses. This one takes the fucking cake.
Damaris
Alcoholic.
It was a great flick, I am looking forward to the sequel.
MTA: Great for what it was.
Thankfully my marathon training appetite has died down.
I am doing okay in that regard but dreamed last night that I was at some kind of outdoor food court in New York City, where there were rows and rows of pizza vendors for as far as I could see. All of the slices looked so yummy though that I could not make up my mind.
There was a timer counting down and I could not make a decision before the stupid thing got to zero, and when it did, I woke up!
So any way, I have been craving pizza all day. lol
Seven Deadly Shins
can't say that about me, thankfully!
We've had first snow of the season today. It's snowing outside as I'm typing this. It's not staying, though.
Breaking news: All sugar is more or less the same
You poor thing. Hang in there bro, it's no reason to give up on your dreams.
Throwback Thursday? I dug up the activity from my old NikePlus account from my first marathon. Oct 12, 2011. Ran a 4:16. Haha...the splits in my last marathon were way worse! Faster, but worse.
Here's my 4:16 debut from 10/21/2012 in Grand Rapids.
Had no timing device, so only have race splits.
Nice finish, huh!

There is no shame in a big fade where that first or second or third or fourth marathon is concerned. lol
I will see if I can dig mine up.
