well that sounds like a good time!!

My concern is....is he still alive? You know...because who am I going to pick on if he's not.

No worries. I have this covered in my will. Because I have a small amount of concern for your well being, I have a replacement for me, should you need somebody else to pick on.

I donno I woke up this morning still tired - 8 hours was apparently not enough. Had breakfast and went to meet Pam. Arrived still yawning and feeling like I would rather go to breakfast than run or better go back to bed. But we started off. I kept telling myself it was going to be a good run and I just needed to get warmed up. 2 miles in I just started feeling nauseas and then I started crying - I am not nearly as tough as Candice apparently. So we sat for a couple minutes talked about maying dropping to 5 days a week of running and eating a little more. And then we walked back to our cars. We went to get breakfast - that's right I was nauseas and hungry - go figure. Then I went home and slept for an hour. And I've spent the rest of the day tired. I will probably go to bed soon. I'm not sure that I will run tomorrow, but I'll get back to it Monday definately! I know I gotta get my long runs done. And I dreaded coming back here and mentioning it, but I suck at lying (especially when you can log stalk to see i'm a liar). So here I sit - still feeling nauseas and wanting to sleep.

Shan, I know what you're talking about. I've had those days in the past. It is always so rewarding when I can work though those road blocks and finish the run. You definitely have this run in you. I hope you find a way to get it in.

I agree. Should I make anti-bullshit team tshirts?

GETM

Dude! I love you! How do you know me so well?

and GETM MTA: Shan, stick it out.

thank you guys for your support.

Hope you had a nice run this morning, Marcus. Shan, hang in there. As Candice said, a lot of distance running is about mental toughness. And, perhaps by going to 5 days a week of running, you can focus more on quality and efficiency. The use one of the other two days to do some sort of cross training to break up the monotony? Something fun and easy. Wow, I just slept for 12 hours. My legs feel alright today. I might have to do a short recovery run. Yesterday's run was frickin' awesome! I would do something similar sometime. Mabye somewhere in south or west Nashville with one of you pricks. I imagine right now, Candice is "tri-ing" because that's what triathletes do. MTA: Tanya, I saw you running the blvd yesterday morning, as we were leaving the gates of hell. You appeared to be "in the zone" and running pretty moderately. I figured maybe a pack of 4 women deep walkers or a biker must have pissed you off.

No. You are wrong. Candice didn't get to go to her race. Long story that I won't be sharing on the internet. It was also told to me by the person who was the cause of the not getting to go that "you're a marathon runner anyway, not a triathlete" like that's supposed to make me feel better. I'm pissed. Very very pissed. uuuuuuuuughhhh oioihiugyutyur78v64jkgguygtuyt@#32432!!!!!
