OMG good luck with the kitties D, lol! Hope hubby can manage them and no more escapes happen!

 

Ran 7+ easy and felt good, thinking that tomorrow I'll do an easy double for roughly the mileage I would have put into an MLR, easy Fri with some strides, then get that last dang 20+ out of the way on Saturday. Then it is TAPER CITY BABY! Drop that mileage!

You've earned that shit.

LOL Damaris--sounds like a nightmare! That is dead funny that the cats locked themselves in the van, opened the windows, and escaped (it's only funny that they didn't get lost--otherwise it would not be funny). Good luck to your dh!

 

I think traveling with kids is a lose-lose situation til they get way older. My middle guy was a collicky baby, and hated the car. He would scream bloody murder every time we put him in the carseat til he was like 9 mos old? Oy. I am also having flashbacks of pure living hell. Actually, on one of our trips to go back to dh's home, via a road trip, he mistakenly taught our (then) 20mos old how to say "fuck", b/c our middle guy wouldn't quit screaming, and it took us 4 hours to get 120 miles. Not because of traffic. We turned around and went home (while my daughter said "fuck" on repeat the entire time, lol).

It is true what they say - little kids, little problems; big kids, big problems. But I do not miss any of the little kid problems. I guess I am a cranky old man now, but it's hard for me anymore to take little kids acting up or making a bunch of noise in restaurants, planes, etc.

Rumor has it that you're not actually running a marathon until you register for it!

Yeah, but the benefit of doing a smaller race like this is that I CAN register last minute. If I (HEAVEN FORBID) get hurt and can't run the marathon, that's the entry fee lost, but if I have to go on a dive trip anyway... that's not a bad thing

 

That's all fine and dandy for a 5k, 10k and even a half marathon. But for the Big Show, if the singlet fits, you must commit.

IDK, the first place female at this marathon last year did the same thing I did and registered the week before. Maybe that's a good luck charm.

Anyway, I think the whole "commitment" thing is for people who have trouble finding motivation to run without knowing they're registered for a race. I don't have that problem.

I'm just messing around with you. You're good.

I ran 8 miles with a workout of 2x(8x200m with 200m float)
