I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself. A bird will fall frozen dead from a bough without ever having felt sorry for itself. ["Self-Pity" by D. H. Lawrence]
I've always loved that quote. Have a great week, peeps ~

Can I rejoin this thread? I dropped out because it outlined my frustration with my life being such a juggling act, and it was depressing me. But I like you guys and I do a decent amount of cross-training, even more than in the past.
So, I'm thinking if I commit to my totals for the week, and then come back at the end and report how somehow it magically got done, I'll feel good about it, not all down in the dumps.
For this week, here's the goals:
Not bad. Slideboarding was irritating to me this week, which why I halved my time on it. I think I need to polish up the board. (There's a thought!)
Core work didn't happen the second time becuase I was sore! Still am! LOL

Oops, totally forgot to check in here. And that wasn't the only thing I forgot.
Anyways, 53.52K of running (33.26 miles), worked every UB muscle group once, including abs and LB only once. Bike commute was 13K. Only did it once too, cause it totally killed my legs. I wasn't in a fit state for anything the day after.
Lesly: cute avatar...
Stumpy: what kind of job do you have that requires that much travel?
