al320, WTAF? That guy sucks.

@vtcupcake, good luck this weekend. Thank god for bourbon.

I think if one more person posts in our MRTT chapter group looking to buy or sell a bib for a huge 4 miler going on on Sunday, our admins' heads are going to explode. The rules (in which it is explicitly stated that this is NOT allowed and will result in your removal from the group) have been reposted repeately in the last few days but yet it's still happening. But people don't pay attention, then whine when they get in trouble. Dude no.

You did burn 13,000 calories on Sunday. Ya know, if you werent vegan, youd have filled back up on burgers and shit.

al320 ,I'd say back to that asshole "Gee, you don't look like a douchebag to me so I'm surprised you are such an excellent one". Arghhhh I HATE that type of attitude.

al320 ew. I'm so sorry . I'm proud of you for not stopping because of his idiocy, although if it becomes something that's too bothersome, there's nothing wrong with dropping that bullshit, either.

I'm feeling particularly insecure about myself at the moment, so I'm not sure I would have handled that as well as you have.

My neighbor is bitching to me about her son's first grade class not having a sub and having to split the kids up among other first grade classes.

1) Just because Mr. GT is a teacher do you expect me to be able to do something about this?
2) Maybe if you hadn't voted against the tax increase that was on the ballot the school board wouldn't have had to cut sub pay so they didn't have to increase elementary school class size

 This got lost in the presidential election last year. I was so disappointed that this didn't pass. People suck. 

I agree with all of this. I guess people don't really care till it impacts them personally.

It sounded to me like she consumed at least 2,000 calories of alcohol the next day!

al320, I am so angry on your behalf.

I spent all day doing the same 20 minute presentation on a loop to groups of school kids. I do not want to use my legs or my voice for the rest of the evening.

In eight days, wedding season will officially calm down and marathon training will begin.

Ive already vented to a few people about this.

My pt recommended this running group to me that does track workouts. Another one of my friends does long runs with this group and happens to be good friends with one of the coaches. I go the other night. Introduce myself to the coach that is friends with my friend, tell him my pt sent me. I tell him that im coming back from injury, have only ever done speedwork on a treadmill, but am trying to get my marathon time down, since after many, im stuck in the same 6ish minute range. He looks at me and suggests what that time would be. And is off by 50 minutes. As in, 50 minutes slower than i run. First of all, why, WHY do that?! You cant guess how fast someone is solely by looking at them. Second, this has made me feel so supremely shitty. I know im not super fast, im solidly midpack. I know im not this uberathletic and fit looking person. But like, fuck you buddy. The time he suggested is the pace i run when i do easy zone 2 runs in 90° heat and 75% humidity with hills. When i told him my actual time, he seemed shocked. One of the other coaches said "oh, wow, so you break 4 hrs, thats good." But in a patting me on the head like a child sort of way. Fwiw, they were both wearing BAA jackets, so like, good for them i guess.

I did the workout with a different (third, and only female) coach, and i plan to keep going back, but im REALLY angry about this.

Oh, big fucking deal. Them and thousands and thousands of other people.The BAA jacket is only a big deal to the person wearing the jacket. LOL And even if it was a big deal (it's not), it is no excuse to act like a douchey twat. I'm so pissed for you.
