Any weekend vents/complaints??

[cinco]

Thanks guys! I knew you'd get it.

This has been one of the most wintery winters I can remember. It's not the snowiest by a long shot, but it's the coldest. I have spring allergies, but I'd kill for some pollen right now. That would mean it's above freezing.

I tried to go run on the trail and it was horrible. I came home and ran 12 on the treadmill, 9 miles in I realized the treadmill was on a 2 incline. No wonder it was such a hard run.

cinco, I hate the wind!

Wow! That would kill me.

I had a good race today, but the trail was SO muddy in places. Now I have to spend an hour cleaning my mountain bike.

I've spent the rest of the afternoon napping on the couch

The pollen is out of control! My car is completely yellow, & it's ruining the nice weather we're actually having. I cannot stop sneezing. My nostrils & eyes are all inflamed & everything is watering. Ugh. I'm afraid to go back outside.

So what I'm hearing is death by shitty Florida weather is imminent? Either nasty ass heat and humidity or pollen? Uggggghhhh.

LOL! I have no idea why it's so bad right now. Probably because Mother Nature is so damn confused with this weather. Luckily it doesn't affect me until after the run. My entire 10 miles I was fine, but within 10 min of finishing I was sneezing like crazy. It really is gorgeous right now though. High of 66 & not a cloud in the sky.

Eating Paleo makes me feel better 90% of the time, but my last 2-3 long runs have been miserable failures. I decided today to add back in grains (pasta last night, bagel this morning) and my 10 miles today was much better, but I don't want to go back to eating that crap.

I'm on Team So-Over-Winter also. Although my energy was decent for my 10 miler, running on/around ice & packed snow took a lot out of me. About a mile from the end of my run, there was a really bad stretch of road where the sun doesn't hit...it was basically all ice and a car came around a curve, tried to slow down - failed, tried to swerve around me - failed and ended up hitting the snow embankment...I felt absolutely terrified and guilty all at the same time...that'll teach me to brave the elements and shitty road conditions.

I'm over running. I'm at a point that I'm ready to just hang up my running shoes forever, but I'm signed up for races...

Yet another who is over the cold and snow. It just won't end! Plus, my craptastic body. I'd like a magic pill to make it all better ASAP.

I miss that awesome feeling I had when I was in the best shape of my life. This pregnancy weight is not coming off by itself. I'd get a walk in today but its 20 degrees here. Tuesday I'm getting a treadmill though so that should help.

give yourself some time!  It took 9 months to put it on, it's not going to come off in just two weeks.

[CallingAllAngels]

I missed two runs this week, so I will not hit my goal for this month. One was due to snow, but today I just said I DGAF and took the kids to the zoo. We had been trapped inside since Tuesday afternoon so it was a much needed break from the house.

[Deleted]

I have a couple. I hate snow. We ard getting more snow tomorrow night into Tuesday. I have to do laundry tomorrow. DH has to work next Saturday thanks to Thursday' s storm. I hate his job. I really want to do my intervals outside but the county does a crappy job plowing so I know I am going to fall on my butt. Also the town doesn't maintain the park's walking path in the winter so I can't use that.

My hope is wine will fix all these issues.

I have 150 tests to grade and I really don't feel like doing it. Sometimes I hate that I make them write instead of just giving scantron tests.

I had a craptastic run with H on Friday which led to my whiney running post. The wind kicked my butt. It took everything I had in me to keep up with him and he was pushing the Bob. And he only runs once, maybe twice per week. Then he rubbed it in by 'just doing three or four more' because he wanted a good workout. Grr. I'm a lame a-hole.

The wind is no joke.

I was on the Monon one windy Saturday a while back and it was so windy that I was struggling at pace 2 minutes/mile slower than normal. I ended up sitting on corner of an intersection in Broad Ripple throwing a fit worthy of my 6 year old daughter. I think I hate wind more than I hate snow.

[runaways]

cinco, it has been windy as hell here for the past few weeks and it is absolutely slowing me down. I know exactly what you mean about feeling like you have a lot left but just being unable to execute. Completely understandable that you're frustrated, but I wouldn't be surprised if that wasn't really representative of what you can do these days.

My vent: I am so sore. Status post first week back in the weight room, and it's kicking my ass. I'm trying to power through until it gets a little easier but I think I may have to put speed work on hold for a few weeks.

Not actually quoting since you're going to delete, but I just wanted to say I'm so sorry you're dealing with it. DH and I have had some similar issues on and off and it's not easy. We are slowly trying to work through it.

[clseale]

Ugh. I'm so sorry, @vtcupcake. Have you guys talked? Like one of those really tough uncomfortable talks? Marriage can be so damn tough sometimes, and we all go through ups & downs of so much shit, but you don't deserve to feel that way. You deserve to have someone make you feel as amazing as you are. It sucks when the person who is supposed to make you feel the best, can also make you feel the worst. ((Hugs))

[Deleted]

I'm sorry @vtcupcake. Hugs.

[sunshinejoy]

Vt: very similar to what my dh and I are working through now....its good to know I'm not alone...Im sorry you are dealing with this

[sunshinejoy]

Believe me....I know that feeling...like wth is wrong with me...yep...

[clseale]

I am such a mix of angry & heartbroken for you right now.   Like, I really just want to cry, and hug you, and pour you a huge glass of wine.

I can relate to some of that. We've gone through the picking at each other & being annoyed with each other, etc. DH & I have been together for almost 14 yrs, and you just go through some shit, ya know? We're in a really good place right now, but during the low times I've actually said, "I know you love me, but I'm really not sure that you like me very much, and I don't really know wtf we're doing here." (To be fair, there were probably times that I made him feel the same way .) It was pretty eye opening for him, and the way he was making me feel wasn't how he actually felt. 

It sounds like you've been dealing with this for a really long time , and you can't do much if he's not willing to work or communicate with you. Would counseling be an option? You guys have dealt with some pretty heavy stuff. Do you think any of his medical stuff has contributed to it? 

You have to do whatever you need to make you happy. Just know we're all here to listen & send virtual hugs. (( @vtcupcake ))

[kams]

(hug) @vtcupcake  (hug2)

Marriage can be so incredibly challenging. Thinking of you.

[taratru]

Hugs, @vtcupcake. Sounds like he's got some serious insecurities going on right now and he's taking it out on you. He probably needs some help working through that.

Regardless, you're awesome. Try to not let him make you feel less.

[taratru]

My vent? My left trap has been knotted and painful for a full week. It hurts to cough, sniff, bend, lie down, drive.... I went to some random massage place today that takes walk ins, and they had no room. Imma gonna scream soon.

[runaways]

Aaaand my car is broken. Son of a bitch.

[katinthehat]

We're going to a school tour for big kid this morning which requires us to actually be up and on a schedule this morning (alarm went off at 6:15). This is for the birds. I have no idea how you working moms do it.

[greysgirl]

Both my runs sucked over the weekend. I'm feeling really discouraged lately.

[clseale]

Still dying from the pollen this morning!!

My DH is off for President's Day, and I'm stuck at work.

DH mentioned maybe wanting to run a late spring full, which immediately launched me into a race search. I found a race I am obsessed with, but it's full. There's a waiting list which I've added our names to (they might open up more spots), but now I'm not sure he still wants to run a race, or spend the money on what would have to be a destination race. (Ain't no body in this household running a FL marathon in MAY.) Now I'm pouty about the whole thing. lol
