Friday randoms, vents, aw, etc

[whiteorchid]

This doesn't deserve a whole post, so add anything you want here.

I was out running this morning and waiting at a busy intersection for the light to turn. I had headphones in, so I wasn't really paying attention to anyone. I looked up and a truck with two women and two me in it were pointing at me and laughing. I didn't wait for the light. I made sure I wasn't going to get hit and then I started running hard. I stopped a bit down the road and busted out crying. Fuck those assholes.

I'm sure it's because I wear solid colored athleta capris, so they look wet in the crotch and down the inner legs because of sweat. I figured most people would know that. I'm mostly pissed at myself for not yelling at them because they had their windows down. Im used to catcalling and ignore it, but this might be the first time I've been laughed at.

Add your stuff, please! I just had to get that out and see if anyone else can relate

UGH. F those jerks.

Anyone remember the friend I was ranting about last week because she was posting all sorts of cryptic FB live videos about "what's in the box" blah blah blah whatever her newest MLM love is? (she's a former Beachbody devotee) Turns out I was wrong. It's not Plexus. It's Pruvit. So all ketone based stuff designed to put you into ketosis, I guess? Either way, ugh.

Ugh...I've got a couple of Pruvit-ers on my FB feed (they are husband and wife) and I am ::this:: close to blocking them. I only haven't yet because I figure they are going to give up on it soon and it's kind of fun to snark about them with my H. They keep posting before and after pictures and they don't look any different, lol.

F those guys. I'm afraid of wearing anything other than black bottoms for taht same reason. Though sometimes in my case it's not 100% sweat. stupid pelvic floor.

My sister is living with my mom for her 2nd year of law school and I think we're going to get her into tris. *evil cackle*  Mama's gotten her out for two bike rides on her old too-big mountain bike and sister was having fun. She already runs. And she wasn't sure about swimming, but I reminded her that we had the same childhood (duh) so she had the same base swim training I did and I do just fine. She can get added onto my mom's swim membership for like...$20 or something absurdly cheap. And I assume there is a pool somewhere on her campus... this is totally going to happen. She's going to kick all our butts. She's a much more natural athlete than I am.

whiteorchid ,what assholes. I"m sorry you had to deal with that bullshit.

I have been shopping around for a watch upgrade for about a year, but holding off because I wanted to see what options would appear for the holidays this year. Behold! They are here!

I am looking at the Fitbit Ionic and the Garmin Vivoactive 3. They hit my big points (multisport, bluetooth connectivity, smart notifications, wrist hr, not ugly, card less payments)
Pros of the Garmin: Prettier. Can connect with bike sensors/footpods/other garmin things. More advanced workout metrics.
Pros of the Ionic: Music storage. More of a general fitness focus. Better app. does a broader range of things really well (vs. the advanced metrics but fewer features)

Both had good initial reviews with DC rainmaker (GPS connectivity and HR accuracy are high rated in both).

I am still going to see what Black Friday deals appear, but thoughts are welcome.

whiteorchid, sorry those people suck!

I did yell at a driver yesterday. I was crossing an intersection and she didn't look towards me before she turned. Luckily, I was paying attention and stopped when she didn't make eye contact with me. As she was pulling out in the intersection I yelled, "thanks for stopping."

[mrs.jacinthe]

We've got the pest guy coming out today because I think we have rodents in our walls. (Thank GOD we haven't had one running around the house inside yet.). I hope this isn't too expensive.

[scm1011]

What assholes, whiteorchid. I'm sorry.

My boss encouraged me to play hooky today, so I decided to get my 20 done a day early. DS is at daycare, so I'm spending the rest of the day stuffing my face while binging Netflix. This is the life! Oh and I ran 20 miles and didn't die 🙌

[labbie]

whiteorchid , eff those jackasses. For real? I am so sorry that happened.

[eponinepontmercy]

I lost another earbud cover thing from my bluetooth headphones. I might just have to buy a new pair because I've gone through all the spares in my set and DH's. I'm going to try the next size up, but they are probably going to be too big.

[taratru]

At least it *is* sweat? Mine would literally be pee, thus always black tight bottoms. They're assholes.

It's supposed to be almost 100 degrees on Sunday. The FUCK?!?!?! And all next week, high 80s. I'm so over this fucking heat. I can't work out in the mornings anymore with my teaching schedule, and because it's been so fucking hot, I haven't run a single time since 8/5. I'm annoyed. But I *have* been using my end of the day planning period on Wednesdays and Fridays to go for an hour long ride, which has been really nice. But hot.

Damn the Vivoactive 3 is much prettier than my Vivoactive HR.  You were smart to wait.

Ooh- didn't know there was a new one coming out...I've been wanting a Vivoactive HR so can't wait to see what the upgrades are. Runs off to read DC rainmaker................

You ladies are seriously this best! Thank you for the support!

I'm happy to report that my day turned around in a great way. I had to go to the grocery store this afternoon, and there was a group of firemen there shopping. I even texted H an alert because I have a thing for firemen. One of them was so tall and handsome. He openly flirted with me! It totally made my day!

Omg. The MLMs never stop, do they?

That sounds like a perfect Friday!

[wineandcheese]

whiteorchid glad your day got better! I have a thing for firemen too, that's why I married one 😉

I need to get of my butt and run but I'm so comfortable on the couch.

[bostonmichelle]

whiteorchid, what jerks! I'm glad your day got better.

I've been in such a mood lately. I don't really know what to do. Like I just want to sit and do nothing but on the other hand I feel like I'm wasting what little precious time I have doing that and want to be productive then I just sit and play on facebook which doesn't help anything.

whiteorchid they suck, I'm sorry. I'm glad you didn't give them the satisfaction of letting them see you upset. Hugs.

AW: boyfriend surprised me with a Garmin Fenix 5S. I'm in love! (With him *and* the watch!)

Oh man, that watch is the first electronic thing I've ever really luster after. Jealous. I'm sure the man isn't bad either.

Garmin is now on my shitlist. The Vivoactive 3 is everything I wanted (custom workouts about dayum time).
