I bombed my tempo run today. Pfitz you're an asshole. 11 miles with 7 miles at tempo when you're running 50 miles a week is simply crazy. I couldn't do it last time I tried your plan and I couldn't do it this time.
I'm trying to Elsa it, but it's driving me crazy. My legs are tired and I'm just feeling so done. A bunch of my running buddies are running their marathons this weekend and next so it's going to be a lonely next few weeks. I so wish I was at taper.
I have a tri on saturday and my bike is currently in the shop, supposed to be done by tomorrow but I'm still antsy as fuck. I NEEEEEEEEEED my bike! I will not feel better until it is in my house.
mechanic at the century was helping fix my flat and when he held the wheel up and spun it to check the tire he was like, "uh, your tire is good, but your hub feels like it's full of rocks. Get that checked."
So we took it in and maybe the bearings just need to be repacked, maybe I need new bearings or maybe it's so far gone that I needed a whole new hub. goddamnit. How did I not notice that?

Well, it appears the raccoon got in our yard and decimated one of our chickens. DH is out of town, so I'm the one who got to dispose of the body. I also discovered that my flat iron can also be used to reseal packages of rat poison (thanks for figuring that out, DH! PS – I've been looking for that flat iron for about three weeks) I also have been at work from 8 AM to 9 PM the last two days, and getting up for spin this morning at 430 was ROUGH.
But! None of this matters because tomorrow I get on an airplane and finally, finally, finally! I get to meet my niece!
Our realtor is the.worst. We are closing next week, so we are trying to hold it together, but she has been full of bad advice and does nothing. We are running around getting stuff together for closing. Stuff that I am pretty sure is her job? Poor DH has been battling with the ridiculous HOA to get basic papers that everyone needs to sell and they are being so difficult and stupid. We legit called the title company ourselves to find out what was needed and what we need to do for closing. WTF. And I'm just salty because every time we ask for advice on anything she is wishy washy and says " what do you think?" I DONT KNOW, IM NOT A DAMN REALTOR. Ahh. Next week ya'll. Please let us survive.

I don't know that I've ever hit that workout! It's really hard. Effort is what matters, esp. after you had two races this past w/e. And you know, this ridiculous "Fall".
So, it's Autumn now, yes? Sure could have fooled me.
My shoulder is being an asshole. It took entirely too much energy to throw my arm over the water in the pool this morning and my pace suffered for it. I do NOT need any mental fuckery right now, body. Stop being a dick.
I had a minor meltdown yesterday about realizing my father is, in fact, going through with this shitshow wedding. I'm grateful I have some amazing friends that put up with that along side of me <3
Hugs my friend. Such fuckery that you don't need at all, esp. right before your race (it's a 5k you are training for, right I know. Too soon.)

I really wanted to make a joke about just running a 5k here, but cinco beat me to it.
It wouldn't be the final throes of training without some random twinges and pains, right? I'm sorry your dad is sucking at life. ((hugs))

Hang in there. Mr. GT and I were talking about those runs and I don't think either one of us hit the pace. Just a few more weeks till taper.
I am home with a sick toddler, but he is clearly on the mend and is destroying my house. Mr. GT stayed home with him yesterday and he was sweet and cuddly, punk!

useless realtors are the WORST. it's such a complicated process without good guidance. It's complicated WITH good guidance.
I shouldn't be going through and liking all these difficulties, but mainly I want to acknowledge I read them as I hear you! cinco - what a mess. And frustrating to have to pay her. Throughout our farm transition this year with a new business structure, new financing, etc I am continually amazed at the amount of 'professionals' that are either incompetent or somehow unable to do their job. Our lender had been very good, but otherwise it's been a long, hard road.
@vtcupcake-sending cool weather vibes. You have absolutely got this thing tamed and under control. The family stuff I have no good words for, but I'm glad you've got friends in your corner.
gt7301b NO fair! The only good part of a sick kid is the sweet/cuddly part.
I WANT TO RUN MY GOSH DARN MARATHON ON SUNDAY. Why does nobody in my life care how important this is to me??
I'll miss all the Saturday fun and expo, but I've got someone lined up now to get my race packet. And I think I have a reasonable childcare solution that doesn't involve my H. I'm scheming with everything I've got. I'm still giving the actual race a 50/50 shot. I hope that won't kill me with disappointment.

I'm exhausted today. I got my period yesterday for the 2nd time in forever which is probably causing my exhaustion. I started my new part time job today and it was really easy and fun, I work at a gym and watch babies while moms workout and this week is for founding members so we basically are watching our own kids but whatever. And I have an appointment this afternoon with my dumb psychiatrist who will probably not know who I am or anything which will be a waste of time and I'll go back in 3 months for the same thing....

Taper is such a mindfuck.
We are still waiting results regarding my Mom. Her biopsy came back last week "suspicious of lymphoma" but the tissue sample was inadequate. More tests this week and hopefully some answers.

I'm sure the waiting is awful. Hugs and good thoughts.
bostonmichelle -- I hope you can find a better provider if you are needing support right now. It can't be fun or helpful to feel like your psychiatrist is a waste of time.
mrshandy, thanks! I know this is a good and rational thought. I just really want to run Twin Cities. I've wanted to run it for at least 10 years, but I know fall is so dicey for me. My heart really is not into another marathon, and I really don't want to try to do another long run and continue training. My running the last 2-3 weeks has been abysmal. Which I suppose makes a person wonder why I want to run 26.2 at all.
That said, does anyone know anything about the PNC Milwaukee Marathon? Oct 15th this year, and I believe it used to be the Milwaukee running festival. 6:30 am start (OMG). My sister lives near Milwaukee, and I know she would love a visit and love to hang out with my DS. So. Maybe.
- It's still hot - I rolled my ankle on my run this morning - My arm keeps going numb from whatever this nerve bullshit is - I'm tired - Work is kicking my butt right now - On that line, I had a co-author completely hose me over and I'm pissed - My mom has to have a bone marrow biopsy and I'm kind of freaked out about that - Did I mention it's still hot??
