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.
Too bad I'm states away. I would love to watch your adorable little one!

My knee has been bothering me since my half on Sunday. Every time I go up stairs, it twinges with each step. Then last night, the pain went completely away and it felt great. So I ran at lunch today. Now I can't get up the stairs again. Grrrr....
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'm sorry. That is definitely not something you should be handling on your own. If I were closer, I'd totally help you out. It's unfortunate that - as a realtor myself - I find that a LOT of realtors are that way. I should not, as the buyer's agent, be *bothering* you the day before signing to get something signed by your sellers that is a requirement to close. But here I am, sending YET ANOTHER email and making YET ANOTHER phone call. Oh please, let me do your job too. /sarcasm
Seriously, though, let me know next time you're moving and I can use my network to find you a fantastic realtor. We're not all bad.

LOL, I just realized I totally forgot to actually add my own whine.
I am SO. FREAKING. TIRED. It has to be medical. I find myself sleeping very well at night, getting between 7-9 hours of continuous sleep, etc, and I can literally barely keep my eyes open during the day. Last week I took an accidental four hour nap after sleeping 9 hours the night before. WTF could be causing this? I doubt I'm anemic at the moment, but I will be upping my iron intake anyhow. What else can I add? Magnesium supplements? HALP, this is getting awful and starting to interfere with ADLs.
Did you guys see the Boston cut off this year is 3:23? That seems so high. Woah.
I just saw that. That does seem high to me as well. I wonder what prompted it.
I was just coming to see if anyone had seen the time. I mean...it's just supply and demand. The cutoff has climbed every year since 2014. Just more people running faster times. Pretty soon even the BQ-5:00 group won't feel safe.
This sign was at packet pickup for my last race and I'm leaving the pic here because it sums me up pretty well right now. I've had a bad cold, insomnia, and a GERD flare up that's making me want to amputate my own head all within the past week. Add in missed workouts and a complete doubt about all the training I've done this summer and I'm a true joy to be around. Poor DH.
@vtcupcake, I'm sorry your dad's being a shitpig and your shoulder is being a jerk
I'm sorry to everyone else that's struggling too
That BQ cutoff is crazy. I know a couple girls who got in with 5+ minute cushions but damn before too long even that won't be good enough.
My only real whine is that it's F'ING HOT OUT KNOCK IT OFF MOTHER NATURE. It's supposed to cool down starting tomorrow but I'm hearing rumors it's going to get hot again next week. STOP IT RIGHT NOW. I know this is a silly thing to complain about but I can't help it.

Thanks dear <3
And this weather is bullshit, the forecast has lied the past several days about how hot it was going to be. It's hotter and muggier than Satan's taint.
Dude for real. It's fall, FFS. Act like it. If I wanted high 80s and humid as all hell, I'd go visit my sister in Tallahassee.

Hugs to everyone.
My finger still seems to be broken, almost 4 months after the fact. And it hurts more than ever. It makes punching the bag with my left hand impossible, and I really need it now that work is a shitshow.
And now I have a whine. My sister (whom we have hung out with all weekend and this afternoon) just told me she has a fever my niece vomited. I swear if my son gets sick (his birthday party is this weekend) or I get sick...😡
My thumb hurts when I hold things in flexion, so much so that my forearm hurts. Really? I have no idea what I did, so I don't know what to do to fix it.

Get your thyroid, B12 and vit d levels checked! And double check for anemia too. I have hypothyroidism and it’s very common and underdiagnosed in women...so that’s always my first thought.

I have a feeling they will change the BQ times again soon, I'm thinking 2020. IIRC, they did it in the early 2000's.

Possibly. I think they're going to have to sellout in week 1 before that happens. I think they want to see a cutoff of 5+ before they tighten them. (Although we very well could see that next year.) I think they want it to sell out every year (during reg registration) despite them saying they wish all qualifiers could get in. There would be much less hype if everyone got in, and then it remained open for weeks for first come first serve qualifiers. Cutting it before a -5+ cutoff would do nothing for them. The last time they tightened standards was 2013...so not that long ago.
Having to walk my scared nutter of a dog after running 8 miles in 90 degree weather should be counted as an additional workout for the week.
Kappy, it's just a leaf. Kappy, slow down. That jogger is not going to get you. Kappy, stop hiding under the bush. Do I have to come get you? Kappy, the man mowing his lawn actually can see you when you hide behind that stump.

And repeat.
My sister's dog is similar. Except she's an English Mastiff and is thus bigger than EVERYTHING behind which she attempts to cower - including my sister. she's hilarious. After spending a full weekend with us she would let me pet her, but only if I didn't look directly at her as she approached. she loves my kids though. They aren't scary.

LOL at a mastiff hiding behind a person. Kappy is terrified of kids (and men). His foster had kids who thought it was funny to chase him (in their defense, that's what they did what their "normal" dogs and it was a fun playtime!) I am curious how he's going to do with my nieces who are much calmer and will behave themselves around him.

My sister isn't easy for anything to hid behind either. She's all of 5'2"

My first dog didn't like men, but she came around to my H eventually. It took a few months, but she learned to love him.

I know it's Friday, but I've gotta whine. We did 2 crossfit workouts today in class (which we don't usually do). Jackie and Diane? In between when he was telling us the second workout I accidentally said out loud in a really loud voice, "ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!" Everyone laughed. I'm beat. This is on top of doing Murph on Monday and DT (?) on Wednesday. My poor shoulders.
