HeyDisBotMcPhillyPeeps!

Hi everyone. I'm an angry overthehill woman today...but I have been all week. Could I be training too hard? I'm just soooo short tempered (pls. spare me the PMS chatter, I don't do the PMS thing). I find myself yelling @ inanimate objects latey, including cracks in the pavement . Yesterday I went to the gym & got on the dreaded dreadmill which I said I'd never do again, & ran 30, very slow mins. @ incline 3 as a "rest" state & mixed in 15 mins. worth of incline 10. I, too, had a little chest pain lurking! NICE . I have a hx of palpitations w/ pulselessness & have had everything done BUT a stress test. My DR first thought it was cause of my thyroid med , but alas she knows nothing b/c that's been adjusted & I still have issues. My new DR says perhaps I have runs of...wait for it V-TACH (real rapid HR). I've told her when I cough it usually "restarts" the rhythm back to normal, which, in her infinite wisdom said was "a good thing", but if that shouldn't work one day & should dunk my head in real cold water & that should clear things up ok (hope I have a cold bucket of water around if this should occur). Otherwise call an ambulance.

But I digress, I'm just so foul for reasons unknown . I think I may be suffering from delayed-post-marathon blues...

oooh, this is one ugly post. sorry Oh, & yes Cindy, you'll forever be know as the thread drunk , unless of course, I spiral into an intoxicated state of being over the next few weeks.

Maybe you should get a pregnancy test.

OK, just kidding... I work in the college/university setting and my DW and I always joke that whenever the female students go into health services the first thing they do (regardless) is have them take a pregnancy test.

It does sound like you should give your body a little break. Maybe you are a little overtrained, and could use a rest. Maybe you should take the weekend off - have a little 1 on 1 time with Bruce.

And then take a pregnancy test...

All right, I know I'm setting myself up for the wrath of Jodi.

 

[CynthiaCindy]

Why hasn't Jodi responded? I wonder if the computer made her mad and she broke it

For some reason (perhaps because I enjoy being mocked?) I decided to post a link on the worst race photo ever thread. Seeing as none of you know what I really look like (the tiny pic in my avitar doesn't really help), I figured I would try to make a good first impression. To be helpful, I have posted the link below.

Thanks Dave, I needed a good laugh today!

Thanks for posting the pic, Cindy.

What are you looking at? Was there a beer tent up ahead?

Not sure that I was actually "looking" anywhere. I think that is more of a "oh, please just let me make it to the end (where the free beer is)" face.

Ok, I get it, let's rank on the angry old hag, eh?* Allright, but remember, my mind is like a steel trap & I never forget a thing (no, Colleen & Sara, I haven't forgotten yet).* You'll ALL pay in the end ARGHHHH*

Cindy - LOVE the picture .* You look like you're, well....drunk! .* Speaking of which, I wish I had nice drink in front of me right now...

Dave - I was gonna make up a heinous story about how I had to have a radical hysterectomy after my son was born (or something equally as cruel) to make you feel guilty about the pregnancy comment, but remembered the good times we had @ MCM & what a sweet person you are & decided to spare you.* However, refer to first paragraph

Colleen - Thank you so much for your tender-hearted diagnosis & handing the official ruling of what ails me off to Mike.* Your sincere concern really came across...

Sara - I am glad that I made you laugh, because it really is a very laughable state I'm in right now.* There is NO Chi flowing anywhere (if there was I already flushed it down the toilet) for last few days.

So I will pick up my poor son from the library after work today & wait until the stepkids come over later tonight & take it out on everyone!!!** Perhaps if I drink enough , early enough in the evening , & eat a lot of cookies* I'll mellow out .* I'm not supposed to run today so I can give my body a break, but my mind is going to go insane 'cause I think I should be running** It's like a viscious, friggin' cycle!* Wasn't this running crap supposed to be GOOD for me????* UGH, I hate everyone! (insert smilie punching random people in the head!)

Hey now, we met in the flesh as you were passing me by at MCM !! I did like your race pic though

Jodi - We LOOOOOVVVVVEEEEE YOU Be nice to those poor children Less running more

Dave - Thanks for popping in and making me . Definitely a classic response .

What, now you can't even spell my NAME right? Oh yeh, I'm feelin' the love!

 

[CynthiaCindy]

Wow, this instant notification of new message thing is a bad idea. I have no self control, every time I get an email that there is a new message I check it. And then I wonder why I can never get out of the office at a reasonable hour.

I am so sorry !! I hate when people spell my name wrong . I'm just trying to do three things at once here at work so I can still get out on time, unlike Cindy, go home and take my anger out on my family .

 

[rKyDeX]

Great, now I've got the reputation as the team drunk.

Hey, at least it's better than the reputation that Colleen is building.

You people have to stop these posts; I've already spilled a beer on my keyboard and you are distracting me from yelling at my children!

Gotta go freakin' shovel again. Serenity now!

Um, who's the thread drunk now?

 

[Jodi]

No biggie, SaraH

Cindy - Don't you realize you're missing Happy Hour? . You're still the thread drunk, Steve's just the clumsy thread drunk. Although I'm honing in on your title @ breakneck speed.

Chester - I guess I'd rather be known as the thread whack-job-psycho-mom (NO WIRE HANGERS!), than what Colleen's working towards with her internet solicitations .

 

[Optimator]

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON AROUND HERE????

Ya'll are going bonkers!

Jodi - I'll get to you later (but you should have gone with the horribly disfiguring female problem story IMO).


Cindy - DW asked me today why you were drunk all the time. I began to explain how it was a result of the methadone clinic in your area closing and all... no, not really. Just some fun due to your all inclusive vacation. She gently reminded me that vacations don't count and further reminded me of the Sunday evening of marathon weekend '07 when I decided to make my way around World Showcase. Margarita in Mexico, pastry in Norway and France, beer in Germany (Extra large), China, Japan, Morroco, UK (XL), and wine in Italy. I couldn't make it to Canada .

Nice pic, BTW.


Hi Ho Silver - You need to focus buddy. Either yell at the kids or drink the beer. I hate so see either done half-a** because you're not paying attention.


Colleen - Thank you for calling Sara out on her callous attitude toward Jodi's impending mental breakdown and urgent need for a pacemaker.


Sara - See above. You should be ashamed of yourself! What's this? A misery loves company thing?


Dave - Comes out of left field with a good zinger about the the pregnancy test. Sweeet! That's a lesson in restraint that I just haven't learned. When picking on Jodi, quality over quantity.


Chester - Ditto about the jab at Colleen and her "friendly" ways.

BTW Colleen and Cindy, team drunk and team "friendly" girl often end up being awarded to the same person, depending on circumstances.


I guess Lou is still gambling? Black jack? Poker? Well, I hope he's having more luck with craps than Jodi does.


Jodi, Jodi, Jodi - Relax girl! You need to take it easy (not Colleen easy, although that may relax you some ). Breathe deeply. You don't have to run if you don't want. Watch a movie. Sleep late. Play the Wii and whack the heads off a bunch of aliens if you need to kick someone's butt.

Then again, run more if it makes you feel better. Come on down and run in D.C. with Cindy and me in March. I still haven't signed up for anything. We could all run the half together! I'll try to hang with you the whole time. I'll guard the port-a-potty door for you! Hell, I'll even drive you to the airport IMMEDIATELY after we finish.

I'll just be darn sure to run with a bucket of cold water in case you go all V-tachy on us!!

 

[WDWFLgal]

I'm a newbie to the thread thanks to Colleen. It's great that you're back into the swing. Hopefully I'll follow suit.
I haven't run more than a few miles since January & I'm starting to miss it. Lots of long days at work & long nights of MBA research papers.

I officially registered for the Goofy so I can't slack much longer. Scared but really excited

Anyway, looking forward to talking with you all more.

 

[Jodi]

Just an update...I've made it this far into the evening without a drink AND without yelling at anyone...although Bruce isn't home from work yet . Whew, I just hope that I have a good run tomorrow.

Mike - Thank you for your non-specific, yet sage advice. BTW, I have a lot of luck with craps, it's just at inopportune times!

Colleen - I will be purchasing you a "marathon-ho" t-shirt @ our next event together . Sorry, I just couldn't resist.
