The Running Thread - 2018

[TCB in FLA]

For those of you that did Mountain to Mainstreet, do you recommend it?

I graduated from Furman and love downtown Greenville. Seems like I could make it a 3-fer weekend!

I drove down from Asheville to run (about 50 min away). Although we’ve lived here for about 8 years (which is forever to this former military family), this was my first race in Greenville. It’s a point-to-point, and I thought the start was chaotic and cramped, but loved the Swamp Rabbit Trail. I was impressed how pretty Furman is (even welcomed that hill!) and understand why a couple of kids from my boys’ small private school go there each year. As mentioned, I was not happy with the race distance. The finish was fine, lots of snacks and the ability to pick up your shirt after the race was great. We took a Lyft back to our car (you could pay for a shuttle but I never saw one). Not sure if it would do it again, although maybe would do the Swamp Rabbit half in February.

QOTD Any Pooh fans? (edited to correct impossible quote)
“People say nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.”

“I’m not lost for I know where I am. But however, where I am may be lost.”

“Some people care too much. I think it’s called love.”

“It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn’t use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like, ‘What about lunch?’”

When you’re waiting to go for your Sunday run but there’s a pesky area of rain that just won’t move out. It’s been raining all day so far. The temp is only in the 50s so even though it’s not pouring rain, it’s steady enough that I don’t want to go out in the cool and wet. Hoping it moves out by 4:00 or so like they’re saying and there’s a long enough break that I can fit in my 4 miles.

Since it's been a rough week all around and @LSUlakes hasn't posted a Fun Friday Question yet, I hope he won't mind if I do!

Fun Friday Question: What is your favorite Disney quote? It can be from a movie, Walt, a song, whatever. Doesn't even have to be your top favorite, just something inspiring that may help make everyone's day better.

ATTQOTD: “You’re not gonna make it!! You’re not gonna make it!!” - Dr. Seeker

ATTQOTD: I’m gonna have a heart attack and die from not surprise!”

I don't mind at all! The answer is short: money. The longer answer is that my income is not keeping pace with the costs of life and something has to give in my discretionary spending - W&D is my least favorite of the WDW race weekends so, even though I enjoy it, it's the easy* pick to let one go.
(*It won't be easy at all, really. After the long, hot, FL summer, I'm always so excited to get back to rD again! ~sigh~)

Oh, ok. I wasn't sure if it was the race itself you didn't like.

I will make my answer my quote for the day.

It’s my text ringtone on my phone.

. It used to be mine too but when I switched phones from Samsung to iPhone I lost it and I haven't been able to find it for the iPhone.

I used Zedge. It’s an app that had ringtones.

QOTD: Which do you find to suck more, a cold during the winter or summer cold?

ATTQOTD: Summer colds! I'm not supposed to get sick during the summer, so when I have one I am very angry about it! I feel like I could sleep all day and had such high expectations for this week!

On a personal side note I watched my first Star Wars film in theaters this weekend. I dont know why people are so down on Solo as I really enjoyed it! I still need to watch the Last Jedi... Also watched Ratatouille on Sunday and thought it was a good little movie as well.

Summer, who the heck wants to get sick in the summer. It’s almost expected in the winter.

QOTD: Which do you find to suck more, a cold during the winter or summer cold?

I don't think I've ever gotten a cold during the summer! I always get them either in the spring (always just when I think I've made it through winter without one)...or after I get back from a trip. I think between the two, though, I'd dislike it more in summer because we don't have air conditioning and I think the daytime heat would make it extra miserable to be at home trying to get some sleep and get over it.

 

[apdebord]

ATTQOTD: Summer! I don’t get just a regular cold too often, but every May I either get a virus or strep. Without fail it is always on the first hot weekend without rain. And the onset is always on a Friday, which just sucks even more.

 

[GreatLakes]

QOTD: Which do you find to suck more, a cold during the winter or summer cold?

Summer because I expect to get a cold in the winter, not in the summer. On a plus though I'm more likely to still get my runs in while slightly sick in the summer as opposed to the winter so at least I have that going.

 

[Dis5150]

ATTQOTD: Summer!

 

[tigger536]

ATTQOTD: Winter. I rarely get sick but when I do its because it seems like the entire world has a cold first, which would be in winter.

 

[huskies90]

QOTD: Which do you find to suck more, a cold during the winter or summer cold?

ATTQOTD: Summer colds are way worse.

 

[run.minnie.miles]

ATTQOTD: Both suck! Somehow winter colds seem to hit me harder, but I hate getting sick in the summer more.
