moving on...
so the whole meeting new guys and going out with them and realizing that i was never really interested to begin with thing...
yeah. i'm kinda over that.
it was taking up way too much of my precious free time and one of them had cooties.
cooties that kept me from work for a few days and had me bouncing between feverish and woozy to dizzy and nauseous one too many times this week.
so. needless to say, that's done with... moving on!
in other news, i am feeling mucho better. not quite 100%, as my throat is still swollen and my appetite is still waning, but.. the night sweats/chills/sweats/chills have finally subsided and the headache's have quelled and i, my friends, am officially getting well.
soon i will be able to rock on with my bad self as per usual....!!
unfortunately part of my getting-wellness includes having not worked out even once this week, as well as side-lining myself at this weekend's Race for the Cure 5k that i'd been looking forward to, so that kinda buh-lows. BUT, all in the name of prolonged health i suppose, yeah?
and there are always other races.
that being said, this weekend i am, for the first time evuh, working a TNT Long Run Saturday WATER-STOP!!!!!! and i'm pretty excited about it, i'm not gunna lie.
tomorrow mark's the team's 18 mile run out at Shawnee Mission Park, the same run which i encountered last year so i feel as though this would be a good time to come chip in and be a friendly face in the midst of 18 miles of hills.
i figure i'll know what they're going through, and hopefully won't make any dumb remarks like "hey!!! only two more loops left.. 8 miles! you're almost there!"
soooo not what someone wants to hear on a day like that, ya know?!?!!
anyway, so thats my quick update. just wanted to let all of you well-wishers (thanks by the way!) know that i'm not longer curled up in the fetal position on my couch watching day time television and i've gone ahead and joined the living, once again!
i hope you all have a fantastic weekend of training, and for those KC folks out there running this weekend, i think a few of us will be gathering for group grub afterwards, so email me and we'll exchange info and hook up before and/or after as i'll be camera girl for the day! weeee!!

Hey only girls have cooties. Maybe boys who live in Kansas I suppose also but it is a cold hard fact of nature that girls have cooties.
IF you can't race or run it is great that you are helping out as you can. Good job on your part. I hope you continue to feel better and hit the road soon.

Thanks for helping out this morning! You run a pretty kick ass waterstop!

Wow, a kick ass waterstop?? I can't wait to hear what that was like! And of course you couldn't run that 5k after being so sick. i'm glad you didn't. you did a far better thing, helping out. kicking some waterstop ass! Keep on recovering, there will be other races.

Glad you're feeling better! It's no fun being sick. Also, that's good of you to volunteer. I ditto Bolder's comment, though.]

umm, just to clarify... i didn't pay for the service. i just wanted to fill out the personality profile part.
apparently i'm just the right mix of crazy and neurotic that there's just nobody to suite me.
i think its pretty damn funny.
