I feel like ranting
Quote | Reply
The weather here has been ass. I was supposed to be in Tucson all week but because of a last minute class change I couldn't go. I was trying to look at the bright side but the sun hasn't been out all week. It's Hawaii dammit. The sun is supposed to shine here!

This morning the pool was closed because of lightening. UH Masters never shuts down for lightening. And 3 miles into my run I realized I forgot to put a tampon in. And wasn't wearing dark shorts. Nothing like doing fartlek type intervals hoping there's no blood dripping down your leg.

Rant over.

I feel your pain. Been there.
The sun will come out again - I promise

I strongly suggest to eat some chocolate immediately. It'll help.

A good rant is always helpful. I've been watching your weather postings on FB and wow, you are really getting hammered. We get cold, wind and rain but rarely lightening like you are seeing. That would scare the crap out of me.

Were you headed to Tucson for a training weekend? You should come to Xantusia with us :-)

I was supposed to be in Tucson all last week for a training camp with the coach. One of these years I'll make it to Xantusia.

The other side of the island had a mini tornado (water spout) come ashore and do some damage. Nothing like mainland tornadoes. But stuff we don't get here. Here's a video. And some more pictures that show how much hail we got.

And to top it all off, I'm getting that cold or whatever that I've been bragging for 2 months I've avoided.

Just to make you feel better I was in tuscon this week and the wind stunk. I ended up going inside for a few workouts. Huge winds the last two weeks.

Yeah your weather has been really crazy lately. And that double-sucks re: Tuscon.

Just an idea: Go do something really stupid/crazy/out of the ordinary. Just for shits and giggles. Like: I am not a girly girl so the word "spa" is almost like a curse word in my world. But if I were in your boat, I'd almost consider booking myself a half-day at a spa, then have dinner at a fave place and then get really shitfaced. Like having my own little pity party. Or: stay home all weekend in my PJs and eat garbage food in front of the TV/PVR. Maybe load up some porn.

:-)

Hang in there.

I can't begin to express how funny and horrifying that is.

You want horrifying? The fact that this sometimes leads to an ER visit 2 weeks later....

I was going to say that. A good friend of mine is an ER doc and he's always sharing stories about what he gets to see. A few months ago it was toxic shock syndrome because of a tampon left in (forgotten about) for a few weeks.

I would like to thank GhiaGirl for sending all of that weather she was complaining about to the Pacific Northwest. We're used to rain here but it's seriously ugly out lately. Ick...gotta go wring myself out!

hehe. But isn't that what the Pacific Northwest is known for?

It finally dried out here. I finally went to the doctor about my cough/hack and found out it wasn't the cold/virus I thought...it was my asthma (probably triggered by a cold). Cleared up in less than 24 hours with a heavy dose of prednisone.

So now it's sunny and I can train. All is good :-)

And I'm done with my period so I don't have to worry about forgetting tampons for another month.
