What's got two thumbs and just hit Level 11 on Fitocracy?

Thumbup THIS GUY!

945 points for a 45-minute barbell workout. Not saying I didn't kick my own ass but - dayum! Bigeye I had to get in & out of the gym b/c I had a phone interview at 3pm. The interview was for the wrong position... but they still liked me well enough to pass my resume along to another team. "We'd love to work with you but your experience doesn't fit our open position... hang on... [mumbling amongst themselves]... we'll call you next week." Every job at this place requires a security clearance so this could be a big step for me, career-wise. Pray
Congratulations, VQ!!!! woot

I'd think it's safer to ask out people from meetings. At least you know where you stand in that department and won't have to have that conversation. /bright side

In the continuing saga of AM's Family Sucks.... I RSVP'd everyone for a benefit spaghetti dinner tonight in support of a mom at school/scouts who is battling cancer. 3 adults/3 kids for my sister, her kids and my parents. Guess who's probably not going to make it? Annoyed $45 I promised would be donated that won't show up. I wisely did not sign the crazy train up for the family walk tomorrow morning that starts at 8:45. They'd never make it in time. Doh
There's a good time to flip your lid, tell everyone to get their asses in the car and STFU.

Hmm.

It's 5k day!! Whee BT is sick, so he & LT and my folks will stay here at the house. No cheering squad just for me. Trying to be OK with that.

Aaaannndddd.... my parents are late. They should have been here 5 min ago. Annoyed
Good luck and have fun!!

Any time SD wants to do away with the stupid smiley limit...that'd be great.

Annoyed They took the long way back from my grandmother's nursing home. Didn't make it back to town until 9:30 at night.

As it turned out, BT puked all night, so the parental unit showed up at my place this morning to hang with them so I could run. So glad I had friends there to cheer me on!

Best 5k time I've ever gotten! 33:32! Flex

That is awesome!

So glad you have a positive outlet to burn off *some* stress. As for me I run a 5k in my house & yard chasing 2 little boys who thumb their noses at me daily. 18 hour days of this shit is really wearing me out. JJ doesn't meet the age requirement for preschool in the fall. I'm in dire need of a vacation, which to me is simply ONE night's sleep!

Shocking We're coming into summer here. I don't run when it's hot. I bet I could do it, though!! I might have to, just to say I can. laugh out loud Now that the race is done, nothing says I have to run 5k every time. I actually enjoyed the first 2 miles today. laugh out loud

Actually.... I just looked at my splits on Runkeeper:


Flex Boo-yah! I didn't know I'd managed a 10 minute mile! The 3rd mile sucked. Headwind and uphill. Annoyed

And check out my progress from Fitocracy!! I'm really quite proud of myself. Rock

Don't stop talking about it. Tracking your progress is awesome & you are helping to motivate me too. I got down to about a 7:30 mile when I was training for that zombie 5k but that was also on the treadmill only, not on the track or pavement. Now I'm gasping and have a stitch in my side if I try to go faster than 9:30 - 10 minutes per mile. I need to get that time back down & my cardio can sure use a kick - I've been neglecting it pretty badly since I started lifting again.

That said - I went with a buddy to lift today & did his program instead of mine. Different muscles worked = completely different kind of sore! It's a good ache, but I keep surprising myself when I reach for something and go "ow, shit!" laugh out loud

I wanna be all jacked like Lee Adama (me & a couple buddies are watching BSG all the way through) in a year. Flex

Flex That's the plan. Although I'm guessing she's not fighting 2 c-sections for those abs. laugh out loud I'm trying, but that's a tough area to make nice once you've let people move in and mess it all up!

Evillaugh I got snarked at yesterday when I suggested that my nephew who puked on BT was the reason behind BT's vomiting overnight the next night. "It's just an ear infection. It's not related at all."

Yeah. Same nephew puked again at 4 this morning and his sister puked around 9 this morning. My mom is green around the gills and in bed at 7:30pm with body aches, nausea and weakness.

Completely unrelated, I'm sure.

laugh out loud

To be fair, if somebody puked on me, I'd be pretty likely to puke right back on them myself. vomit
