Who Needs A Mojito Time? ( Part 10... REHAB! )

Well it started out that I was in a leadership program with 7 other people, and one of them decided to run a marathon. (She had been in cross country in high school.) She told me I should do one because she used this book that said just about anyone could run a marthon. I thought to myself "There is no way in hell I could ever run a marathon."
The next fall, two friends who had never run more than a mile in their life ran the Chicago marathon using the same book. I like doing things that the average person would either think is crazy or just wouldn't do. So I decided to run one. I was originally planning on the Pig, but I had a choir performance conflict so I switched to the Cleveland Marathon.
I didn't find the CTF marathon team until about three weeks before the marathon when I was doing some online research about my disorder. I decided to do what I could in those three weeks and raised about 300 dollars. I wanted to run one last year, but too many things got in the way. (School, illnesses, and otherwise.)
So I am finally back on the wagon and training for my next one, with a much better system of support in fundraising than I had the first time.
(I probably should have given you the abbreviated version, but it is a good lesson for you to learn... Never ask a marathoner about training for or running a marathon. They go on, and, on, and on... Well at least most of the ones I know do.)

Posted: 2/18/07 at 10:42pmI'm getting ready for bed. I have been to work since Weds morning and am really dreading going back, esp. since Hubby and mostly everyone else I know has the day off. Oh well, could be much worse!

Posted: 2/18/07 at 11:33pmOh, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I'm so sorry, DD! You have insurance, though, right?

OMG. DD. I'm so sorry.
On a happier note, I just got back from 8 hours of shopping. I'm BEAT.

Yeah, I have full insurance.
It's just disconcerting to get to the lot and my car not be there.

Posted: 2/19/07 at 12:09amDD, that really sucks! Where and how and why? Do you drive a fancy car??

That's awful. I hope you are able to recover it. Have you thought about the possibility of identity theft from anything that was in your car that might have personal information on it?
(Don't want to make you worry more, but also don't want you to get screwed over more either.)
Sending good vibes your way.

Dang! You know, I hadn't. There are receipts and stuff in it, plus of course registration.
I hope it was just kids taking it for a joy ride.

The voices are nice on the new Company, but it sounds a little like a cast party at the piano rather than a broadway production. More later as I listen to the rest of the recording.

Posted: 2/19/07 at 12:59amApparently, in the "old days," people used to go to a lot of trouble to remove visible lines and crinkling from their clothing.

I understand you have to "plug in" this iron thing and wait for it to heat up before applying it to the garment. As Gunny points out, spritzing your clothes with "wrinkle release" is the only way to go.
There's even something called an "ironing board" that you have to use WITH the iron. It's this huge monstrosity that makes a horrible screaching sound when you erect it and put it away. Or so they say.
