Almost 7 months later the motorcycle replacement parts have been ordered, rather, the one really expensive part. But warmer weather is here and there’s a little bit of money in the bank so, its time to get that baby running again then start saving some money on gas. In other news, Terrapin Mountain is less than 20 days away. I’ve been steadily upping my running schedule, just hoping to get rid of this cold before the race and I should be good.
I’ve never been in a “life or death” situation (i.e. Jack Bauer situation), but I can only hope that if I am and there is a damsel in distress with me that she will not act like the girls on TV. I’m talking about the:
guy: stay here
girl: no I’m coming with you
guy: it really would be much safer if you stayed here
girl: don’t argue with me, I’m coming
or
guy: stay here
girl: ok
guy: TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS
girl: SNEAKING OUT TO HELP
bad guy: CAPTURES GIRL
guy: crap!
That whole routine is TIRED. Seriously, I can understand there is a highly elevated level of stress, and again I am basing this entirely off of an episode of 24, but I don’t think this is really the time to be arguing.
Just wondering if this is the case in actuality? Is it that they don’t want to be left behind? I probably wouldn’t, but its generally rare that you see the guys portrayed in that manner.
Well, what can I say, it snowed for once, mightily. Alas, that doesn’t stop work. Luckily Hank was gracious enough to help me clear off the car before work.
snow, actual snow falling in lynchburg, must have drifted into some new strange dimension where weather actually exists. this can’t last long though. more than likely the world will start spinning again and it will all be gone in the AM. well, today derekbennion and I made the training run on Terrapin Mountain, the very same mountain we will be attempting to run on March 28th. Around 10 of us made the run, started out a little cold, started snowing a few miles in and then kept going all day. I was expecting to finish somewhere around 5 hours but we managed to do it in 3:10 – (hours) *NICE. Now my legs want to sleep.
