Mileage Reporting 6th Week of 2013

One of them was hanging his entire body out of the passenger window and yelled at me, "WHAT are you doing running with no shoes on?" and I just looked at them and they drove off. It was not the first time I've been yelled at by people driving by and unfortunately this wasn't the worst thing that's been said to me. The a-holes who said "Hey if you don't need shoes you don't need pants!" top the list.
Klazzy with a capital K. It's just never occurred to me to shout stuff at people in the street. I'm almost curious at what point that sort of behavior seems like a good idea. Almost curious, but not quite.
I used to be self-conscious and aggravated by other people's comments. Then I realized that their comments were more of a declaration about their own level of maturity and insecurities, rather than about me. Shortly thereafter, I realized that there sure are a lot of idiots in this world.
Such a fine line between harassment-curiosity-compliments. Every compliment I try to give comes out as harassment or being creepy. I tend to just be quiet out in public.
Can you expect any different behavior from teenage boys? At least the driver wasn't texting or tweeting or snap chatting your pic. I do feel for the female runner, you must have to deal with a lot of crap.

I had a driver lady taking a pic of me one day. I was shocked to see that and am pretty sure I ended up on her FB wall with a caption along the lines of, Look at the fat guy running with no shoes!
Note: If you ever want to hike in Zion or Bryce barefoot, add hours to your hike just for the pictures. Must have crashed the Japanese facebook after an afternoon hike in Bryce with my daughters (all of us were barefoot) last fall.

I had a blog for a short time entitled Fat Girl Running
1:45 min of swim, with a few breaks to dive with my daughter, practice flipping in the shallow end (holy water up the nose, batman! thought i was blowing out the whole time...)
no idea how many laps. did a lap here and there, kicked across, then played w/ kids/ then did one of those side balance drills, then rinsed and repeated. Got my daughter to do about 4 laps with me, sharing a lane with a kind fella who had all kinds of lap swim toys (fins, and so on, who knows, i don't want to know, but the bag was full)
Finished with a few fun jumps off the diving board with my girl. Had to beg my daughter to do "just one more with me" then we could go. She was all "oh ok mom but just one more" so I guess I had fun, which was my goal for the afternoon.

Oh yeah, there was a fella today at my gym with some toys, too! First he's got a kickboard, and he does a few laps. Then, as I'm leaving, I see him pull out a snorkel and mask! Awesome! I went back to the gym later today to upgrade my membership and everyone was doubled up. Apparently, early morning is the time to go.
I heard some guy on the you tube say that the floaty they stick between their thighs and just use arms to do freestyle, that's a crutch and don't use it cuz ur form won't be relying on your body position to lift your hips enough without the floaty.
Saw it on the internet, must be true.
Bah, breathing's a crutch, too! Just hold your breath. Actually, I think that I impressed the instructor a tiny bit today. She had me sit on the bottom of the pool and blow bubbles. The running's done a lot for my lung capacity, so I was down there for a while. She seemed a bit worried when I came back up, until she saw that I was okay. Then she said, "Good job! Now do it again!"
I couldn't get all of the videos to run, but it looks like he has a lot of good advice. In a couple of the demos, his kick looked a bit "bicycling like" which is not effective. In fact, it creates drag and sometimes backward motion. I wondered if he was thinking so hard about demonsrating that he was exaggerating it.
60 minutes on the spinning bike with power intervals yesterday.
Today, I had a ver nice swim.

Hah hah hah!!! I ran a 5k Saturday morning. 11:12 mm, not bad for a now 40 year old, old woman, who has not ran even 3 miles since October.

Good hint for a Happy Birthday Jen! Welcome to the 40 crowd.
and I am pretty sure mine don't act that way either, but my Grandpa had a saying:
One boy alone = one brain
2 boys together = half a brain
3 boys or more together = no brains
