Just sayin'.
Congrats to my buddy, Rob, and his wife, Pam...today's their 14th wedding anniversary and I guess it shows that there are people out there who are still happily married!
HUGE congrats to DIRTy reader, April, who finished her first half marathon in 2:17...that is incredible and she's my idol for kicking booty in that race!!!
So I have a confession to make...I was supposed to do a 2-mile swim from Hermosa Beach Pier to Manhattan Beach Pier on Sunday morning at 9am, but sort of got a little out of control on Saturday and sort of was dry heaving on Sunday morning and was too hung over to make it to the race.
This is the first time I've been so irresponsible and the first time I missed a race (other than one sprint tri last year during what I thought was a hurricane...I still cannot believe the event was held during that storm).
The odd thing about it is that I really didn't care that I was bagging on the race. I'm not sure if it's because I felt like I didn't have anyone I needed to prove something to (I used to think that if I did better in the races, that the husband would like me more), or if it just didn't matter because I didn't have anyone waiting for me at the finish line.
I also haven't been in training mode for the half marathon on October 24th and I'm not sure if I just don't feel competitive anymore, if I'm going back into depression and don't care about anything, or if I'm just finally losing my bitterness over the ex and his baby girl with big gums. All is to be figured out, I suppose.
Or perhaps I'm overanalyzing everything too much and my body is just tired!
I'm back to talking to my NJ cop again. Me thinks it can't be a good idea, but darn if I don't really like that guy...
That's my crap, now here's everyone else's DIRT:
