NewTAN's Third Law of Motion (Page 11)

Hai Kiley!  Things going good?

My "problem" is I'm too competitive, even with myself.  I figure if I'm going out running, I should run.  Biking?  No coasting.  BUT, I realize if no one is watching, it's fun to free wheel and walk!  The only person that actually has a problem with me doing a run/walk is ME.  Which is totally stupid.  Also probably why working out isn't fun anymore.  Because of doing something I like, I turn it into a chore/work...  Mostly just to get it over with.

Same in the pool.  When I was talking the masters classes, we spent a lot of time on the wall.  Granted, a workout took and hour for only 2000 meters, but it was FUN!  If I'm by myself, I'm trying my hardest to bust out 2000 meters in 30 minutes so I can get out of the pool.

I run by heart rate so I can't say that I necessarily run by feel, but I'd say that more than 90% of all of my running is in zone 1 and recovery zone and so it all feels extremely easy.   Super easy stuff, in fact, and same as you meh, I've gotten faster just from consistency.  I've been at it like this for more than four months with my coach and next week will be my first bit of speed work, period.

I'd say that pushing yourself is definitely overrated.

one week at the beach gone, one more to go!

Sighhhhhhh

Red flags in doc socks world

1-Put arm through a window in the middle of the night
2-On medicaid
3-Doesn't return phone call for 3 days after asking to be seen sooner than scheduled appt
4-Didn't return said call until friday afternoon (Translation I am out of pain meds)
5-Admits to drinking 4 times a week TEN drinks per episode.........now in medicine we are told to double what people admit to on alcohol consumption.

Translation. No job, drinks too much with a temper. I can hardly wait to meet him.

I'm sure he's a nice guy

I'd say maybe no temper, but anyone that drinks that much has a temper (in my experience, anyway).

haha i'm glad you double what we write down.  because i sure know i lie.  doctors judge!!!

Alcohol consumption is hard for me to gauge. I will go months without a drink, but then have a few weeks where I have a glass of wine every other night, then have a crazy day/night where too much is consumed. So when I'm asked for an "average weekly drink count" - I have no clue, a total guesstimate. But you're telling me to cut my number in half since you will double it, eh?

Rule number 1 in medicine pts always lie.  I trust most people about as far as I can throw them

ahh!!!  i love italy!  cinque terre looks AMAZING and is only a 90 minute drive from where i'll be staying for work the next two weeks....hmm....weekend trip maybe?  had been planning florence and lucca for my weekend, but i'm flexible...

I have been seeing shots of Barcelona, Rome, and Athens during the World Cup.  Made me miss them and wish I was there.  It could be cool to be there when this is going on.

all those countries are OUT of the tournament though!  i'll be in italy for the last 2 games and had been cheering really hard for them because i wanted to see italy fight for the cup in italy, but alas, that was not to be.

Hahhahahah....  you said 'recti'.

JWKMH was visiting in Paris in 1998 when France won.  She said it was a huge party everywhere you went.  G1 is with us in the US right now but will be in Sao Paulo in before the finals.  It would be cool for Brazil to be in it, or the US but that would be something of a miracle.

Futbol is such a big deal the world over.  Did anyone see Anne Coulter's diatribe about soccer? I shake my head.

I just read it - it's obviously for shock value but has some nuggets of truth in it. For me, soccer is boring. I have been watching the World Cup only because I enjoy these "once-every-four-years" things in the same way I enjoy the Olympics. I also have been turning games on when I want to nap I could be convinced otherwise, but the scoreless (and even only one or two goals in 90+ minutes?!) games and fake injuries are turn offs for sure.

I do admire the running/athletic ability of the athletes, and love a good penalty kick shoot-out. That's good stuff.

i hate ann coulter.  i would have given the article a pass if it weren't for this racist little "nugget" at the end.  terrible writing, terrible article, and terrible human being.  

If more "Americans" are watching soccer today, it's only because of the demographic switch effected by Teddy Kennedy's 1965 immigration law. I promise you: No American whose great-grandfather was born here is watching soccer. One can only hope that, in addition to learning English, these new Americans will drop their soccer fetish with time. 

Yes, I know...  I have almost watched every single game so far!

I was thinking over the last several weeks, while still in group play, it would have been cool to be there.  They take it MUCH more seriously than here in the US.
