First things first: my precious has died – an instant sudden death. It makes me so sad. I’m taking it to the apple hospital today to get a new hard drive. Let’s hope they can recover what is on the previous hard drive. That really stinks. All of my six children’s pictures are on that precious! I’ll be sharing a computer for a while. A PC – that’s even worse. Poor Susan.
I’ve been a bad blogger/commenter lately and not only because of the death of my precious. Mainly because the identity theft thing has kept me pretty busy. I’ve had to check my credit report several times a day to see if stupid criminals are opening credit in my name. I’m exhausted and had very little sleep worrying so much about this – worrying that it will happen again. Stealing is wrong and I can’t understand why people think it is okay. I’m so tired and I just want this to be over.
Michael took me to the symphony yesterday to take my mind off things. I was so tired I fell asleep about 15 minutes after I sat down. Michael let me sleep until he noticed I was drooling on myself – then he gave me a strong elbow in the side. The second half was much better and I managed to stay awake until the end. After the symphony we headed out to a wonderfully romantic dinner and I discovered that indeed a margarita is not a martini – but three margaritas are certainly a good substitute! I fell hard asleep in the car on the way home, and to Michael’s dismay no amount of elbowing or nudging was going to wake me up.
Wait – this is a running blog so let’s get to the running part! I did manage to get 35 miles in this week – but – 20 miles were done on Monday (a good 20 too), three on Thursday and 12 yesterday morning. I wasn’t happy with my twelve, but I did finish. The twenty on Monday wiped me out and by the time I hit mile 7 yesterday I was all kinds of complaining. My IT band was acting a little strange – not hurting just making some noise to let me know that it was there, my calves were cramping and my attitude could have used a little adjustment. I really have no idea what to expect in San Diego as far as running is concerned – I’m just really excited to meet all the other RBFers.
She’s back!
A good week of running. Well done!
Could it be a sign?
I’m dying, but my wife convinced me that patience is a virtue.
It sounds like there are going to be a lot of RBF’ers at San Diego. Don’t let the thieves get you down too much. They can take away your money, but they can’t take away your dignity (that was my lame attempt at a motivational saying).
What a nightmare, I am really feeling sorry for you, that sucks, no other way to look at it.
Me love Margs, especially the fruity ones.
San Diego sounds so fun I am looking forward to all of the RBF reports/pictures.
ooh, i’m so sorry about your computer. and even worse you have to use a PC 🙁
Sorry to hear about your Apple, I’m sure it when to MAC heaven. The identity theft seem to be a growing crime, I hope you get everything settled soon. I say hang ’em high if they catch um! Good job on the running!
Good runs!! You’re gonna do great in San Diego!
Sorry about your MAC…I am a PC-girl, but any death of a computer is always tragic. I sure hope they can recover your pictures…that’s always what I’m always worried about. That reminds me to be backing mine up soon.
Identity theft is so wrong…. I worry about it all time and when I see financial institutions trying to sell me the service of keeping my accounts safe it makes my blood boil. How about not putting my sensitive financial information ON A LAPTOP!
Aren’t you supposed to be tapering? I hope you will now. You will do great in San Diego and have so much fun. I wish I could be there!
You’re tapering, right? Don’t sweat taking some extra rest days as you need them. Think positive for your race!
Sorry about your ID theft. I don’t think stealing is altogether wrong, but stealing from individuals is definately frowned upon.
oh man. MAC’s rule PC’s drool. i feel for ya. the apple doctors will hopefully bring precious back to life!! i’ll keep my i-pod wires crossed for ya!
as for identity theft.. have you seen flatman’s blog today? i think he’s suffering from theft himself. its very disturbing.
anyway… can’t wait for san diego!!! its going to be ridiculous amounts of fun!
I’m sure meeting other RBFers may even be more memorable than your marathon. Ah okay, maybe not but I’m sure it will be a blast!!
That identity theft thing really sucks. Did you know that as a resident of Texas who has has a beech you can put a lock on your credit report?? That would save you from having to check it all the time. http://www.bankrate.com/brm/news/cc/20030613c1.asp
And having to use a PC? Yuck! You have my sympathy 🙂
man, the ID theft really sucks. Good mileage! get to taper now?
You will be super at the marathon because you have trained so hard!
I would be *so* crying if my hard drive crashed. I can’t believe you are handling it so well. And I am so jealous of the RBF meetup. You will have an absolute blast. You will forget all about who you are. Or who else is you.
Awesome runs. Sorry to hear about your credit cards – that has happened to me and it really sucks – hang in there and I hope it gets better.
Wow! How reliable are those Macs? hehehehe JK That really sucks about your credit cards. I hope it gets straightened out soon.
As I always like to say, “A live PC is better than a dead Apple”.
Don’t worry about your shorter run. A good long run speaks volumes about how prepared you are for the marathon. Sounds like you’ll go well.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…Margaritas!
Sorry about your Precious, dear Gollum. And PC’s aren’t so bad…if you ditch Windoze in favor of Linux.
There may be something about your constant licking of your precious that caused it to die. When it comes back, please put a bag over it when you get all hot and drooly. It’s a short control device.
A symphony and dinne and you fell asleep, twice? YOu oh him.
The 20 mile run is the important run, the rest is all fluff … you’re ready …. “go susan, go susan , yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh susan” *small leg kicks, cause i’m not that flexible*
Speaking of drool, Moose Drool is a great beer Susan. Beats a Margarita any day. Sorry about the bad apple.
Poor Michael – I hate it when Niamh drinks during a romantic dinner and falls into a comatose sleep. There’s nothing liek that to kill a romantic evening.
As for your running, take it easy. Tapering means you’re going to get some rest from now on.
stealing isn’t always bad. i stole a boy’s virginity, but i was young, he was german, it was his grandma’s creaky house… bound to happen.
i’m glad you’re running again. i just hope you’re running happy. you should enjoy t he runs even when they aren’t the way you wanted them to be. remember, most people don’t run… ever. so don’t beat yourself up if you’re on a plateau or even a bit of a down turn. i need you to stay upbeat, missy! i’m in my own funk and am relying on www dot droolersusan dot com slash schnockered knockers to help me out.
i think you should run in the running skirt but have michael take a sharpie and draw a line up the backs of your legs and then draw a black band around it… mini skirt and stockings.
I’m so sorry Susan. What a pain in the rear. I hope things get better soon. And I need to come to texas and make you a margarita. My margarita’s beat a martini any day.
Not to worry. San Diego has margaritas and martinis too.
Stay tuned…
I can remember when your treasure arrived and now death??? I already made a cd with ALL my photos, just in case… thanks to remaind me.
I do love margaritas, I’ll make some for you come!
Certainly Kenza will be, she looks beautiful!
I’m so sorry to hear about the Apple. I know the switch the the PC seems unnatural and somewhat dirty, but it’s okay — we know you don’t really like it.
oh, you could also drink anything in a martini glass. i have a friend who gets too mean after a tini, so she drinks beer, but makes the bartender serve it in a martini glass… a beertini. so even if you can’t have the ‘tini, you can have the look. by the way, does not work for brown cows.
did you sleep in the car?
Hope the whole identity theft thing gets worked out. some people are just scum bags.
mmm margaritas! but you’re right martinis go to your head in smaller amounts.
20 miles, I thought you were tapering? Glad it went well though!
Hopefully they can revive your Apple – enough to pull the photos and other nuggets from your drive. I hope Michael didn’t pay too much for the symphony tickets…eeesh. Then again, sleep is sleep. Take it when you can get it.
Hi Susan!
I think this is my first comment on your blog but i’ve been reading it. I think the Margaritas brought me out lol. I just love them with salt on the rim!
Best of luck in San Diego!
Happy Running!
🙂
OMG, I think you might be a black widow for ipods. Great job running. Is the IT band where the leg meets the reat of your torso? I have a killer pain there from when I ran 2 weekends ago on a course with a ton of hills. Ouch!
Excellent long run Susan. You sound really well prepared for San Diego. An enormous thank you for helping me with my title line. I’m so happy that at last my blog is looking normal!! Hope your niggles sort themselves out. Don’t forget the stretching.
This is a running blog? I thought this blog is about tales from your drinking? 😛
Drooling si a good sleep. I always drool when i fall asleep in public transit :0
Sorry to hear you’ve hit a rough patch. Hope everything gets worked out. But hey you’ve got running, blogging, and magaritas to smooth things out.
That sucks about the identity theft thing.
The death of Precious sucks, too.
The fact that you ran, that’s good. It’ll keep you sane when things are falling apart.
Hang in there.
So…. no cause to lament the margarita, Runner Susan?
The ever pervasive id thievery! Sorry to hear. Similar with us two weeks ago: social security & personal info missing/stolen from our Wells Fargo mortgage account, so their letter told us. Their consolation: a free subscription to equifax. A bit surreal but legitimate news. Mean people suck. Maybe comedian David Armand could bring you a smile (it’s a youtube.com video). 🙂
