Got up and ran by myself.  Cool and rainy but not bad.  Some what tired, just not feeling it this week.  Don't know why, maybe just not recovered from the marathon yet or maybe because I'm late.  Something.....

Late huh? Mmmm...

From josse on Wed, Jun 04, 2008 at 09:55:49

It is not uncommon for me.

From josse on Wed, Jun 04, 2008 at 09:59:33

Does that make scense? What I meant is that is common for me, esp. when I lose weight.

From Benn on Wed, Jun 04, 2008 at 11:50:48

Sorry to hear you're feeling blah :(. Hopefully tomorrow will be better! I've heard about some elite women runners not just being late but missing altogether for extended periods of time! Your body might just be telling you to get more calories but I think it's also a part of elite women's body adjustment as you reach that new level of training. Probably not something to worry too much about so long as you're taking a multivitamin and everything.

Oh Heavens!!!!

From Andy on Wed, Jun 04, 2008 at 14:15:38

I've been feeling really run down this week too. Maybe I'm late.

From Jon on Wed, Jun 04, 2008 at 14:23:12

Oh, I get it. It took me a while.

From josse on Wed, Jun 04, 2008 at 14:52:49

I'm not prego just late.... I hope!

From cody on Wed, Jun 04, 2008 at 14:54:19

From Walter on Thu, Jun 05, 2008 at 00:09:26

From MichelleL on Thu, Jun 05, 2008 at 00:18:20

Missing a period is never missed by me!

From Walter on Thu, Jun 05, 2008 at 10:30:57

Too much info michelle! lol just kiddin'

From Superfly on Mon, Jun 09, 2008 at 23:53:36

Too much girl talk going on here.

From Walter on Mon, Jun 09, 2008 at 23:55:57

So did you see the celtics kick kobe's butt! awesome. There was a guy in the second row with a blow up poster of the girl kolbe got in trouble with and it offended him. Go figure!

From James on Tue, Jun 10, 2008 at 00:01:57

That is my kind of talk Walter! Go Celtics!

From Walter on Tue, Jun 10, 2008 at 09:08:55

I was just trying to make this site a little more family friendly. lol Now I have to explain to my girls what being late means. Just kiddin ladies!

From josse on Tue, Jun 10, 2008 at 09:44:36

Clyde I am a girl, what do you expect!

and Walter you have to explain sooner or later and I think it is better to talk about all that stuff sooner than later. Because later is too late.

From Katie on Tue, Jun 10, 2008 at 10:05:11

Josse, I would not worry about your cycle being delayed. It throws me off too though. I usually give in to feeling crappy (and fat and slow and grumpy) and take a few days easy.

The physical and emotional stress of running a marathon and then getting right back into training (nice 5k by the way) could throw you off. It is not uncommon for me to miss even 1/2 year when training is going well and then during down time, revert right back to the awful reality of being female. Part of why I run so many miles it to actually shut down that part of my system! I have hormone levels checked almost every year and my doctor has assured me that as long as my nutrition is good (which it is) and so long as I do cycle 3-4x year, it is enough to remain healthy.

Guys are so lucky.

How many kids are actually reading this?

From Andy on Tue, Jun 10, 2008 at 10:08:39

I am so sorry that I posted a comment on this thread because now I am getting to know a lot of you more than I should.

From MichelleL on Tue, Jun 10, 2008 at 10:12:22

For Andy's sake, let me elaborate about my system--Sasha, can we add a diagram drawing tool??? jk ;)

From josse on Tue, Jun 10, 2008 at 10:12:33

Ya the only reason I hate being late is because of the reasons you stated above (feeling fat, slow and grumpy).

Andy this is good for you- you are a single dad to two girls arn't you!

From Jon on Tue, Jun 10, 2008 at 10:15:53

[covering ears] La la la, not listening...

From Lucia on Tue, Jun 10, 2008 at 16:06:54

Ha! No wonder this was the hottest discussion of the moment! I love it!

From Paul Petersen on Tue, Jun 10, 2008 at 16:18:47

Boy, I am sure am glad I clicked on the "Hot Discussions" to see what this was all about...

But seriously, why does this make you guys so nervous? Maybe I'm just accustomed to "girl talk" because my roommate is a girl...

From josse on Tue, Jun 10, 2008 at 16:21:03

I know I didn't think this would come about form my trying to figure out why I had been feeling so crappy.

From Jon on Tue, Jun 10, 2008 at 16:22:54

Not nervous. Just a fun opportunity to give Josse a hard time.

From MichelleL on Tue, Jun 10, 2008 at 16:28:19

Jon-Since this is a blog format, it may be more effective to cover your eyes (or better yet turn of your computer!!!) :)

From Jon on Tue, Jun 10, 2008 at 19:06:49

Powering down now...

From walter on Tue, Jun 10, 2008 at 20:56:27

jon--very very very funny! Josse, your right about telling the girlies in my household about the birds and bees. I had a maturation program and my daughter told me I couldnt go.

From Shauna on Thu, Jun 12, 2008 at 01:01:03

LOL! I know all you males out there are secretly intrigued: you keep coming back for more!

I read the post this morning and missed "the reference." It took all these comments for me to pick up on it...and I'm a girl!
