But I'm really curious as to who owns Box 1300 that they're so anxious to keep their applicants' CVs away from.
Al Quaeda?
har. actually, box 1300 is the address that you write to if you have "intelligence to report"
Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

May I note that Kat usually did a ice bath immediately after running long distances? Not quite as much fun as hot bath and cold beers. But apparently more effective.
WOW! Kat is HARDCORE! I think I could deal with the pain the next day better than an ice bath.
I'm doing another 1/2 at the end of November. So it's like I'm doing a whole marathon this fall...just spread out over a month and a half! The one tomorrow is in the very hilly city. It's going to be kinda rough probably. But the one in Nov. is on a nice, relatively flat trail north of town. We're hoping it will be a cake walk compared to tomorrow's run.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
No chance this weekend? Ah, well. Phooey.Afraid not. I have a hair appointment scheduled, then I have to take one of the cats to the vet on Saturday, then Sunday I need some time for laundry and cleaning, since I may hava a house guest next week.
Possibly we could brunch or something next weekend?
Oh, yes please.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think I could deal with the pain the next day better than an ice bath.
It's not that bad, really.
Okay, it is that bad. But it is worth it, I swear. And, once you're out you're amazingly warm.
Think of it as an opportunity to refine your profanity.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Yay, Jesse! That sounds very exciting!!!
And, go, lisah, with the 1/2 marathon!

You'd think, but she and her other marathoning friends swore by the ice bath. Also swore AT the ice bath.
t eta HAR! Swearing x-post!

Oh, man. I don't know. That's just atrocious sounding. I'm in pain thinking about it.

Your tag here.
1/2 marathon...a cake walk
I can't imagine what it would be like to say running 13 miles is a cake walk. I've walked five miles and that was plenty!

but...but...I'm already a REALLY good swearer.
So maybe ice bath...swearing a lot...drain the bath and then hot bath? Would that negate the ice bathing?

How does one do an ice bath? Do you find a gym that has one, or just have your spouse buy lots of ice and fill up the bathtub at home?
