How can a day that has been busy so far suddenly turn into a load of crap and you just want to give up? This makes no sense, but man! I am just so ready to leave my hubby and his mother here and live in my car.

I know how you feel :hug:
 
Have you done any before? I've done a few races longer than 5k, though I'm usually too lazy to do very many. :lol:

Do you walk or run? Also, what's your pace? (My mom walks and my dad runs, so I know far more about the differences between the two than I could ever want to know, lol.)

Actually, It was my first time to run with 10K and I am hooked on running! I am glad that 10k was my first race instead of 5k. 2 members here on AD and I ran the 10k together yesterday. It was a rich experience for me and love it! We three chatted and ran at the same time, without stop but it was lot of fun! So I am looking forward to signing up more for 10K. I feel that 10K is good number of miles to run for me.

Sounds like fun. Surprising that you started with a 10k instead of a 5k (there seem to be probably 10x more 5ks in my area than 10ks), but it's good to hear that you're enjoying yourself.

How difficult is it to sign while you're running (well more, to see other people sign while running)? I've tried signing while sitting next to someone (or front/back) and... it didn't work well for us. Or is that just something you eventually "pick up on how to do" once you're much more proficient at ASL?
 
I have a blue one! :wave:

I did have a blue one until I sat on it and busted the interior screen. They had no blue replacements so I had to order maroon. Bad thing is I liked the blue color better. Oh well - soon I shall have black/aluminum iPhone 4. Just three more weeks. >.<

I'm not concerned about getting iPhone 5 as I suspect there will be no major changes until iPhone 6 or 7. I highly doubt Apple will allow FaceTime over 3G anytime soon, especially as AT&T is working on a 4G network as Verizon is too. There are apps I can utilize that will allow me to make video calls over 3G without using FaceTime. I will leave the phone as is until I find myself needing functions that are not standard. :cool2:

Hang in there, you'll eventually get out of the shitstorm. :hug:

LOl yeah it was pretty difficult. One person who has more experience than us but it was his first time to join the race. He has been running for a long time in his life. He did backward run and talking to us on and off as we keep telling him to watch out for something behind him. Most of time i was watching him or them talking on and off. some times, we were pointing at something and had brief chats on and off. you know? We did not have normal conversation, just some of words that we figured out what we were talking about. LOL We were having fun and running together, not to try to get the scores.

I agree about signing up for 5k for the first time makes sense. The reason is that they are more experience than I am. So I have been pracitcing with running to get warm up since last fall. Last two weeks ago, I finally made 6 miles to run . It seems to me that it gets easier and easier if you keep up with running. *whew* I have never thought that I actually did it. I used to hate running but now, i love running.
 
I used to run 5K races on a regular basis in high school. I was uber fit to the point the Army Recruiter took one look at my ASVAB scores and notices my 'fitness routine' and said "Basic Training would not be a problem for you." I thought "Yeah right dummy, I'm deaf. Uncle Sam wouldn't want me! LOL."

Seems like a bit of a wash, then (comparing trying to talk while running, which is rather difficult if you're keeping up a good pace, with trying to sign while running, which is difficult due to visibility and needing to watch where you're going rather than someone else's signing). I do find it amusing that the shorthands developed for communicating while running for both languages end up being similar, despite being entirely different barriers (ie keeping your communication briefer).

I definitely would agree that running is way more fun when you have someone else to do it with, though. I used to run a bit more (I've run a handful of half marathons and a single full marathon, after which I've not gone for a long run since, :lol:), and I remember training runs were always more fun when you had a few people to go out with, even if you're just running silently together.

Anyhow, congrats and glad to hear that you're enjoying it. Good luck with further races!
 
Thanks, StSapphire. have you thought of returning to run the race again, just once??

What happened? Please hang in there!

I have been catching him in more and more lies. He does nothing to help me around the house. He spends all of his time while at home laying on his mother's bed watching TV with her and no time with his own family. Most anything I cook anymore he tells me he can't eat, but let MIL take him out to eat and he can eat it. He keeps asking for more and more but doesn't give an inch. I'm the one who has to spend all day and evening with his mother and deal with her angry outbursts. She's constantly asking me about this and that, when it was a private conversation between me and hubby, and then I find that he tells her most everything we talk about. She is a terrible gossip and has already told her pastor most all of their conversations, so the pastor then calls me up hollering at me. Luckily, I can't hear him, so I never get the calls. It's just that my kids are subjected to it and it should not be happening at all.

I think more and more, it's just this crappy living situation and we are stuck here for another year. Hopefully I can last this next year.

I'm sorry. Is there no way you guys can up and move sooner? It sounds like a game of manipulation on their part. Not necessarily intentional, but what is found convenient.

I wish we could, but the money is not there yet. Beside, MIL will be giving us some next year when we go. She will have a CD (Certificate of Deposit) mature shortly before we plan to leave and the money will be ours.
 
I am thinking about checking my eyelids for holes.....
 
I'm thinking the Gen forum has turned into a Facebook update...what are you thinking, what did you dream, what did you learn, what time do you eat, what do you love, what the hell?! Also, a host of these threads should be placed elsewhere.

Where do you suggest?
 
KristinaB,
Sorry to hear you've been having a difficult time. I hope things will improve.

That is what the "general" section is for. Don't like the threads or category? Don't read it.
