Sure some of it ticks me off but I accept that there is nothing I can do about it other than bitch, which I do. But I don't seem to get as depressed as you say you get.<BR/><BR/>We all know what is missing in your life but I wouldn't take any bets on you finding it. <BR/><BR/>I was talking to a lady and she said “I really want a husband, I just don’t want him in my home.” She doesn’t even want him in her bed….. WTF? What does she want a husband for then? She can get a cat or a dog. I guess she just wants one to do the yard work for her, wash her car, things like that. What I would want to know is “What’s in it for me?”<BR/><BR/>Not much, that is why I don't allow them to get very close anymore, todays women are just not worth the hassle. They don't make them like Grandma anymore. At least not enough of them to go around.BBChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15323188240580782454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18449945.post-89514494319111399682007-05-03T07:51:00.000-07:002007-05-03T07:51:00.000-07:00yes, i want DETAILS!

Would having something else exciting line up for post-race day help?<BR/><BR/>Or, since those long, slow runs have the greatest effect for you, maybe you need to move firmly into the world of ultras and start training for a 50K and then a Hundred!

The slower runs don't cause a dramatic spike.<BR/><BR/>I don't want to sound like an encyclopedia here, but both serotonin and endorphins respond to artificial highs. When your brain detects their presence, it may stop producing its own, temporarily. Some people are more sensitive to these changes than others.<BR/><BR/>I wouldn't say to stop doing the races, but instead to prepare mentally for the crash. Be sure your blood sugar is not crashing as well. I would avoid vodka though ;-).Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12052461149278894648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18449945.post-62335726792825534742007-05-02T07:31:00.000-07:002007-05-02T07:31:00.000-07:00You know what helps my mood swings?

I can't explain it. <BR/><BR/>Probably cause I'm alone all day and I have too much time on my hands. When I'm at school, it doesn't happen, except during the weekends.<BR/><BR/>Although, I do enjoy being with my friends and talking up a storm, for me that helps! ;-)<BR/><BR/>I think when you have fit healthy ladies running along side you, it must be a little bit easier.<BR/><BR/>Moreover, with those thighs of yours, I'm sure they also enjoy the view! wink wink<BR/><BR/>LOVE YA!<BR/>xoxoxoxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
