Sexual Harassment

Two creepy instances of sexual harrassment this week. I am going to look into some gel mace because I seem to be a magnet for this behavior lately.

Via FB comes today's account-

server- (not releasing my plate) are you sure you don't want gravy?
me- oh, no thanks. I don't eat meat.
server- are you sure? I promise there's no meat in my gravy. (suggestive smile)
me- no. (skin crawling).

And from twitter we have Monday's account-

just so we're on the same page. whispering 'i know someone that loves you' into my ear and then slinking away is fucking creepy and gross.

That second one came after I recoiled from the guy (I've had trouble w/ him before) because I thought he was going to kiss me on the cheek. I was browsing the internet on my phone in an abandoned hallway at the time of the offense. 

I am seriously done with this kind of behavior. Is it too much to respect women in public? Ladies, can you please raise your sons with manners and decency? Please withhold breeding with jerks so this behavior can stop. Women now and especially in future generations would really appreciate it! It seems no compliment is ever given to a female without a suggestion attached to it. These suggestions are disgusting and need to stop.

life gets in the way?

So my entry just got deleted!
Basically I missed about 4 days on my c25k training plan due to being out of town for a wedding and having crappy weather following two 12 hr work days. I should have taken shoes w/ me on my trip as I had plenty of time to hit the streets. Maybe the future workout me will have the foresight to plan ahead but I am at least recognizing what I can do better!

On other fronts, things seem to be going well. I don't want to jinx mysef, so no details!

I have come to find what conditions I run best in. Just enough sleep and an extremely empty belly. I had a moderate meal last night, got good rest, awoke around 0830 and only had sips of water by the time I finally left the house at about 0930. I am also not at all hungry when I get back in from exercising. It wasn't until about 1230 that I was like, okay, let me prepare something. Ended up making a really 'meaty' sauce and had a small bowl of pasta. I am trying to cook everything in my pantry and fridge in anticipation of the BIG MOVE next month. I am so excited :)

I've been really into this song lately. I love how Ms. Ditto kills it at the end. It's such a good motivator song. It has pushed me to do something out of character that turned out well this week so it's no big surprise that I found this on youtube today.



Enjoy :)

p.s. I am doing a 100 miles in June (anyway you can) challege via dailyrace.com. So far I have shaved 3 miles off and will do a couple more this evening. I love challenges like this.
