How do I delete my account?

Some history – waaaaay back in 2008 Facebook was what all the cool kids were using. Friendster was already collecting dust and Myspace seemed to have lost its luster. And classmates...? Whatever.

I was browsing my Sent Items folder this morning looking for something when I stumbled on this gem. I sent the last correspondence in this conversation on 12 February, 2008.

Apparently I had decided to try out this thing called Facebook and after signing up and not understanding it I wanted out. Hahahaha... I crack myself up. Anyway, here is that email:

Thanks Diego,

I just signed up to see what all the fuss is about and don’t use facebook so please do totally delete my account and confirm that this has been done with a reply.

Thanks,

Martin

Everyone in the pool, it's time for stairs! In attendance today were Jim K, Greg K, RC R and Ryan D. Nice.

We started off with two walkers and then alternated running and walking for the next eight. The last runner was Jim's famous up two sections, down one, repeat to the top.

I did not feel as stellar as last week but still felt pretty good. I'm sure the lively, non-stop banter from Greg helped. It's what I like about working out with this group anyway. Jim did well today, last week he was suffering and today he really pushed it on the 3rd runner and I had to work to hang. Ryan and I finished the last runner together and he demonstrated an old school aerial off of the concrete wall at the top. Very classy.

After we completed all the runners I went down one more time for my 'cool-down' walker and also to get something from Greg's car. Turns out he had parked waaaay down the road and around the corner. He was practically at I-5! So we jogged down, I grabbed my stuff and then jogged back and walked up. Bonus time.

There was one small patch of ice on Broadway but no big deal. And I dressed perfect. It was a great morning!

I was tired today! Not so much sleepy tired but the kind that makes you want to take a break from exercising. I think sitting at a desk in a warm office in front of a computer is not the best recipe for getting jacked up about your workout.

Core was kinda tough, especially the knee lifts. I just felt fatigued.

After much procrastination I finally got my ass out of the office chair and headed down to the IMA for my lunch time activity. It was a chore getting going but probably just what I needed. I've said it once and I'm sure I'll say it again, active recovery is usually better than just plain doing nothing. Once I got moving and got warmed up I felt better and my muscles felt looser. After I finished I hit the mat for some stretching and it felt really good.

Now I feel like I need to sleep about 10 hours.

Perhaps against my better judgment I joined Justin A and friends for an 'easy' 10 on Cougar today. I have been dying to do this run again and since Shelley and I had an activity planned for this afternoon another long ride was out of the question so in spite of the fact that it's still kinda long for me and in spite of the fact that I killed my legs yesterday I went. In attendance were Bill H and Mike A (not to mention Justin),  all super experienced ultra runners. And me. I have never run an ultra and was just recently back from seven weeks off. This was going to be an easy recovery run for them and it was going to be my longest run (in terms of distance and time) since my IT band got better.

And I made it! YES.

As I pulled into the parking lot the light rain was just turning to snow (it stayed snow as long as it precipitated throughout the entire run) so I put on an extra shirt.

As we climbed away from the cars the snow on the ground was so beautiful. The white reflected the light and really helped brighten up the conditions. Traction was fantastic and there wasn't even that much mud – I was surprised. I guess it's one reason these trails are so popular.

At first I felt super flat. No doubt from my effort yesterday. After two miles or so I was warming up and feeling significantly better. And speaking of warming up, I was worried while sitting in my car that my thin gloves would be totally inadequate and they turned out to be fine! No worries at all – I had dressed just right.

Shortly Bill was in front setting the pace. But then he had to fertilize the bushes so Justin was leading and that was nice as his pace was just that tiny bit slower. Justin had run the Fat Ass 50 yesterday and was pretty tired. Plus his Achilles was hurting him some. I was not complaining.

Bill was not out of the picture for too long... We heard him coming up the trail and on a longer climb when Justin had to take a leak he was back in front. As we climbed I suddenly realized that Bill and I had separated ourselves from Justin and Mike. It was fine at first but then I started to feel it. I was breathing harder than anyone else and did not have any zip in my legs.

ASIDE – I'm so glad I had woken up early and eaten something... I needed the calories big time.

It seemed like every time the trail tipped up Bill would pull away from me but because he was going easy and because he was working through an IT band injury himself I was able to catch up on each descent.

About 50 minutes in there were two times I had to walk for just a bit. To catch my breath and to give my legs a break. Finally we passed '20 minute tree' (as in 20 minutes to go) and I knew I would make it. Whew. I did not have to walk any those last three miles. I had to dig a little on the last couple of uphill sections but knowing I was so close to the end really helped.

At the end I was thrilled! I had finished the run with no pain, my shoes were super comfy (this was my first run in them) and I had dressed properly. The snow on the trail was a real treat and listening to Bill, Mike and Justin jabber away all the time is pretty f'n entertaining. Good times. And one of those days when you feel so fortunate just to be out here and to be able to do stuff like this.

To top off this most excellent Sunday Shelley and I drove up to the pass and went snowshoeing. It was the first time for both of us and it was a blast! We had intended on going to Hyak or east of Hyak but as we drove up they started to require chains... Note to self – buy an all wheel drive car already damn it! The cops were making everyone stop at the Denny Creek exit so we just parked and took off from there. It was so much fun! We will be back next weekend.
