What's my problem? It's been so long since I've had a good run, I don't know what one feels like anymore.... I've been holding off, not wanting to write a post until something breaks in my marathon training... But the only thing breaking is me.
Seems lately, all I use this forum for is complaining... Which I do so well.But that's not the point... See--the legs are tired, the mind is tired, and the rest of my body is shot... I can blame it on age, heat, or even burnout I guess. Although, I'm considering one other option------ Stress.
I don't know who reads this slop I put up here. And right now I really don't care... Because sometimes I just have to vent... Click out now... I'm going on a rant.
There are 3 people who have put me in a foul mood... They will remain nameless (for now). I'm self-employed in a trade that's a little thin right now, meaning work is slower than normal. I've been through this before and I always manage to get by. So this may add to the stress, but it doesn't make me see red in the middle of a 18 mile run, like the 3 unmentioned people above.
They owe me money. Lots of money... Money I need to get by in these thin times... I provided a service the 3 separate individuals, handed them a bill and waited... And waited.. and waited... The first guy, (and its been over 6 months) said he's waiting for a closing. I'm not buying it.... The second guy,(and its been 3 months) said he was waiting for an inspection, then later said, he needed to close on some other property. Property that's not related to my job... The third guy, ( and I have to love his honesty) said he took my money.... One more time, he said he took my money to hire a lawyer so he could file bankruptcy.... He took my money to file bankruptcy. The sound of that sends me up the wall.
I've spent thousands of dollars in material, used my time to fabricate said material, and installed said fabrication... For what! For free... These 3 have lied, cheated, and stole from me... If you can't afford me, then don't hire me... And that's why I'm BREAKING DOWN!
Because of 3 losers, who don't pay their bills, is why I break down on a 18 miler... When you start messing with my running, you'll find out you're messing with the wrong guy!
Running is supposed to relax you, calm your nerves, you know work out your stress. However, when training for a marathon, you put your body through stress. You're not out for a Saturday jog, no sir... Your pushing to the max on long runs, tempo runs, and the lovely speed workouts... Stress, stress, stress... Then pile on mental state of survival, it's a wonder I can still walk up-right, let alone run....
I didn't want to write about this. I actually didn't want to write anything... That's what they've done to me. Put me in such a bitter mood, to where I don't feel like writing a post...
I'll get over it, unless I need to hire a lawyer to file bankruptcy.. Oh wait, someone already used my money for that...
My wife bought me some stress-free aromatic hand soap... I am washing my hands like I'm an obsessive compulsive.
That's my take anyway.
Maybe I'll be on the road, runron.

Put liens on the houses.
I'll come down an we'll bust some heads, that a great way to relieve stress, and then we can do a 20 miler.
-Brian aka "Vinny the Crunch"
I would go to Judge Judy for one and Judge Mathis for the other.
Seriously you need to take them to court. Not sure what the suit limit is for small claims court.
But it's been long enough.
By the way moms worried about you.
Of course she worries about every thing cept me. It doesn't seem to matter that we'll be out on our kiester in another month if Cathy doesn't find work.
Enough about me this is your time to vent.
I hope,which I doubt, that it relieved a little stress.
Yea, what Brian said. I have no idea what the lien law is around your parts nor the statute of limitations, but you may very well be within your rights to lien the properties and create at least some noise. Consult a decent lawyer (if you can find one) and put yourself in line as a creditor.
If you do bust heads, think of "running from the cops" as speedwork. I wish you the best in collecting your receivables.
Yeah, the liens are underway, but it doesn't help cash flow now.
I hate to whine about business on this blog, when I do such a great job of whining about my running.
Thanks guys for your support.
