I have pushed and resisted that relationship this past year through all the bullshit I have had to go through living with Herpes but once again, God is bigger than my stubbornness and broke through that outbreak cold sore and all I had Genital Herpes. For me personally, hearing over and over how I am not good enough has really invaded my mind in the worst way possible. I completely shut down and I was just waking up like is this how life going to end this temporary herpes outbreak “fuck everybody with herpes if you know what I mean” but let's be honest here...It is a cowardly to say no to herbal medicine. It is fear based. And it is dishonest to what my heart wants. Don't build a wall around yourself because you are afraid of herbals made or taking a bold step especially when it's come to health issues and getting cure. So many young men/ women tell me over and over that Dr Itua is going to scam me but I give him a try to today I feel like no one will ever convince me about herbal medicine I accept Dr Itua herbal medicine because it's cure my herpes just two weeks of drinking it and i have been living for a year and months now I experience outbreak no more, You can contact him if you need his herbal medicine for any such diseases like,HIV,Epilepsy Infertility, Herpes, Hepatitis, Schizophrenia,Cancer,Fibromyalgia,Fluoroquinolone Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva.Dupuytren's disease,Desmoplastic,Diabetes ,Coeliac disease,Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy, Ataxia,Arthritis,Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis,Alzheimer's disease,Adrenocortical carcinoma.Asthma,Allergic, Love Spell,. Email..drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com then what's app.+2348149277967.... My advice to any sick men/women out there is simple... Be Always an open book. Be gut wrenching honest about yourself, your situation, and what you are all about. Don't hold anything back. Holding back will get you nowhere...maybe a one way ticket to lonelyville and that is NOT somewhere you want to be. So my final truth...and I'm just starting to grasp this one..

I think it's because 1) the people in pretty parts of town don't want their streets blocked off (seriously, the san antonio marathon went by several missions and even more crack houses) or because I'm now spoiled by mountain runs, or both.<br /><br />Being stuck among walkers:word. This also happens to me in the beginning if I'm dumb enough to hit the porta-Johns early in the race. And what is with the incessant talking among the walkers? STFU.<br /><br />My blind kitten trumps your Lola, because she has cute + pathetic.

Possibly two.<br /><br />Don't feel special, though. That's how I am with all my used condoms.<br /><br />So you made your buddy buy you a $12 Starbucks coffee? Nice. Any idea how many condoms you could have bought with that kinda scratch? (I always think of money spent at Starbucks in terms of condom-purchasing-potential because Starbucks coffee tastes like jizz and and is even harder to swallow, even if you supposedly "love" the person who "gives it to you" (so to speak). Or so I hear. I wouldn't know.)<br /><br />Anyway, congrats on finishing a sub-6 marry. And thanks for the pic of Lola - still cute!Glaven Q.

At least in marathons you don't see the sun go down, and up, and sometimes down again (I hate that).<br /><br />I learned not to categorize the runners who pass me in my first marathon. First was the old guys (younger than I am now), then the women, then a girl about 11 years-old, then eventually a guy breathing through a tracheotomy stoma. I could either rail against the awfulness, or say, "Good for him!" I did the latter... eventually. Then I sat on the side of the road and picked flowers for a while.<br /><br />I still finished in 3:20, btw.<br />[Huge shit-eating grin]SteveQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16943650844671498074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1643429007621218084.post-90369127561487942862011-11-20T07:08:20.679-08:002011-11-20T07:08:20.679-08:00God, I love your race reports.

None of my 'how to run a marathon' books mentions that. <br />There ought to be a rule that race walkers are not allowed to pass runners. Another rule, old runners ought to be slower than I am. Aid stations ought to serve latte and lemon meringue squares. I can think of other things I expect and probably won't get.<br />Gosh, I am sure now your report will make me dream about my marathon.
