Does Uppie have a thing for self-induced vomitting or something?

There has just been one event to occupy my thoughts of late and that has been the marathon... the training has been intense and a little wearing... but the result was worth it... I ran yesterday and completed the event in a time of 4 hours 27 minutes... my previous best time was 5 hours 11 minutes... the four hours 27, to give you some perspective, means I was part of the pack... back of the pack mind you but at least part of it...

I ran non stop through the 36 k maker broke down... (that means got tired and walked) started running again and ran through the 37 k marker then broke down again... I walked to just before the 39 k marker took time out to vomit.. then ran hard the last 3 k's to the finish line... however there has been some serious physical damage and I expect to lose a toenail or three.. maybe more... ...

Ouch Uppie

Uppie Supports MASS Hair Spray Useage

hello all it is I Uppie the lord of the orange font... nothing much happening here besides hard work... though swimming has finished for the year... next weekend is Rotorua Marathon time.. and I have been training hard... hopefully this will be my year... the wife... you will notice the chattel slant to that statement... the car, the dog, the kids, the wife.. well she is away for seven days.. this being day six... it's not bad yanno being single... no moaning and whining... great nights sleep... and and and .. weeeelll it is a little lonely and the remaining kids keep coming to me and asking for stuff... she is in Christchurch (thats down the south island) with the swimming daughter at the Youth and Opens Swim Champs... the girl made a final in the 50 freestyle with a PB and did another PB in the final though did not get into the medals... PB by the way means personal best in reference to the time she swam the event in... sheesh keep up will ya.. global warming is very good for me and I want more of it... last year when I was doing early morning runs it was about cold enough to numb the fingers and other bits... but this year it is like a late summer here.. it is very warm... a big thankyou to fluffy bum and holly hock for the easter cards you sent me... as for the rest of you net bums... get with the programme ... dinner is bubbling on the stove and I have a last evening of peace and quiet before the wife returns... ciao for now and take care of yourselves..
Uppie...

You got to know when to holdum

Just a quick few words... Guru has been teaching me about computers... the other day I did 12 hour download... yes thats right my comp ran for 12 hours without hesitation, constipation, masturbation or any other breakdown.. then when I went to run the program... it went error message... I clicked ok... poof download gone.. all I asked Guru was "is the file still in my system somewhere" ? ... I now have full instructions for replacing my hard drive (with pictures).. thanks Guru if I cock this up I'll have no comp.. so why worry about a lost file... also I went to the casino the other day.. lost $200 dollars.. wife gave me another 100 and I won back my 200 that I had lost... then I sat down at texas holdem (this is for you Jerk) and lost 75 dollars in two hands... I got a pair of jacks in my hand picked up a pair of fours on the flop... bet hard... this asshole got a flush on the river... second hand I had ace king in my hand.. picked up another ace king on the flop... same asshole had a pair of fives in his hand which he bet hard on from the start... and he picked up another five in the flop... it was a 5 and ten table they were big pots... sigh..

thats all for now... Uppie
