So it turns out the guy I hit is a lying jurkface. Not only is he claiming $1000 in damages (I didn't even scratch his car one little bit! NO dents! Even if the paint was scratched, a bumper paintjob is only $500 -- I know this, I'm in the biz, y'know), but he's claiming injuries now. So I went ahead and turned it over to my insurance. They'll cover the costs, so it's nothing out of pocket right now, but it is possible our rates will increase come renewal. Luckily we don't renew for another 11 months... I've talked to three different adjusters now, and all are sympathetic, that it's really unlikely dude is actually injured and they are also dubious about the damages. I sent them pictures of my car, which shows that the paint isn't even scratched and there's no evidence of a collision, beyond the fact that I admitted to it. I just can't believe that mofo is claiming injuries. I've hit cars harder while parallel parking. Ugh. I hope my insurance will deny his injury claim. Our adjusters would. Seriously. Less than bumper car impact. What a fiasco. I can't wait 'til bike weather is back. I would like to quit driving please. Maybe I just need to suck it up and start biking in the cold rain now. Maybe next week...
My fitness has been faltering a bit. As expected, I have been totally slacking on my half marathon training. It's just not breathing down my neck yet, but it's not like it's the kind of test you can cram for. I know I need to work on building up to it. It's just so hard and unpleasant! Suck it up, Massie. You got this. Maybe. I also managed to gain 7 pounds in November, before Thanksgiving, even. So I've been working on undoing that, and I think I mostly have, but it was kind of a wakeup call, like, hello, you are getting too lazy again...
I still work out every day, but having a gym at work means I use it on my lunch break the three days that I'm there, and that means a much less thorough workout than I'd get at the real gym, because there's less time and less equipment. So I'm looking for ways to mix it up a little better and amp up the stuff I do on non-work days. Perfect days for adding mileage, really, except that I always schedule my free time to the supermax. I need to just put more gym time into the schedule. And get out and run more and just fucking do it, because I know I can. I just don't WANT to. But the more I do, the easier it'll be, and the less miserable...at least I'm trying to tell myself that. I'm also looking for a yoga studio. My gym has yoga, but it's not my favorite style, and yoga studios around here are pretty cheap (and also more common than Starbucks). Katy is coming to stay with me this weekend, and I think we'll try out a yoga place together. We're also gonna do some motherfucking baking.
Blazers game tomorrow with Rob. Rip City!
