Happy Friday! You made it. Congratulations!
I have my final ‘long’ run tomorrow (14km) and then it’s into the last week of taper. Next Sunday I’ll be running a cruisy fun scary insane 42.2km.
Taper has made me lose my shit more than once, and I’ll tell you all about it in my next post (teaser much?!). But first…
Nearly Breaking up with Mr The Rake in Paris
Today I am guest posting at Live, Travel, Eat and Run with one of my favourite tweeps and blog friends, Amalia. Head over to see a story about Mr The Rake and I attempting to travel Paris, and show Amalia some love on her wonderful blog.
Here’s some fun!
Last night, Mr The Rake and I went to trivia (again) – here’s how it panned out:
Can you figure it out?
I’ll post it for you tomorrow – have a guess at what’s going on.
Make up a story based on the pictures.
Best story gets a shout out and the ‘royal treatment’ (blog post comment, retweet, your latest post on my facebook page and a lot of Kate love!). If you aren’t a blogger, I’d love to feature you anyway (if you want 
).
So, tell me the story – what do these pictures mean, and what happened last night?
Your Turn!
Ever been to Paris?
Got a crazy travel story?
What happened to the Rake and I last night?
I haven’t been to Paris yet! My little sister has ‘banned me’ from going to France without her, so looks like I’ll be waiting a while because she just bought a house!
Crazy travel story? Just one! Last year I spent two months in the US. The craziest thing was meeting my (now ex-) boyfriend when he was my waiter in a restaurant. We ended up dating long distance for 9 months. Another one? Oh, two bears came lumbering up to our Prius while we were camping in Yosemite. Gorgeous, wild…yeah and a little scary too
I am guessing that you and Mr The Rake spent last night trying to figure out the number of mandarins it would take to equal the pH level of a battery?

Lol! Tell her to hurry up and get a second job or something
. No, it’l be so exciting if you do get to go with her one day. I love that you hooked up with your waiter! Not so much the bears.
I have to say, so far you are totally winning on the story front.
i definitely can’t figure it out, and my brain hurts so im not gonna try to hard! ;o) LOL. i havent been to paris, but my sister has!! she absolutely loved it! she’s actually gone a couple times all over europe!!! i hope friday is amazing for you, pretty face!! xo
Lol! I’m trying to see what ridiculous stories people an make up. Same for your Friday!
Pens, batteries, oranges…looks like some kind of drinking game to me lol! I have no clue!!!

Lol! Thanks Mindy
I haven’t read the Paris post yet, but on my first trip to Paris with my husband (before we were married), I knew we were meant to stay together because we didn’t break up in Paris. That happened when we were trying to drive out of the city (we’d done the marathon). It took us three hours of going around in circles, asking strangers, trying to read French directional signs, etc., before we finally got out of there. We were pretty close to killing each other in frustration, but we didn’t, so here we are, still together more that 14 years. later. Off to read your story now.

That’s exactly it – not breaking up with your partner in Paris = together for life. Maybe it’s a test every couple should go through? That’s hilarious!
Ok – my theory on the photos.
You had to determine the average number of pips (let pip equal p) in a mandarin.
If you let d equal division of the mandarin, (although personally I would call them segments, so I am finding Mr the Rake’s algebraic formula a little wacky – but hey he’s got other skills besides maths), it is possible to calculate (that is why you had a calculator) how many pips in one division, and then extrapolate that into how many pips in one mandarin, and how many pips in 3 mandarins. I’m not sure why m for mandarin never shows up in the formula, and it would have confused things when Mr the Rake ate a mandarin in the middle of the whole thing. He should know evidence is important. YOU CAN’T EAT THE EVIDENCE RAKE!!!! There were pencils in case fingers and toes weren’t enough to count on, plus you got to do a colouring in if you got the answer right. But as there is no photo of any colouring in, I’m guessing that you didn’t get it right. There are 2 reasons for that – 1′you should have had m for mandarin in your formula. I’m guessing the a is for apple – that was a mistake – you can never substitute one fruit for another in mathematics, and 2. you can’t eat the damn evidence.
You had to
You made me laugh out loud! I would respond, but I just did….. you’ll have to check the latest post
