Run, Run, Run

This past weekend was great. I ran 2 races, one on Saturday and one on Sunday. I finished the one on Saturday morning in 31 minutes, which I am proud of. There were several hills, which I truly suck at, so to still pull off a 10 minute mile was impressive to me. I was very satisfied! Oh, I also used a port-a-potty for the first time ever at this race!

It was held on the campus of Christian Brothers University and I walked around that campus for about 20 minutes before I realized that all the doors were locked and there was nothing but the port-a-john! Ewww! Luckily for me it had not been used yet that morning. But, it was obviously not a NEW port-a-potty so it was still disgusting.

The race Sunday was not as successful for me, but Kayla finished 2nd in our age group. It kind of irritated me because I would have finished right next to her, but I got sick half way through the race. It was over 80 degrees and half of the track was through a neighborhood where they had just paved the streets in. You could feel the heat radiating from the freshly paved black top and it was awful. I got sick on the actual track. Maybe if I didn't drink that glass of milk before I went to the race I could have finished 1st or 3rd next to my friend. It disappointed me so much!!! Next year I will place in that race.

Saturday night we went to eat sushi! ummmmm Eel roll! I tried sake for the first time! I ordered it and the waiter (no lie) says, "Oh, this will be funny!" Can you believe that? HAHAHA It was funny though. They brought me a tiny cup and a carafe of sake. It was so pretty. When you drink sake you get the burn from it being boiling hot liquid. Then, the burn from it being alcohol. I don't know if I would ever order it again, but I am definitely glad I had the experience.

I did not get a chance to finish up the last of the stuff for the party. I will have to be scrambling this week to get those little things done. Tonight is my husband's actual birthday so I get to give him his present! WHOO HOO!
