Intense Weekend
Where to begin? I had a lovely night out with HW and friends on Friday evening where we enjoyed beers and tacos at a local Mexican place. I was in bed by 10pm as it felt like it had been a long week.
Saturday morning I had the best run yet! I went 5.59 miles in 55 minutes. The weather was chilly and there were scattered sprinkles of rain. I had a blast running through the part of the park I hadn't yet explored. I ran out of a tunnel like I was entering the Olympic Stadium to cheering fans, I smiled at other runners and they smiled back, I invited the rain on my face to keep me cool, and I ended up jogging through a 5K and laughing with the race volunteers about just cutting through for my morning jog.
The best part was that the 5K was BarkForTheCure.com a run benefiting canine cancer research. I had considered signing up for this run a month ago but forgot all about it. I ended up running with the dogs - literally - on Saturday anyway. LOL
Saturday afternoon I rode the Metro train to meet up with Thom at the outdoor festival. The event had decided that there wouldn't allow camping. Which was good since the weather had dropped about 40 degrees on Saturday and I was freezing my butt off at the festival. I ended up getting extremely sick on something I took and was miserable for most of the evening.
Our friends wrapped me up since I wasn't able to go home yet and I people watched which was rather fun. Lots of people at the event were dressed in costume. Several people sat next to me and chatted with me so the evening wasn't a complete waste for me. I had wanted to go dancing but my legs were too tired from the run and getting sick.
Thom had to stay to help put away the exhibit that his group had brought. Not to mention that before I got sick we had taken a few shots and neither of us could drive till the end of the night. Thom and I had a serious talk about my taking it easy when I'm training especially on a day I had just run 5 miles. Not to mention that after losing so much weight, I can't handle as much as I used to. My tolerance is super low.
So just a beer here and there for me until after the Half Marathon (in 39 days!).
