I lost my virginity
That's right ladies and gentlemen i lost my virginity...to the carlsbad half marathon. duh! so jenny and i saw this lady with a shirt that said "Half Marathon Virgin" and that made jenny and i laugh. and since we've never ran just a half marathon before, we lost our virginity. we're such running sluts.
So...let me tell you about our day. We woke up at 5am and drove our ass to carlsbad where there were a crapload of people. get this, at the marathon in the redwoods there were maybe a 5th of the people that were at this carlsbad one. it was kinda intimidating. but anyway...
thank god the mall was open because i really wasn't in the mood to use the portopotties. so before we started the race jenny said, i've peed, there's a keebler elf over there, i'm ready to go. I fucking lost it. there was a blow up keebler elf in the distance and i thought that was the funniest thing. then, oh god, it happened. this woman sang the national anthem. it was a fucking disgrace to our country. it took all my energy not to laugh. at the end i looked at jenny, and we just shook our heads.
THEN, get this. they started playing "footloose" when the gun went off and the fucking opera bitch started singing footloose operatically. (i dont even know if thats a word.) jenny and i then proceeded to laugh. good lord. that woman had no idea how horrible she was.
the beginning of the race was kind of slow because there were just SO many people around. i really wasnt expecting that. anyway, the course was beautiful and we ran right along the ocean. what was cool was that on the uphill slope jenny and i started passing a lot more people. that's right, we kick ass. Things to note:
1. on our way up the hill, we commented on how fast the people on the other side of the road were going. then a woman said, "yeah, well theyre going downhill."
2. there was a guy wearing mickey mouse ears.
3. there were people of all shapes and sizes passing us. more power to them.
We decided to keep the pace up around mile 6 when we realized that we were doing better than we thought we would...keeping in mind our half ass training. We pretty much finished at a 10 minute mile average pace...which we were expecting around a 12 minute mile. pretty fucking tight if you ask me.
It decided not to rain on us which was rather tragic. Jenny and i love running in the rain. oh well.
So pretty much i'm rather proud of what we accomplished. OH. so there were so many fans around with posters and noise makers and whathaveyou. there was this one poster with little running stick figure people around the border. they were super cute. jenny and i decided to get a tattoo of a little running stick figure with every marathon we finish. FULL marathon that is. no half ass ones. =) i'm really excited.
i actually find it kinda sad that i just started running for fun and i would mutilate my body because THAT means something to me. jesus, but what about all the years of soccer? literally over 15 years of competitive soccer and i would never consider getting a soccer ball tattoo? wtf? is there something wrong with me?
anyway, jenny and i went to the mission after to stuff our face with amazing food. to our surprise, my dear michael was working. AND our waiter was super cute. in fact he totally caught me staring at him. i was such a stupid delirous tired girl.
then we went straight to bevmo. i love that place. picked up some alcohol then went home and we FINALLY put banky in the trash. (banky=christmas tree) our apartment is clean!!! for the first time in over a month. but HEY who cares right? not like jenny and i have a crapload of people over all the time. anyway...
jenny and i cleaned, showered, and started drinking. and nina came over and we played clue, uno, and typecast. good shit man. i love games. theyre just so much fun.
on another sad ass note, i have work tomorrow. it's an effing holiday! oh well, i actually really dont mind that much being that work is starting to pick up. tax season and all. and no i WONT do your taxes.
get this, many people have asked me tax questions that i dont know the answers to. Listen, there are a million tax rules and i dont know them all! so get over it. and dont think i'm stupid because i dont know them all. eff you.
alright i should probably get to sleep. yay for sleep! boo for waking up early!
