Is it sick that I think marathons are addictive?
I'm already thinking about which one i want to do next. Here's my vacation:
FRIDAY:
Hopped on a plane to portland with my dear friend jenny. watched mean girls on my laptop. looked out the plane at all the beautiful trees and mountains. met her parents at the airport. had hot guys direct us to the rental car. ate lunch at our hotel bar and grille. went for a little jog along a huge ass river. ate yummy italian food. bedtime.
SATURDAY:
Woke up and ate FREE breakfast. sat down and completed three, yes three, homework questions. room was freezing so instead of turning up the thermostat like a normal person i got back under the blankets and started reading. i wasn't very successful. i was woken up by nathan's phone call saying he was coming to get me. crap and a half....i should probably get out of my pj's. went out to lunch with good ol nathan. for those of you that don't know nathan, he is one of the nicest guys you will ever meet. it's funny, we actually hung out more this weekend than we probably ever did at usd. anyway, went to lunch, went to pick up AA batteries at his parents house (which really made me laugh being you can easily go to any store and buy them), met his mom who is absolutely precious, continued thru back roads and more beautiful trees to his house (yes HIS house) and we watched football and i drank a crapload of water. he has the cutest little house and i'm really effing jealous. moving on, ate a spectacular dinner at this restaurant that floats on the river.
SUNDAY:
woke up at the asscrack of dawn to run 26.2 miles. i was really scared that my knee would fuck me over because it has kinda been bugging me. but j and i were so adrenaline rushed that i don't think i noticed anything. the race was fucking phenomenal. around 8000 people ran/walked the marathon, 4000 volunteers, and a gazillion supporters along side the course. there were so many things to look at....the fans and all the crazy signs they were holding, the bands, the fat belly dancers, the drumline band, the fans dressed in giant fruit costumes (the blueberry was the best) and jenny's parents tracking us down at various points of the race. key things to note:
we ate gummy bears every chance we got and drank a shot of beer at mile 23.
jenny and i beat our first marathon time by one hour and ten minutes. just take a second to think about that. out of effing control. the race was surreal. it doesn't seem like we did it. i swear, if i hadn't gotten a metal, space blanket, and seedling i wouldn't have thought i had done it. it is such an amazing experience to run a marathon and i suggest that everyone does it at some point in their life.
here comes the good stuff....
jenny and i ate lunch with the parents and went back to the hotel...or so the parents thought. we walked three blocks to the nearest 7-11 and picked up two large bottles of aquafina and three 32oz bud lights. we walked back to the room, drank our beers and watched spaceballs. well, we didn't quite watch it, we were quoting the entire movie before it happened. and it was one of the best times i've ever had with j. we finally showered (ew we're gross) and we went to dinner (certainly buzzed) with the parents and nathan. we recapped all the crazy shit we did earlier that day....such as jenny taking the gummy bears and telling them that their life will have not been in vain. so funny. i'm sure nathan probably thinks we are retarded.....but at least we're entertainment. in fact, one guy in the race flat out told us that we were entertaining. jenny and i continued to down 2 more beers at dinner. we were feeling great after that. we went back to the room and nathan, jenny, and i continued to talk and eat sweets. good stuff. a perfect day.
MONDAY:
i didn't want to leave portland. something about that city consumes a piece of my heart. regardless...j and i flew back to sd. and we ate souplantation and i bought closer and garden state. we watched closer...which is a really weird movie. later that night, jenny passed out, i drank a bottle of wine and joan and i watched garden state.
an excellent vacation.
