Ah, just 13 miles.
Work is so freaking busy, yo. It's killing me. I feel like a neurotic chicken running around with its head cut off. Serenity now!
Yeah, so Grandma's Marathon was this weekend and my cousin and I totally kicked ass on the half! We thought we'd be coming in around 9:15 (it started at 6:45) but we underestimated ourselves - we actually crossed the finish line at around 9:05, making for a 2:16:50 adjusted time. Woohoo, right? Except the wonderful men in our lives decided they'd make it in time to see us finish if they rolled their asses out of bed and down to the finish area around, oh, 9:12. Men! We looked so cute in our little shorts, holding hands as we dramatically crossed the final line, and NO ONE SAW IT! Okay, a lot of people saw it, just not our significant others. Asses. We forgave them, though.
So I had my ritual post-race cheeseburger and snuck in a quick nap before making it to chicklet_girl's luau. It was so fun! That girl knows how to grill corn, let me tell ya. We're talking state fair-quality corn here. I just wished Mr. Jordan had come too so I could have gotten plowed.
All in all, a fabulous weekend. That was such a fun race, I'm definitely doing it again next year. I think my cousin has already made the hotel reservations. Hopefully I'll have finish line pictures in the next week or so.
On a final note, send some good vibes chicklet_girl's way - she is so close to landing The Job She Wants So Bad She Can Taste It and I am so happy for her! Good luck, baby!
