Weekend
This weekend was the glorious road trip. Friday night was the drive down and we would up at Cuba Lake, crossing it in our tubes and taking some fun jump shots that will soon be on facebook, knowing me. Saturday was more at the lake and then our glorious trip down to PA. The detour kind of sucked, but we made new enemies, which did prove to be entertaining.
So a KOA campsite (or kampsite, as they spell it) is supposed to be a family campground. The people next door, unfortunately, didn't really catch on to that. They showed up around when we did with gratuitous amounts of alcohol. So while we were getting candy bling, feeding goats, setting up our tent, and making dinner, they were partying. Our 9:30 bedtime did NOT HAPPEN AT ALL. They were so loud. The one guy must have been throwing up next to our site for minutes and it was not okay. So sleep was not aplenty, but who needs sleep to function?
Today was the final day, the reason we went for out road trip: The Presque Isle half marathon. And we did way better than we thought. We ran about 8:00 miles, a little less than that for Erin (who beat me :D). Although the whole talking thing didn't last, we made it! And yeah, my sock was kind of bloody from some odd injury that I didn't seem to feel and my feet were coated in blisters. Oh, and my ankles nearly gave out when we were walking down to the beach. But overall, it was nice. It was so worth it and I would love to go next year. Just maybe this time with a hotel room instead of a tent at a noisy site on an air mattress that completely deflated every two hours.
So I think I'm taking two weeks off and trying not to pass out at work for the next two days. Tonight is going to be an early one. In fact, I think it's my bedtime right now.
