If This is Incoherent, Blame My Mom!
More about that later. Let's just say that if this doesn't make much sense, it is absolutely, positively my mother's fault. My mind may be working much faster than my fingers are, no thanks to her!
Tonight was week 2 of 6 of the hills. J wasn't going to be on time, so that left me in charge. There was a lot of bitching and moaning about various things that I just didn't feel like dealing with. People were basically not acting like grown ups, and to be blunt, I didn't want to deal with all of that crap. I won't really go into what people were complaining about, but the workout needed to get done. J wasn't there, things were in the past, we're in the present and need to move on.
Ok, now onto what I did on the hills. Tonight was meant to be 3 hills again. My goal for tonight was to run the hills slightly faster than last week. Last night J reminded me to not worry about pace on the hills until next week. As he and I both know, all I can ever hope to do is get up and down the hills. Most of the people I run with are much stronger on the hills than I am. All I can do is get up and down it. We were doing 3 again, even though I wanted to do four. When we do track intervals I can do more, but on the hills it is much more difficult for me. Anyhow, I didn't feel quite as good as I did last week, but I did manage to run the three hills a little bit faster than last week. The whole loop is a little over a mile and I did my 3 loops in 21:40, so I was a little faster per loop than last week.
After the warm-down, we had a little bit of a party with beer, soda, and snacks. I hung out there for a little bit and then had to head home. My mom was having some of her friends over for dinner and drinks. She picked a few of the people who have been exceptionally supportive of her through her entire journey through cancer. My aunt, her friend M (who she has known since she was pregnant with me and refers to herself as my "Auntie M"), J (who had breast cancer) and another J. I got home after the broke two corkscrews and decided to give up on opening the wine that I was sent out to buy today! I got the bottles of wine opened and drank too much (I think that this might be a record for me!).
We had a lot of fun. I love to cook, I don't know if I've mentioned that before in this blog. I made some appetizers during the day, especially one that I made for a party before that my mom was drooling over but couldn't eat because there weren't enough. We also had tomato pie, my second favorite food of all time (number one is soft pretzels, don't even go there with what I have said about them before-if you really want to know, you'll have to meet me and ask me!). Anyhow, we're 3 glasses of wine later and I'm blogging...it may be more dangerous than drinking and driving (not to mention the beer that I had after the workout).
All right, I need to stop before I write something that is regretable in the future!!!! (but I am having some much needed fun!)

That was a sweet drunk blondie entry!
I think we should all try writing in our blogs when we are wasted. It is so entertaining :)
