a case of the mondays

apparently by monday evening, life had gotten too hectic for us alders so we decided to skip out and go play in the snow for a mid week vacay

this is what happens when we cant take the "stress" at the "office". {notice the parenthesis. we do NOT in fact have "offices" nor really "stressful" jobs. its pretty awesome}

we stocked the fridge with everything we needed to make chili cheese quesadillas {or "cheesadillas" since the real name was far too long to say while on vacation}. we were set.

somehow in our cheese induced comas we found our way to wal-mart to linger in their isles and take in the sea of spandex and mullets. sheer lack of style mixed with self-confidence is astounding.

Thanks for all the eye-candy, Pinetop! Stay classy!

that was one dirty weekend

not only was our hotel "conveniently" located next to a gentleman's club, but chris, therena, and i and some friends got to roll around in some smelly, nasty mud on saturday!

for this 6.5 mile run,

the first 3 miles were uphill,

there were 2 mud pits with walls we had to scale,

(a lake we were supposed to swim thru but was completely dry this year-hallelujah!!!)

plus tunnels and a mud pit at the end we had to crawl thru,

all the while getting sprayed with hoses

and i finished it all in 1 hour and 18 min.

{not bad considering i jog 6.5 miles in about an hour}

yes, that sports bra WAS white

and apparently i'm not a "pretty runner".

gross

this weekend also consisted of food:

me constantly wanting it,

mom hoarding it,

and everyone eating it inappropriately {like having cold stone for dinner}

{notice the difference in size, and also the guilt all over mom's face}

a few other highlights

*Chris finally got her swedish fish. i on the other hand chose not to give up anything in preparation for this race, and rather decided i would continue to eat whatever i felt like. good decision on my behalf.

*our hotel had some mysterious smell. no cable. and a very interesting wake-up call recording.

*mom had THE BEST MEAL OF HER LIFE at Claim Jumpers {that would be the one she hoarded}

*i will forever be trying to find mom's "twin"

*there was a lot of facebooking happening and i was very uncomfortable with it all

*mom diagnosing me. turns out i don't breath properly

*chris picked up a very delightful infection in her knee which kept her up all night

*mom wondering if the gentleman's club was a bar

*we were still muddy after we showered. twice.

*and Marcie brought forth my favorite nickname of all, "Moose". now i just have to find that perfect person to call this genious name.

all in all, i laughed pretty darn hard this weekend!!

oh, and one of these 4,000 people gave me the flu. thanks.

thanks mom and marcie for being our cheerleaders!

please don't be upset. i traded in my unitard for some shorts just days before the race. disappointing, i know.

9 days and counting

and we will be muddy, sweaty, hot messes at the mud run

and i'm as ready as i can be. last saturday i ran

6.75 miles

straight

i have never in my life done that before

& when all was said and done, i was more shocked than i was tired.

but i couldn't of done it without my sista chris

she is a superstar!

and if you are wondering what this chick would possibly wear in a mud run, well you are in for a treat

well close. mine is black

i know what you're thinking, a-mazing right?
