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.
