I was reminded last night I haven’t exactly been really good about blogging about my races or life for that matter so be prepared for like 7 blogs in a row!
The Tavern to Tavern 5k ended up being rescheduled from the previous week due to Hurricane Irene, gee thanks! Not to mention I did lose my power that day too. Luckily I have good friends who let me hang out with them and use their electricity!
So since it was Labor Day weekend it ended up just being my friend Matt and me running. He ran with me for like 12 seconds and then I told him to run at his pace. Not gonna lie, this was a TOUGH race! I was not prepared for the hills and at one point I needed to walk but forced myself to run after a 2 minute break. I have to say these races that throw hills at the end can kiss my ass. Do they NOT know I’m TIRED??? I finished and collected my medal and started the task of trying to find Matt. Clearly that wasn’t working really well so I got my bag and went and changed. The air conditioning in the bathroom was cranked and I was so happy for that! It was SO humid that day! We got in line to get our free beer and food only to realize you needed a coupon for each, we used them both for beer. I supposed beer at 11am IS a meal, especially if it’s Octoberfest!

Went back to Kelly’s. Dave was in town and it was Deanna’s birthday weekend so there was plenty of drinking and shenanigans! It was all fun and games until I had a flat tire and didn’t get home until 2am! But overall it was an awesome weekend and another race in the books!
