Well today was another group run day!! But it was different from other mornings for me...group run was moved to Sunday and it was after my birthday fiesta. Let me take a moment to set the stage for my morning run - last night I embarked on a journey with my favorite Texans. Destination: Dinner. Sounded innocent enough. Many hours and many beers later, as I sang Marvin Gaye loudly to my friends, it hit me that I had to run in the upcoming hours. I kindly asked the waiter to bring water, lots and lots of water. And so I sat in a sublimely happy state of beer fuzziness properly hydrated and oh so ready to be super athletic. Or so I thought until my body reacted quite violently to the poison I had filled it with all evening. So I spent my morning up until 4:15am being sick. You can then imagine the excitement I felt when my sister called me at 5am and yelled at me for still being in bed. Being a trouper, I jumped up and threw on some clothes and out the door I went.
It was definitely not the best run I've ever had. Being dehydrated really makes your legs hurt. But being slightly intoxicated makes it bearable... I did lose a contact around the one mile marker and had to run with my left eye closed in an attempt to not be completely dizzy. I am so blind that I actually thought my sister was up ahead of me stopped...but it was a street sign. I was told I looked like Popeye running with one eye closed. Nice huh??
I did finish though...which I am damn proud of. I looked like roadkill but there's really little glamour in athleticism anyway.
Tomorrow I'm starting my P90X videos! I am so excited. Watch out world!!
