The Left Ventricle

What a great weekend! The weather has been absolutely PERFECT!!! Left work a little early friday, which was great given the late - ER nights during the week. They werent that late just more late than regular. Anyways, watched What Happens in Vegas, which i recommend to anyone who wants a good laugh. it is hilarious and totally awesome because its set in Brooklyn Heights and i have been to pretty much all the places in that they show in the movie. Went to dinner with one of my good friends from work and her fiance, and had a great time. Saturday morning, i ran the Great Pumpkin fun run (5K) which i hadnt run in a long time, a 5K that is. Anyways, i was really undecided about wearing my long sleeve shirt, which i totally overestimated how cold it was outside. it really wasnt that bad. so i ended up nixing the long sleeve shirt and just going in the usual comfort of my sports bra. As soon as the gun went off and we were on our way, i realized that i had a shoe lace that was hanging out and was too long, so it was tapping the ground the entire way and i wasnt about to stop to fix it. at that moment i realized that i would NEVER ever again tell someone that "their shoelaces are undone" yeah, i know. Anyways, my first mile was awesome 6:57, going good, second mile 7:08, and i realized i could potentially PR....mile 3...yeah had some hills 7:20 and the last .1 was in 1:01. i think though i started my watch at the gun and not when i crossed the mat. idiot. anyways, my offical chip time was 22:22. Met some friends after the race and we all went to breakfast which was delicious.
the rest of the day was awesome, went shopping for some new sunglasses which were a bday present from one of my good friends. hung out all day after that...watched football, went to dinner and went out wearing my hot new dress, which i TOTALLY love. Had a blast saturday night with my friends. the pictures are awesome.
this morning was a blast too...i was on the other side of the fence this time, as a spectator instead of a competitor. had a blast cheering for my friends and running/tri buds. went shopping and to lunch with my mom and then headed to my best friend from high school's wedding shower. that was a blast...then that is where i found out, that i got FIRST place in the 5K!!!! in my age group. totally awaesome!
