Second half-marathon coming up!

Legs are sore. It’s pouring out. And my cute pacing buddy from yesterday just invited me to spend a lazy Sunday with him… in New York.

In addition to all the drinking, I had only gotten 5 hours of sleep on Wednesday night, 4 hours on Thursday, and when I finally got home last night after all the flight problems, I chatted with my roommate and didn’t get to sleep till 1.

Drunken thoughts from the Philly airport

All I want is to be sober. Or in bed. Preferably both. I’m kind of strggling not to just pass out at the aiprot. Today I drank two entire bottles of champagne. By myself. And not good champagne – it was Andre. One was strawberry flavroed and one was peach. I don’t remember the peach one at all. I also had some assorted vodka and tequila shots.

Famous at last!

You know how everyone else with running blogs gets discovered by Clif Bars, or Mizumis, or other random running accessory places? My blog got discovered today by JetBlue. I am such a consultant. Further details to come (including answers to yesterday’s post) but it’s SLOPE DAY EVE! You’d think I’d be resting, but actually I’m getting my liver warmed up for tomorrow.
