So apparently it only takes one glass of wine to twist my arm into an unplanned activity. Actually I hadnt even finished the glass when I agreed to run the Miami marathon. It is two weeks after Houston, so I am pretty much just going to suffer through January. I can take time off in February. Maybe I will be able to skip a hard training on Valentines day and actually hang out with Chris for once. I have no clue what I just agreed to do, but I am in Miami now and it is close to 90 degrees and 90% humidity, so I am in for a world of hurt. At least it will be another state for Chris to check off his list. I think I would have much more fun just doing a repeat trip at the W and watching the race from the bar. I was at dinner tonight with our agency when the talk turned from marathon to reality TV and I found another girl who knows as much as I do about the trash. She did give me some info that I am sure I would have learned from Perez if I werent on a plane last night. Kourtney with a K had her baby last night. I have no idea why I care. I also care that I missed the premier of Keeping up with the Kardashians. I am hoping that the BF didnt stop DVRing it to opt for the football games, but I can imagine he did. Especially since Bridezillas was recording at the same time.
On a better note, I was downloading the photos from NYC and realized I apparently didnt take nearly as many as I thought I did. I think it was because I was in charge of the camera this time and Chris wasnt. I actually only have three.
Fighting with my mom about taking off my sunny gs while trying to take a nice scenic shot in front of the park and holding my gap bag filled with our race tshirts.

Here is the only shot of the race. Apparently Chris and my mom thought I was running much slower than I was, so they missed me. They did catch my bro. Although he is mighty hard to miss standing in at a whopping 6'4" and wearing a Vandy hat that looks like a 1940s football helmet. I actually have the same one, but it is reserved for the house and races where I really want to get noticed.

And finally here is the tree shot. Chris's first time to see it. Probably because I was still trying to finish the race.

Im off to bed now so I can get up early and run along the beach. I miss the days when that was actually a normal occurance. Now I have to get up early so I can beat the traffic to get to the gym on time to run on the treadmill.

Fighting for a treadmill sucks...but it is impressive that you get up earlier just to get one. Somewhat passive aggressive, but it gets the job done I am sure... :)
