Time - where does it go?



Yikes slacking in blogger world again... One day its Memorial day weekend and you blink and its labor day...

well once again my consistancy with working out has become VERY hit or miss. I did however hit d/t chicago last thursday at 9pm for the Nike Hit Remix run.. talk about a fun event.. its a fun run, no chip timing, 5 miles thru chicago, a band at every mile mark and a party in grant park after.. went w/group from the run club... what a riot.. will definately put this run on next yrs calendar! but maybe I'll train for it this time.. 5 miles no training to speak of, equals sore legs, knees, etc..

I think the best part was a group of us wanted pizza and beer afterward, its going on 11pm and little did we know that side of chicago rolls up the sidewalks, we tried several pizza places no luck, till finally someone directed us to a place that stayed open till 2am... in we go, order food, then drinks, then we wait and wait and wait.... finally had to tell waiter, we need pizza boxed, need tab, we gotta run, literally, we have 12 city blks to go and a last train to catch or we are stuck in the city till wee hours of the morning - so out the door we go with about 20 min... 8 of us, eating pizza as we were walking REALLY fast to the train station.. got about 5 min now we are running the last couple of blks.. I mean you miss the last train and your stuck there till they run again in the am.... so we make it in the time of nick.. sit down, doors close, WHEW THAT was close.... ticket taker comes by and is cracking up at us eating pizza, then one of the gals whips out a container she 'borrowed' shall we say, from the resturant of parm cheese and crushed red pepps... I thought we were all going to pee our pants we were laughing so hard.
