Boooring Sunday

I was supposed to go to my friend, Alysha's 21st Birthday party in Palmyra, VA (2.5 hours away) today but have had some sinus funk and a headache since yesterday after my race so I didn't go. I was upset because I feel like I have always been saying no to her in the past year...but it's just timing that's bad for me unfortunately. I guess that comes with the territory of having a full time job, right?

I also asked Anthony if he could understand how I felt in response to the whole him hiking with Motown (yes, I remembered her trail name this time) and he said, "No..." then it got quiet and I said, "Well, if I was in your shoes and you were in mine, would you understand?" and he said, "No...but yea I guess." So that was my answer, and I know that it's a total guy thing. I can just imagine him not even noticing she was a girl, just like I don't think about my best friend being Japanese. Is that even comparable? Anyway, I feel stupid, and I don't want Anthony and my whole conversation being talking about something like this. I think it's just being apart from him that's making me absolutely crazy. CRAZYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

Fortunately, though, I will be seeing him on Tuesday and I know for a fact all these little feelings will dissipate and I will feel 100000000000x better.

So what did I do to prepare for Anto visiting? I bought him all his favorite foods to indulge in!! Yes, even mayonnaise. (Ew.)

Back to the weekend...

Saturday I ran a 5k Warrior Dash with some coworkers of mine! If you haven't heard of it before, it's a 3.2 mile obstacle course in MUD! It was SO MUCH FUN!! We had to climb over stuff, crawl under barbed wire, slide down a water slide, jump over fire, and swim through a 2-3 ft. pool of mud to the finish line. I loved every minute of it! Here are a few pictures.

Before the race:

Right after the race. The medals were given to everyone as they finished:

All clean and posing like a warrior. To get clean, we had to stand below people with hoses and they just blasted all the mud off us. Haha. Then we got a free beer when we finished, but I was so worn out I could hardly drink it.

The experience was amazing. I had to climb up a few walls with a rope and although I thought I would be scared, I wasn't at all. I surprised myself in that way, actually. I ran by myself a lot of the time, because I felt like I wanted to prove to myself that I can do it by myself without the support of someone else. Well, that and the other girls were going to slow for me!! Haha. I really want to do it again next year!
