How has your Saturday morning been going so far?
First off, I did run the WHOLE 5k today, even though I'd been remiss in my training; that is, if we count it as running no matter how slow I go - 38:15 was my time. 25 minutes into the race, my iPod went on the fritz. To my credit, I tried to fix it, while still running. No go, but I have fixed it since then. (FYI - when an iPod freezes up, set the hold switch to hold, then turn it back off, and push center and menu for 6 seconds to re-set [thanks la!])
While I was standing in line for an outhouse I noticed a guy friend I used to sleep with about 8 years ago and his wife, (no, he wasn't married then) who's name I can never remember (the wife's - I know his name). I would like to say this was a guy I used to date, but that would be misleading. I immediately regretted my decision to attend the race sans grooming, so I avoided them like the plague.
By 9 am, I was seated at Hennesey's with a cocktail in hand . . . thanks to la for joining my friends and I for breakfast!
Now I intend to spend the rest of the day slightly drunk and laying around in the sun . . .
Hope every one else has a good weekend too!

Congratulations on finishing the race and hope your day in the sun is wonderful--there's a cold rain falling here.
Wow...38 minutes for a 5K, that's really...um...congratulations on finishing the race!
Also - is there some sort of blogging community social thing that's occurring that I'm not aware of? You and I should take the dogs for a hike sometime. I'm sure Wally would love to meet Hannah.
sage - thanks - 'twas nice here today, but we could sure use the rain
edit - the phrases you were searching for . . . "painfully slow", "tortoise-like", "almost geriatric"? But honest, my race strategy was SLOW and steady! :-)
Taking the dogs for a hike would be great - Hanna loves big male Labs . . . she gets all coy and playful - it's pretty funny!
Diane, you should have walked over and asked, Excuse me, but do I know you from somewhere?"
Thanks for including me, Diane. It was my pleasure! I'm glad you got the iPod fixed, too.
After getting semi-looped at breakfast, I went and saw Blades of Glory which is not art, but was good for some pure cheeseball hilarity.
congratulations. if you want to know how my weekend is going. well, you're looking at it. visiting people's blogs.
since i was actually back in town this weekend, and if i'd known you were meeting up with LA afterwards, i would have joined you all for a congratulatory drink!
Congrats Diane! I really need to move down to SoCal so I can go drinkin' with hot chicks, (Diane & LA) @ 9:00am.
My 10K race is in 3 weeks from today. I am so not prepared!
Congrats Diane. And what a beautiful and clear day it was Saturday in the L.A. / O.C. areas!
Mucho props on your 5K Diane! Way to go in keeping so active with golf and running. I'm slowly getting back into running/jogging so I'm going to use your 5K run as inspiration!
And I hope your weekend was wonderful, can't beat laying the sun. And while there's no rain up north (sorry to hear about the weather Sage), it's still a bit cold up here.
PS - lol @ edit and getflix
flix - oh sure, now you tell me!
la - it was fun! glad to hear Blades is entertaining!
kitty - the more the merrier!
ryan - I would like to do a 10k sometime too, but not sure I can fake my way thru 6 miles . . . hopefully this will get me out and running - good luck and let us know how it goes
dan and v - thanks!
Congratulations! I envy your fitness. I doubt I could make it three blocks without whining.
Hope you enjoyed your tipsiness. Cheers to you!
Congrats, Diane:)
It was a beautiful weekend here in Boston, so I'm sure it was even nicer in California.

Good for you on the 5K!
