long day. 5k and a picnic and...
I am so sore.
Okay, so after getting 3 hours of sleep last night I woke up at 7am today to go do the 5k co-ed walk in the Race For The Cure. Heidi and Cory picked me up, and we went downtown, and registered and stuff, and caught up with Megan and Katie and Jessica as they were finishing the 5k womens-only run. Then we started our walk. It was pretty cool. We walked from the stadiums up to the Western Avenue exit of I-99, all along the highway, first on the bottom side, then the top side. It was pretty neat and you got a great view of the water. I took tons of pictures.
The only thing is, since I did leg workouts yesterday with Megan and Heidi, my legs were JELLY when I was done. Still, it was pretty neat. The cool thing is that it turns out my brother also did the Race this morning, except that he actually ran the 5k. So I called him and we talked for a while and it turns out he's coming out here the day I have tickets to the Mariners-Mets game! Whee!
We went to breakfast at Minnie's cafe afterwards and got way too much food, but it was fun to chill out with people.
I came home, changed clothes, and then headed out to Marymoor park for![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
megami and metroid23's party picnic thing. There were a whole bunch of people there I hadn't seen in a while; Kiefer and Fire, Laura, Fuj, Minwiz, DJ, Tanya and Charlie, Steve, Keith.. I called Edgars and he showed up after a bit too. We had a barbecue, and everyone else was playing bocci or however you spell it, the weird lawn bowling game. After a while we had a game of Ultimate frisbee, which was pretty fun, and oddly enough I found myself to be in better shape than several of the other people playing, even if I suck at throwing frisbees :)
There were these Amtgard or whatever people in the field next to us playing with big padded swords. Eventually they kicked us off of our picnic tables since they actually had the site reserved. We went and hung out in a field throwing around frisbees and stuff for a while. Keevon showed up, and Chris Foy, too. Around 7pm I realized that I'd been up for 12 hours on 3 hours of sleep and decided to drive home.
I nearly fell asleep on the way home, plus I am REALLY FUCKING SORE from doing the 5k and then playing Ultimate. So, sadly, I decided to just stay at home for the evening because I was worried about either falling asleep at the wheel of the car, or about not being able to actually walk. I've been in the Jorvik blockade on PP, and oh man, is it painful. Fuj should get here soon, he's gonna crash here and we're gonna go to the Mariners game tomorrow and watch Trailer Park Boys. Fun stuff.
I have cool pictures from today but I don't feel like playing with them yet.
Anyway, I do want to apologize totheadana, datavore, and loree for skipping out on parties. I have the worst timing with everything... I always wish I was invited to parties, then when I am, I go kill myself and can't go :(
