last night i was treated to a delicious alaskan feast. nick and steph brought all sorts of food back from their trip home to alaska for the holidays, and fed us all at edgar and betsy’s last night. there was alaskan beer (like 3 different kinds), two kinds of smoked salmon, blackened salmon, grilled salmon, king crab legs, beer-battered halibut, and moose. it was all delicious. i think my favorites were the halibut and the smoked salmon. the moose tasted pretty much like pot roast. the beer was good.
it was all good, and i was stuffed by the end. i had only planned on staying long enough to eat and chat briefly, because i was pretty tired. buzz and i ran last night (i went two laps, 5.8 miles), then i went home to shower quickly before heading over to the alaskan feast. add to that hecticness the fact that i haven’t slept well the past few nights, and i was pooped. but the food was so good, and the people were so entertaining, and nacho was talking to me in excited spanish, and we were all having a good time…and next thing i knew it was 10:00, and so i am still sleepy today. i need to get some serious sleep before the half marathon on sunday.
i met with the people at challenger park this morning about having our yuri’s night race there, and the news is excellent! they approved of our plans, and so we are truly off and “running” now. i’m a race director. yee! i am excited.
