It was a good weekend. I’d forgotten what it was like to have down time — or to even be in my apartment at all — after spending all my April weekends thus far in Galveston, Corpus, and Charlotte. Before that was my birthday, and before that was the two half marathon weekend, and before that… Yeah. I need to schedule a no-activity weekend. Unfortunately the first potential no-activity weekend isn’t until May 19.
The Yuri’s Night 5K went well. I got a lot of good feedback on the course and lack of hoopla, and the weather was awesome. We had some mass confusion with the t-shirts (they were late, and then for a while I thought they hadn’t given us all of them because we couldn’t find the youth sizes) but in the end everyone got a shirt. We also had about twice as many people show up to register on race day than I’d expected — almost 40, instead of my anticipated 20. But in the end it turned out to be our second biggest year (out of four) and we made $1000 for the charities. Pretty cool. I’m very relieved to have it over and done and off my plate.
I spent Saturday afternoon relaxing and running a few errands. I got my car inspected and got a haircut. The salon was full of teenage girls getting fancy up-dos and curls everywhere. Yep: prom night. I never went to my own prom, but it was fun to watch the girls get ready.
Yesterday I thought about getting up early to run with BARC down in Texas City, but I was just too tired. I slept until 11:00! We then made the trek to Spring for Jen’s fancy bridal shower (as opposed to the casual one we threw in the 40 degree weather). It was very nice, but far away. Far, far away. Good food. Really good punch. Tons of presents. I think Baby has enough blankets to use a different one each day of the month. Jen and Gavin are going to have to have another kid just to use all the stuff.
I played soccer last night for the first time in months and am quite sore today. I guess I’m not as young as I used to be…
