Weekend Recap

"Be in love with your life. Every detail of it." ~  Jack Kerouac

Linking up with Miss Sami for a little Weekend Update and a new link up for me...This Weekend I!

"And I'll be 40....Someday!"

Today is October 1.  This means that I'm exactly one month from turning the big 2-9.  ONE month.  30 days.  Holy cow.

The Opposite of  PR

I kicked off the weekend with the Hot Chocolate 5K.  College Roomie and I were not excited about the whole waking up at 6:00 in the morning thing.  We likely had the worst attitudes at the race.  I have not been running, I was not prepared, so I knew that it would not be pretty.  You know I always do three goals for a race:  (1) Not die; (2) Run the whole thing; and (3) Run it in under 33 minutes.  Happy to report that I accomplished all three.  Now, my time?  The opposite of a PR....my slowest 5K time ever (except my birthday race after a weekend of eating/drinking WAY too much two years ago, but since we walked most of that, I don't count it as a run).

But...you know what?  I probably learned as much from that as I would have from a PR.  There is no reason that I should be slacking and only running a mile or two when I work out.  There is no reason for me not to get back in shape and get myself another Half under my belt.  It's time to get serious.  But first, it was time to eat some chocolate. :)

We were pretty good at this part.

Breaking Kevin into the generally inappropriate songs on my playlist

Shopping Spree

College Roomie and I then did a little shopping to celebrate the fall.  I'm loving this awesome mustard color that seems to be all over every store around!  I also found a perfect fall flower bouquet at Trader Joe's.  So I bought it for myself.  Look, sometimes a girl just needs some flowers.

Football Time

Y'all knew that my weekend would involve some football.  McCain coaches a high school team, so College Roomie and I headed to watch their game this weekend.  It was the perfect fall day--cool breeze, beautiful trees, view of the mountains, and some football.  Hello fall!  McCain's team won 47-0 and since he coaches Defense, it was like the perfect game.  Nice work!

Perfect fall day.

Coach McCain headed for his halftime speech.

How cute is her outfit?  Very football coach's wife-ish.
Tami Taylor would approve.

 And then, came the big OSU/Texas game.  I don't want to talk about it, but you know I have a few quick thoughts.  That is why, Quinn Sharp, we don't miss field goals.  You cannot let tee other team be 3/3 on 4th down conversions.  I should never honestly think that I can tackle better than our defense.  Ever.  This "bend but don't break" nonsense is going to have to end. 

It's time to get serious, boys.  It's time.  I know that because I noticed a lot of curse words coming out of my mouth while you were on the field.  Never a good sign. 

And I am pretty sure I'd vote for Joseph Randal for President.  Heisman.  King of England.  You name it.  He's a beast.  Listen kids, any OSU fan knows that it's not always easy bleeding orange.  Apparently it's going to be one of those years.  I don't care if we're 2-2 or 4-0.....I'll still say Go Pokes!
