OK the party in New Jersey was great!I love seeing all my college friends. But yes, I totally neglected to update yesterday, I did run, so let’s post that here for you to look at<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So this morning, I woke up at 5:30a, got washed up, got dressed and hauled ass back to the CT. Got in at 8, made myself some breakfast, changed into my race gear. It was raining a bit and pretty humid, so even though it was just a 5 miler, I went crazy with the moob lube (I totally made that up this morning, and totally claiming copyright on that; also, everyone else calls it body glide). Anyway, I met up with the club (Milford Road Runners) and I’m not usually a “warm-up” type person. But, I never run with my club, so I make an exception on this day, and we went out for a 1 mile, slow warm-up<\/a>. Then it was time for the race! I did pretty well considering, I did better than I planned actually. But I did not PR, it was too tough to breathe. What was cool was I got to run along side a few of my fellow club members at different stages of the race. But the coolest was, right after mile 1, I’m talking to Becky (club member and friend) and I look over and I see this girl (well, found out she’s older than me, but who cares, I’m like 13 at heart) and she has a very cool Milo tattoo on her arm, so I’m all “hey, nice Milo!” Which made her day, since most folks don’t know the Descendents \u00a0
