Friday Night Lights

I should be sleeping. But I'm not. I am shoving some Pirate Booty in my face...but it's oh so good. If you've ever tasted the crack that is Pirate Booty, you know what I mean.

Tomorrow brings the last chance for a run at altitude before Imogene Pass, so I am hitting Land's End Road with my friend Jen who lives an hour south from me. Prepare to hear about how I sucked wind for 20-22 miles in some future blog entry-this is one area where I just cede all competitiveness and just enjoy the view. Although..I must admit that a little part of me wants to improve upon last year's Imogene. I'll see how it goes. Jen's the runner who is totally money and doesn't even know it so I know it's good that I'm running with her tomorrow on the Grand Mesa and not lollygagging around the riverfront trail for the umpteenth time.

In other exciting news, my maid-of-honor from my wedding will be here to visit for a few days starting late Sunday. She was my buddy when we were both students at K-State who would essentially shame me into meeting her at the rec center for a workout if I was on the verge of flaking...and of course, I'd do the same for her. It was one of those mutually beneficial friendships. I'm stoked to see her....she's a PT in the Kansas City area, and has also recently taken up a little running, so I think we'll be doing some hiking, and other fun outdoor stuff when she arrives. We just realized that we haven't seen one another since a mutual friend's wedding in 2001, so it's truly been a LONG time. It will be awesome to catch up.

Running and friends- you don't get a much better weekend than that! I hope you enjoy yourself. BTW, what's Pirate Booty?

i had to google "pirate's booty" to see what it was...i've never heard of it...i assume you were eating a cheesy curl snack and not objects obtained through looting or pillaging ( ;...
glad you will have some time with your k-state friend, it's always good to catch up like that...have a good long run and a great weekend..

LAR, Oz is right...it's a cheesy crunchy snack that's a somewhat healthier alternative to Cheetos. We're good old law-abiding citizens, so no pillaging, plank walking or any other pirate behavior took place while acquiring said snack food.

I had not eaten them in quite awhile but the husband bought a bag this week-so I of course had to eat some of them. ;)

Wait... What is wrong with Cheetos?
