5 miles after a Portland Shit Show!!

My wife and I went to away for the weekend to Portland Maine. It was a much needed weekend and I planned on taking Sean's advice and not running at all. But when we were checking into the hotel the clerk asked if I was there for the race. I had no clue what he was talking about but he filled me in quickly. The next day they were running the Portland Trail to Ale 10k. Perfect!! I could go running and have a couple of post race beers while my wife shopped away at the Old Port!! Where do I sign up!!!!!

We went to the mall to pick up some items that I needed for the race and then headed out to dinner. Before dinner we stopped at a bar on the waterfront to listen to some live music. This is where the Shit Show started! I started drinking Geary's beer, brewed right in Maine. This stuff is good and strong! At the bar a portly 50 year old lady started dancing by the band. She was a freaking mess. Here is a tip from Ross, If your belly button is down around your knees, don't wear a belly shirt. WTF were you thinking. My wife and I had a good time at that ladies expense.

After a few more Geary's we finally got to dinner. I ordered a 24 ounce beer brewed in Sri Lanka! That's s all she wrote. I was hammered, rocked, cocked, blasted, twisted, shitfaced, -whatever you would like to call it. Thankfully my wife drove home. Needless to say I didn't make the Trail to Ale 10k the next morning. I woke up with a brutal hang over.

I got back at it today, 5 miles before work! My legs felt fresh, the time off was good. I feel a cold coming on, not sure what it will do to the rest of the week. It felt great to be back out there, although running in the dark and cold weather sucks!

That's all for Now!! ross

OOPS..almost forgot the song of the day-Stuck in a Moment by u2
