Oh, and we had a 'boys night out' (always a fav of mine) in downtown San Diego. On the plus side we found a 'secret' bar (called the Noble Experiment) that had an honest to god fake door/wall that looked like a stack of kegs. This is an actual picture:
You're supposed to text ahead to get in. They laughed when one of our party ordered a Makers Mark. "I'm sorry, we only have small batch here." A) Awesome! B) Hardly fair for the order-er who doesn't even drink whiskey/bourbon/scotch. Poor bastard was just trying to fit in!
12/24/12 - Oh my dear lord we drank more than I thought last night because I. Do. Not. Feel. Well! Spent the day prepping for both present opening (including a poppyseed debacle) and dinner with the Foltz & Demsky crew. Ran 2.75 and nearly threw up most of the trip. Dinner & presents went well, everyone seemed to like their gifts. Baby Vivian is a big fan of the stuffed wolf we got her and Mom loves her Kindle Fire. Brother got me the best present of all, land in Scotland! Making me an official Lord! Boosh!!
12/25/12 - Merry Christmas!! Ran 1.1 before we flew out. Long day, got laid over in Phoenix for 7 hours and still just barely made our flight. Super thanks to Brooke & Bobby for picking us up, at the airport, on Christmas day, at midnight!! All we had 2 sandwiches and some cookies (thank you Jenny!!) until 1am when we finally got home and split a frozen pizza, yay Christmas!
12/26/12 - Recovery day! Yesterday was SUPER long and we're just relaxing and trading gifts. I got super awesome blue tooth headphones from Jess, high five wife! Had to haggle for run time since it's our Christmas day off together. Ran 3.045 (I got 21 min of time)
12/27/12 - Back to work. Poop to that! :( Ran 2.50 + lift. I actually ran 2.0 while I lifted but then another 0.5 because my rear tire blew, I had to take the damn bus home, and I was waiting so @)#*wU long for the bus I had to sprint the 0.5 from the bus stop to pee! *angry face*
12/28/12 - Brought my Motorola Xoom (which I love!) with me to the gym intending to watch The Expendables 2 while I ran 10 miles. It's 19 out and snowed last night, I am not in the mood to run outside. For some damn reason I am exhausted! I make it 5 miles, but 3 of those miles I run at 8 min miles, which sucks since my standard pace is 7:30 or less. When I get home later I ran 6 miles at a 7:05 average pace, so, what the hell!? Finished the movie though. Ridiculous and fantastic, exactly what you want from it. My favorite line is from Jason Statham though:
Stallone: "Why are you yelling at me?"
Statham: "Because you gave me the shit job! Next time I see you, I'm going to shoot you in the face."
12/29/12 - Ran 5 after Jess and I saw This is 40. Meh.
Total miles ran on vacation: 37.5!
