drammatical

I was supposed to run the San Marino 5K on Friday but some peeps couldn't make it so AA and I met at the Rose Bowl instead and did our own 5K. It was fun as we did the outside hills and wasn’t too hot, yet. Afterwards, we ended up in Old Town for some breakfast & my caffeine fix. I got some more books; I swear I’m going to have to be banned from bookstores pretty soon, and more caffeine. We ended up seeing one of the C-clan members which is funny since he lives super far and so do I. Whenever in Pasadena some familiar face always pops up. Ended up at my parents and mom and I went shopping, again. Telling you, I need some sort of restraint.

Once I got home home N and I went for drinks and ended up at a new sushi place in Monrovia. Well new to us at least since they’ve been around for 1.5yrs now. It was tasty and we’d definitely make the trek down there again. Since it was 4th of July everyone and there mother was out there on the street waiting for some sort of firework extravaganza. N and I took a short walk and we ended up spotting some of the workout buffs. See, it was a weekend full of familiar faces. Saw the extravaganza and headed home. The end.

Saturday I met with some more workout buffs now deemed martyroners. This group is training for the Pasadena marathon and are some serious souls. I’m just out there for the extra training and running. You can never get too much running in. Also, I am planning on running a half in October so this is training for me too I guess.

Last week was my first ever 6 miler and was quite surprised I was able to go the whole distance non-stop. My time last week was 1.05 and my time this week was 1.09. There was a killer hill this week so I’m hoping that was part of the extra 4 minutes. The run this week was much more scenic and enjoyable for me. I tend to have serious mind psyche outs so I don’t like to see long straightaway’s while running.

I also attended a shower. We had so much fun and all the gifts almost, almost made me want a bebe too. The cake was sooo good that I had two slices :-P but by the end of the night I was ready to drop. I’m surprised I was able to make it home since everything after that is a blur. It was all the sun that did me in. I can’t wait to see the pics for this bash. But I really really REALLY can’t wait to see baby G! It was so sweet to see how much my friend is loved.

Sunday, vegged out all day.

And now I’m back here, north. Luckily this is my last week and will be able to resume my regular routine. Also, my trip to DC was cancelled!!! Assome!
