Older and Sober?
A good (and bad) thing happened tonight. I didn’t drink-but I did fall back in with my drinking friends. These are actually some of the smartest and most interesting people I know. They are my colleagues from my first job after college. However, in addition to working together, we also partied together. A lot. There was a goodbye happy hour for one girl who is headed back to school that one of my former co-workers invited me to and then…voila…everyone was there even though only 2 of the maybe 7 or so people still work for the company we all worked for. It was everyone back together-and we now have future plans to hang out. I am going to have to watch myself since I like to think I am a changed person from my immediate post-college happy hour days. I am more low key now-and truthfully I think they may be too. We are older and healthier as a group. We shall see but I am going to make a supreme effort to try and be good! Also, we are almost ALL still fabulously single. I personally find it hard to believe that not ONE of us has met anyone of note in the 2 years since I’ve been gone from that job. Fortunately, I am not worried.
I have a 4 mile race tonight. Wish me luck. I am NOT going to run the first mile any faster than 7:45 min/mile and we shall see if that makes a difference….I plan on biking to the race (downhill 2 miles) so that is kind of fun. I also have a new pair of sneakers that I hope don't shred my feet (like the pair with 12 miles on them that I am going to sell on E-bay). No shoes have EVER bothered me as much as those. My feet and Nike Pegasus (Size 9 Wide) are not soulmates.

Nike Pegasus? That's the running shoe of choice for the Nike Brothers! Shame it didn't work for you. You aren't selling the ones you cut a hole in are you?
And did you find your burrito soul mate yet?

The burrito soul mate thing is hilarious! I hope your race goes well tonight. Good luck going a bit slower in the first mile.
