I have no idea why after every race, the week following I pig out on junk food and I don't work out. Okay so i do know why, I just ran a freaking race. I can eat/do whatever I want, shaddup! hahaha. So what is it I'm oinking on right now? Flamin' Hot FUNYUNS!!! I had no idea they started doing flamin' hots for funyuns. I just saw them at CVS on my break today so I felt the need to try them out. Not bad. First bite, still has that onion-y crunch, and then hotness. mmm yum. man i love me some flamin' hot foods. dude, i think my nose is starting to run too. i hate how my fingers start turning red though. i try to wipe them after every bite but it always happens. baboys man. baboys!

so, like danielle said we ran the great race of agoura, woohoo for the half marathon. as a kid i remember running the 1 mile race, heheh and having no idea where i was going just kept running on ahead. so gotta love the idea that now we have a half we can run in the hometown=).

okay so anyways, about the half. ummm yeah, my estimation on the uphill being from miles 5-8 was a bit off. we ended up running on the trails for miles 3-10. and every time we'd go up a hill, we're like hmm not so bad. when i looked at my watch i figured we were around mile 7, so after the inclines we had afterwards i'd tell danielle "okay i think that was the 700ft incline, we should be done." hahah yeah i was sooooo off on that one. we got over one incline and as we turned the corner danielle was all, "chris look up." dude i think my jaw dropped. up ahead as we're climbing upwards was this humungoid hill where the path just curves all windy and the people look like ants. everyone basically walked that part bc the path was kinda narrow and plus it was a nice little rest. but once you get to the top of that hill, the view was pretty awesome! then we ran again, got our knees sprayed by something similar to the salonpas spray..felt so good! and then it was all downhill/flat from there. once we got out of the trails we realized we just finished mile 10. not so bad.

hahah the funniest though had to be these other 2 girls in the race. during the trail run portion, the path gets kinda narrow so it's hard to pass up people in front of you. so there were times that if me & danielle saw any type of gap, we'd bum rush to get past those people. there were two girls (not running together) who it always seemed we were playing tag with because we'd pass each other then they'd pass us and it'd go back and forth. after we got out of the trails, danielle noticed one of the girls ahead. hehe and i guess during the run we had been thinking the same thing bc when she said, hey wanna pass her? i was like HECK YEAH! haha so we run by girl #1. then wayyyyy up ahead danielle notices the shirt of girl #2. haha dude you didn't even have to ask what to do next. we sprinted by her, and what's funny is i totally heard her grunt all loud as we passed her. haha. so yeah those were our race markers i guess? then it was a sprint to the finish. no pr, but 2:22 isn't too bad for not training consistently. man my farthest training run i did was 7 miles. sad huh? so let's hope next year i get it together. heehee. woohoo to the great race. y'all know you want to run it with us next year. c'mon voted the best post race afterparty for the past 5 years..ha, but don't know about this year=P.

spent the weekend in agoura after the race. got to hang out at danielle's new place afterwards, soooo nice! i love the view=). and hung out with the fambam for the rest of the weekend. geez my nephew is getting big. so cute, he can sit up on his own now! reminder: must post pics of weston. i attended this godparents class we're suppose to take since i'm going to be his ninang. haha, our team leader said it would be nice if when we see weston we do a little blessing everytime we see him, anything we wanted. haha so when we saw weston afterwards, charvy and my cousin jason were all like, weston expelliarmus, weston expecto patronus..and yadda yadda. hehe me? i did my own umm german blessing=P. bad bad i know, it was just for fun! okay fine, guess it was funnier when it happened.

ahhh hump day. that phrase still cracks me up.
