10 Miler? Nailed it! And Cocktails.

Sorry it has been so long! I'm neglecting all of you! Work has been crazy, and I have some other things cooking that required my attention. Anyway, my last post I mentioned I had a 10-mile race on Saturday. I wasn't really prepared for a run that long. But I amazed myself, yet again! 9:36 pace, and no walking! I AM A BEAST!

Ok, not really. That isn't THAT impressive, but it was quite a bit better than I was expecting, so I'm happy with it. Pictures aren't up from the race yet, so I don't have any great shots of me about ready to die. I have this one from right after I crossed the finish line, though, so there's that. Not my best angle, but what do you expect after 10 miles?

That night, The Hubs took me to Chicago q, where I devoured hush puppies and kobe brisket. And about 4 Templeton Rye cocktails. The Champlain Sour, to be exact. Here is a pic:

Looks nice, right? It tasted more like THIS. And boy, were they stiff! EXACTLY what I needed after 10 miles. Can't go beer 100% of the time. A girl has to get her rye fix in from time to time.
