Little Miss Runner Pants

ok for those of you that might want to meet up with a fellow blogger in the near future.. might i suggest something to you?

learn... to run... FASTER!!!

ok first of all.. phoenix is the shit.

she is seriously a cool lady.

and while mostly i had a really great time meeting up with her, exploring new trails, and then hanging out at starbucks afterwards to exchange funny stories...

i'm pretty sure i basically experienced what i can only assume was mild cardiac arrest.

...... i wanted to die.

phoenix may talk a slow game. she may want to be like one of the cool kids in the club and run in the back.. like me.

but for her.. it ain't happenin. cuz that chick can move.

and not only can she move.. but she can talk while doing it.

two years in, and i'm still unable to converse while getting my run on.
i'm pretty sure its genetic.

i blame my mom.

the entire mexican side, really. tan man can't run!

but i digress.

the meet-up was fun times. pre-run, we posed for our required "no pics = didn't happen" photo-op, where i quickly realized..

phoenix is tall!

either that or i'm short.. but either way. i look twelve. its not my best look.

about 10 mintues into the run, as i was coping with the complete shut down of my right lung, i mimed to phoenix to go ahead with the run... and i'd meet her back at the car.

little does she know, that while she was off doing that

i was back at my car, doing this

i'm a sneaky little bastard... i KNOW!!

afterwards though.. it was high time for some shade. we made our way over to starbucks, exchanged various tales of conquering the world, and just like that... our time was up.

she had a husband to get home to, and i had a shower calling my name.

the rest of my weekend was perfectly laid back. i spent some quality time with the folks, attended church like the good girl that i am, and afterwards even talked my mom into making pancakes before i took off for the day.

i looked something like this afterwards....

my mom's cooking does it to me. those pancakes are just too good!

with that though.. my weekend was done. i packed it back up in my car, bid my parents farewell, and headed back in the afternoon.

all in all, a great weekend. i got to meet yet another awesome blogger, spent time with the 'rents and.. i over-indulged on some homemade food.

for me these days?! doesn't get much better than that!
