Whatcha gonna do with your life?

You don't know this yet...but I had my first martini last Saturday night. It was something special my friend made with pineapple juice and coconut rum. It was very tasty.
It was a great party given by my friend Dana. I had so much fun. To much fun. I loved that martini so much that I had another one (not the same flavor). Then I had another and another.

Whoa!

Today I felt well enough to run.

My head finally stopped throbbing, but for some reason the thought of a martini right now still makes me nauseous. Go figure.

After spending a couple hours cleaning the house, I was very happy to click on my ipod to a sweet running mix.
The weather today was great. Sunny and cool. Perfect day for running.

I wanted to take it easy today, so I ran up Pointed Rocks, around Westville and decided to go ahead and do the Otter Loop as well. I would guess that's about 4-5 miles.

I'm rubbing off on my oldest daughter. Today is the second time she took to the roads and did 2 miles. Good for her. She says she likes running too. Cool. Also Megan wants me to go running with her someday soon. Okay, that would be nice. I'm hoping that someday I'll get to run in a marathon with them, or half marathon...even a 10k would be fun.

The route today was pretty uneventful. I ran past 3 new houses being built. A bicycler passed me and waved. Not much else. I was gone less than an hour. 45 minutes actually.

I hate being sick. I am discovering that hangover sick is the worst. I didn't run on Saturday because I wanted as much water in my system as possible. I planned on getting liquored up...but not that bad...and oh, was it bad!!

Tore up from the floor up, eh? Sometimes you gotta have those moments. Had mine at my employer's Xmas party. Too many Jack/Coke, Lemon Drop martinis, not to mention Fosters. Whoa. Didn't get sick, but I wasn't feeling too well Saturday to do anything. Went to see the USC/UCLA game with my "hiking wife" at an Irish pub near her place for some hair of the dog. I went easy on the Coors Light and Guinness. See you got a running partner! Good for the both of you. Bonding. Hope all is well. I hope Santa gets me an iPod.

Oh, boy did I get sick. Not fun and I NEVER want to have one of those moments again. I'm glad you didn't get sick.
I've never heard that term...hair of the dog?
You gotta get an ipod! The nano is nice and small with an awesome screen. I have the mini...and I love it!
Hope you've been a good boy this year.

I have been looking at a Nano, but I am so techno-challenged. Let me guess the user manual is bigger than the ipod itself? Will see if Santa decides if I have been good or bad. Good in some respects, but bad in others.
