the worst ways to prepare for a race.

So, our best friends Ann and Marcel came down for another fun-filled, memorable weekend. We spent it doing the very things that you should NOT do before running a relay race on an early Sunday morning. Let me give you a list of ways that we tried very hard to not prepare for a race.

1. Eating {super spicy} Chinese food for dinner Friday night, followed by finishing off 3 bottles of yummy flavored vodka.
2. Staying up until 4 am doing a puzzle, and waking up at 9 am to eat a lavish homemade omelet bar {prepared by yours truly}, followed by homemade donuts with glaze {prepared by my handsome husband} for dessert. Yup- dessert after breakfast.
3. Spending the rest of the day on the couch watching movies while the boys went out shooting, causing a temporary conductive hearing loss.
4. Eating Mexican food Saturday night, complete with quesadillas, chips and extra hot salsa, guacamole, queso with chorizo, giant margaritas, and our individual entrees- chicken chimi for me. We all had our pants unbuttoned.
5. Playing Farkel until 2 am, accompanied by more flavored vodka.... well aware of a 6 am wake up call to get to the race and register beforehand. Super smart.

Another weekend with not enough sleep, too many drinks, way too much food, and not enough exercise. In other words... perfect.

Oh- and that race? Ann and Rick killed it... 4 miles in 28:45. We had to celebrate afterward with some TTT breakfast. Maybe we should eat that way every race weekend- certainly more fun.
