Update update update
Las Vegas = fun! First time and I won money. Go me. :) Not much sleep, but lots of blackjack and penny slots. Went to see Zumanity. Show was good. Seeing friends from college was super awesome. Vegas is hot, but it's still fun. We're gonna make it an annual thing. It's been decided.
Company IPO'ed on Wednesday. Celebrated with champagne today! Need to wait forever to sell, but still. IPO!
Made pork tenderloins (Stuffed Pork Tenderloins with Bacon and Apple-Riesling Sauce) from Food & Wine tonight! Friend and I wanted to hook up two people, we were not very successful. But, on other hand, food was yum. Never made a whole pork tenderloin before. Never grilled pork before. Was fun.
Takeaways from the evening:
1. Making food for 1) twelve people and 2) people who have never had my food before was nerve-racking.
2. Need to learn how to make food look prettier.
3. I want a big kitchen, and I need an apron.
Tomorrow I get to go swimming! Hope I don't drown. Hahaha.

Happy over stupid stuff
Today was athletically good.
Lunchtime: New step class with a new instructor. I think I did ok. Picked up most of the moves so that made me happy. Not as good as my favorite step class, but not too bad. May need to go to that one more...
After work: 6 mile run around Shoreline Lake + Stevens Creek Trail. Did better than I thought I would. I basically clocked under a 9 minute mile...which made me happy since I was worried I'd be running something much slower (15 min mile?) My conclusion after running: OMG RUNNING IS BORING. I pooped out around mile 5 and had to walk for a minute or so, but I think I am ok with that (sort of). Running around the lake is nice.
I'm happy and tired. Proud moment of the day: looking at my ipod and realizing I *hadn't* been running for like an hour and a half. :)

So...it's true *sigh*, running hills is good for you. Went around Stanford dish for the first time. Could have potentially died. For about a minute, I tried to pace myself against some dude who didn't *seem* like he was going *too* fast up one of the hills. I "liked" how at every step, he increased the distance between me and him. I think he was done with the hill by the time I was only 3/4 (if I am liberal) of the way done. I suck. :(
On the bright side, the run back from the dish was amazingly easy afterwards. Felt like I was going much faster. :) So...moral of story: I need to kill myself every once in a while. I'm *assuming* the run will get easier. Now, I feel like I have a new obstacle that I need to conquer.
I am still debating about the triathlon. Seems like it would be good for me. I just need...a bike. But everywhere I read is that I need to spend like $600 to get a decent bike. I dunno if I'd ever ride *unless* I were training for a triathlon. I kind of like my gym classes too much to swap out classes for bike rides. But I really want to do a triathlon. But I really don't know if the investment is worth it. Thinking I should be looking at used...but it's still kind of a lot of money. I wonder if I am just making excuses...

Update lah
Me: In weird running mood (finally!) Want to also train for triathlon, but first, need to do the half marathon! Want to do Wharf to Wharf. Hopefully can find people to drag along. :)
Yesterday: Ran (and walked some) of Shoreline loop again: about 7 miles.
Today: Ran with Nike Run Club: about 3 miles.
Feel like I need to run more. Material want: stop watch.
Weekend was good. Running was good (albeit boring). Board game night (although I didn't play any) was good. Talked about triathlons, marathons, relays, swimming...while eating lots of brownies. :)
Today was great! Eight hours of drinking Reislings. With homemade California rolls, spicy tuna rolls (go me!), Aburagi (?), cucumber sandwiches, deviled eggs, and spicy vietnamese chicken sandwiches. Ridiculous amounts of food, and we ate A LOT of it. Followed by some bad/half buzzed DDR. Then conned Nicole's roommate into feeding us his homemade key lime white chocolate cookies bars. HOLY SHIZNAZZ enough sugar to keep me wired for the next three hours.
Which only means I need to work out tomorrow too!
(Ok...see...the sugar? makes me write with A! LOT! OF! EXCLAMATION! MARKS!!!)
ALSO! Booked tickets for Las Vegas! It's going to be SSSOOOO ridiculously awesome. I *CANNOT* wait!!

Is it evil to be happy when your boyfriend's flight gets canceled so you have to pick him up from the airport again?
Hurrah for bad weather!
