Take Me Out


Springtime means a couple things.  First, it means nice running weather :)  Second, it means baseball.  Primarily playing hookie to go to a 1:20 game at Wrigley!  Nothing better than taking in a game on a gorgeous afternoon in a historic park, drinking some beer, when you should be slaving away at a desk.  Last night around midnight I decided to check the 'ole cubbies website to see if any tickets were released that were previously unavailable and wouldn't you know they were.  Not just any tickets...2 seats behind the visitors dugout 7 rows from the field!  Unfortunately the Cubs lost.  Oh well, that's the "fun" of being a fan.  Otherwise it was a fabulous day - the sun was shining, the beer was cold, and I didn't have to work.                                                   

In running related news I did go for a 5 mile run before the game so I wouldn't feel as guilty about the beer and dogs.  Another struggle but I got it done.  Friday is a rest and stretch day so hopefully that helps.

Sounds like the perfect afternoon - well except that you were at Wrigley instead of Safeco, then it *really* would have been the perfect day ;) Good call on the five miler.

That sounds like so much fun. I really have to get myself to Wrigley one of these days to watch a game. I love going to historic ball parks all across the country!
