i should also probably prepare a little more next time so running might be an option. (i jogged a little, but mostly power walked when we weren't jumping all over the obstacles).
still super fun. doesn't matter. would do again.
and maybe not be sick next time.
friday morning i was starting to feel it, but by friday evening at work part two, i could barely stand. i tried to get out early, but we had no help so i had to stay late and do my best to stand up. then i ran out of gas on my way home so ron had to come get me. i got home, took a bath, and went to bed. it kind of helped.
at least it was a nice day out. the weather was great, despite of how it was recently being cold and all. there were lots of people. some dressed up, there were super heroes, people wearing tutus, matching t-shirts all over. i think next time i want to wear something fun.
did i mention how awesome this was? like seriously? AND its kind of like fitness stuff? inflatable obstacles are no laughing matter. well, okay, maybe they are a little bit, but they're a challenge none the less. do you know how hard it is to fight to climb something that keeps changing shapes? damn!
but then you get to slide down the other side or bounce someone into the air so it totally makes up for it. effort win.
awwww yeahh. i really hope they bring this back next year. heck, depending on where they host them maybe i will even drive to it if it's close enough. they would be crazy not to come back to syracuse since they sold out one day in no time, and opted to open it a second day. that is probably a couple thousand people paying to run an inflatable obstacle course. its fun. its win all the way around.
so heather and i survived. it was super awesome. i can't wait to try something else, although i will have to actually try and get fit- which is an awesome joke by the way. let me tell you in a bit why that is so funny, or maybe if you're thinking, have you read any other parts of my blog? raging inner fat kid? the heaven and hell cake alone? yep. sums it up right there.
aside from being sick, i only suffered a little elbow rash, and a good bruised knee. the knee got me really good. it actually hurts to touch. i don't usually bruise easy either, so i hit it pretty good for anything to show up like it did.
so after all was said and done, we went out on a little adventure, i got a new blanket and sheets. then ron and i went grocery shopping and had a little barbecue chicken since it was still so nice out. i made home made fries. i always forget how awesome fresh cut fries are compared to any store bought or restaurant fries. all that stuff sucks hard core compared to home made fries. of course, it only gets better from there. we got this ice cream. it is special because it is made with wine. a place up north of us called mercers makes several flavors of wine ice cream, the one we picked was a raspberry chardonnay. wanna know what else goes with raspberries?
f*ck yeah.
home made brownies, that's what.
i got the recipe from here, at dessert for two, and its totally a keeper. like, this dessert with the ice cream is totally worthy of being served at a restaurant or something. that amazing. the ice cream helped my throat, mostly. not even because of the wine. it was subtle, but it was there. no, sore throats and the cold ice cream kind of work together so it was a good ending to the day.
today was not a day to recover though, since i asked for too many days off. (or something like that anyway). at least it was a slow day so i didn't have to deal with too many people. i kind of hope tomorrow will be that way too. then i have tuesday off. so yeah. that was my adventure. i even got a little dessert in here at the end for you all.
well, i need to attempt to get some rest. i still kind of feel like i'm dying, so sleep is good. thanks for reading as always, and check back for more fun! i hope to have something for you wednesday! ☺
