I know I should have written this a long time ago.
I'm sorry. Here is what happened.
I turned 25 on June 11 and as if that wasn't bad enough I got to spend my entire birthday in a car driving to Bend OR. The drive took about seven hours. Then we got to go running. We were in Bend to run the USATF Half Marathon Trail Championships. Trail races are always run in the desert, where it is hot and dry and there are no trees or anything to give you shade. They are never run in the northwest where there are lots of trees, it is cooler and oh yeah, close by.
Since I had just turned 25 I had to move up an age group. 25-29 usually has lots more people since no one is in college anymore. Most people think I am like in high school and even I got a shock when I got my race number and it said Emily Uhlig F25. I had to call up my coach, who wasn't there, and berate- "why does it say I am 25??"
"Emily, you are 25."
yeah, but barely. A lady at work thought I was turning 19!
Yeah, no one cares.
No one cares it's my birthday either. Especially not the race. I think I got last. Maybe I beat one person.
Cory did really good and got fourth.
Then I had to sit in the car for another seven hours while we experienced some of the country's finest scenery. I thought Joel was mad at me so I was sad and decided to never race again. The trip cost one hundred dollars. Oh and I got a laptop for my birthday- yay!
That's all I have to say about that. Now that I've blogged about it can I forget it ever happened?
