So, hey, Pittsburgh Pirates. You know what would be really nice? If you could win some games when you come here to play the St. Louis Cardinals, because I tell people ALL THE TIME that you're my team, and then you never win when I come to see you play!!!! Not that I don't think you're trying....just maybe knock over the second baseman if he gets in your way, and throw a few high pitches to scare the batters, if you have to.
I got *free* tickets from a vendor, and I was SO excited...and then I realized that they were in the new Budweiser Brewhouse Deck...in Ballpark Village...across the street. Which was still really cool, but didn't make it easy to concentrate on the game.
We did see the St. Louis Rally Runner! He has a jersey that says "Rally Runner" and painted his face red, and was running back and forth in front of the gates -- and it was HOT out. He has a Facebook page if you want to check him out. It's like an Elvis siting or something. I wish I could have taken a non-blurry picture!
So after we (admittedly bailed) left the game a little early, we stopped at Chipotle and got chicken burrito bowls (I cancelled out any health-consciousness by also ordering the chips, which are SO good). Yum!
I ran 8 miles yesterday and 9 today, and I think tomorrow I might take a day off from running (or maybe just do 3....my legs are tired! It depends on if the little pictures of thunderstorming clouds on the weather forecast actually mean it's going to rain....or not!). It was cool enough and breezy today but the sun was killer! I posted on Facebook about how far I'd run based on how many likes I got...I got 20 likes, and I don't think twenty miles would be the best idea! I should have done 10, a half mile for every person, but someone forgot to set my alarm last night, so I didn't start til 7:30, and I figured 9 would be enough. So, Facebook friends, I owe you a mile!
As a reminder to claim victory in the small things: Today I ate leftovers instead of getting a sandwich from Jimmy John's, so that's a minor accomplishment!
