saturday started semi-early, with heath and i heading to wrigleyville to join with his illini people for their cubs game soiree. we got to a bar called moe's at about 10:15 and met up with his friends brian and camelia, as well as several of their friends. it was free beer and free food, which is trouble. nothing like 4 miller lites (or was it 5 for me? probably 6 for heath?), several taquitos, and 3 corndog bites before noon to make you feel like crap around 6pm. at about 12:15 we headed over to the game. our seats were waaaay up high and waaaay down in the outfield, but we could still see fine, including the part of the game where lou pinella lost it and went after the ump. he got booted, the field got littered with the day's giveaway (blue travel mug) and other debris, the braves got booed and the crowd ate it up. after the game we went to another bar (sheffield's) to hang out for a while and have a LOT of water. pictures here. by the time heath and i got back to his place at 6 or so, we were feeling pretty tired and sicky. we just laid low and watched some tv. went to bed early to prep for sunday...
...which was the 10K race. nothing like drinking more than you typically do the day before the longest race you've ever run in. i was pretty anxious about it, but ended up doing just fine (blogged about it here). after the race, i changed out of my sweaty shirt (ick), and heath and i wandered around the zoo for a few hours. it was a lot of fun. we grabbed lunch and were able to see pretty much the whole place. our feet were killing us by the time we left, but it was definitely worth it. a few pictures here.
and now i'm about all caught up on blogging. i can blog about the moving/apartment situation once things get settled in a bit.
