Best. Night. Ever. OR Why not to eat pizza during a Midnight 5K.

The sad truth is I'm running better, working out harder, and slowly improving. The sad thing is, I was eating pizza the whole way!

Let me explain.

Fridays: Long day, two classes, five hour inbetween, boring, but restful.
Today, since our military physical fitness class has newbies, it's time for them to run the PT test (two min of push ups, two min of sit ups, two mile run). Which is never fun.

So me and some peeps from my class were talking about the midnight 5K or 5pooK run. Every semester they have one and the fall you get to dress up and run. Its the same run we do for class, around the campus and such, but with a few laps thrown in. So, not much of a terrible workout, well, it still sucks. So me and my buddy Cash met up with a kid from our class Brad and went on this 5K. I went as a guy who was stabbed to death with a pen (pictures to come) and Cash went as a jedi with an awesome lightsaber (totally kills the ones Emily's family owns. But Cash is also a very special brand of child.) Before the 5K Me, Cash, and his roommate whose name I cant recall at the moment, all went to the Blacklight Party. Which wasn't as good as I'd hoped it be. Saw some people I knew, but left pretty earlier. So we stopped by little ceasers on the way home, and picked up some pizza.

We ate some before the race, dished some out to people before and during the run, and ate some ourselves during the run. Which was the BIGGEST MISTAKE EVER! I feel so crappy at the moment. But it was so much fun. Again, I got to push people, and make friends doing it. I met the mad hatter girl, and the girl that happened to be in Cash's ward. And the school bus, which was a shopping cart with a lot of people and a yellow banner aroudn them all running together.

People loved my costume and were snapping pics with me a lot. And alot of people posed and took pics of me and Cash with our pizza boxes. I made the time in 27 minutes. A passable time for the Marine Corps! HOORAH BABY! Pizza in hand, and in stomach. Uphill a lot as well. I feel good. Well, only about that. Physically I won't sleep well tonight. I have to get up early for a football game too. Im going to be so miserable tomorrow.

This is the most fun I've had since I've gotten here. For sure!

Cash and I are on a pizza ban. Well, I am for sure. That crap hurts so bad, I have one giant knot in my stomach. Well guys, I got a game tomorrow. Good night and Good luck!
