Happy Birthday Sammy!!!

Last night we celebrated my good friend Samantha's birthday. As it turns out she's also training for her first 50k with the Northface program. Sweet Sammy, I'm glad you're enjoying it.

Me: Here is the Northface hydration pack. You can have it if you want it. Free schwag from Western States 06 that I've never used. Happy Birthday.
Samantha: Thanks, so glad you could come, mua!
Me: So I had no idea you were in the Northface Ultra training program and you're running your first 50k?
Samantha: Well we haven't talked in like what, couple of months?
Me: Right, right. You know I'm supposed to work that race but now I'm thinking of doing it. Either way I'll be there.
Jess: Me too.
JP: (Jess' guy) No you're not, your knee is still tweaked.
Jess: awww:(
Samantha: Other people we know will be running the shorter distances.
Me: Jess maybe you can take my place at the aid station if I run it.
Server:Your friends at the bar bought this for you.
Me: Ugh Jaeger, okay I'll take one with you. I'll get one for Jess too, haha. It's your birthday after all.
Me: Uh so who are those three guys in the short shorts and rainbow apparel, more friends of yours Sammy?

DSCN4284Sam and I. Bear with my fuzzy photos. I broke the screen of my new camera at the Tetons so I'm using my old beat up camera that focuses like an ultra runner low on salt.


DSCN4281It wasn't as bad as I remembered it. Jess and I joining Sammy in her bday shot. This pic is for you Marcy, my trashtastic blogger friend.


DSCN4283The surviving members of the party, we did pick up two new members. See those guys in the rainbow sleeveless shirts with the tight short shorts, haha. Well they were working an event for Smirnoff. Something about a coming out of the closet vodka party, at least that was what was conveyed to me. We didn't stay much longer after this shot was taken.

  3. Ah yes, the Jaegermeister! Or, as I call it, "German cough syrup!" :) Man, I haven't had a shot of that in years. Look like a fun time!

    Slightly off topic, good luck to your Niners this season. Everyone has high hopes for my Vikings, but I am not so sure!

  4. Me neither Jean but it wasn't as bad as I remembered it to be. It was a great time and a great to catch up with people I haven't be able to catch up with lately.

    Yes the niners, we just relegated our $54 million dollar quarterback to back up status. We'll see I'm all for whatever gets us winning games. If we hit .500 I'll be happy.
