The Knee Bone is Connected to the Hurt Bone

I ran 14 miles on Sunday.
Double digits baby!
Never did I ever (ever never ever never) think I could do such a stupid, stupid thing. I didn't think my mind or body was capable of it.
And I ran all 14! On accident no less. The goal was 13.1 and the amazing Phyllis I made it a goal to hang tight with the last 2 miles had a GPS watch that was about a mile slow. At that point it hurt just as much to stop as it did to keep going so I'm grateful for the extra mile.
After maneuvering through the Venice beach bum slumber party we finished up near the Santa Monica pier and then back to Marina Del Rey where I proceeded to help myself to every single breakfast food available at the Souplantation spread. Twice.
The beauty of struggling through 14 miles is the 1500 calories you burn. I don't even mind that my knees feel like they're being shanked with a crude weapon every time I take a step. That cinnamon roll was beyond worth it :)

I wish I could have crawled into bed after that mileage and food overload but it was off to the Montalban for an EKIN soccer university. Of course the girl with busted knees and no medical insurance was the one who had to climb a ladder 47 times (I counted) to change the theater marquee TWICE and trek 5 flights of stairs numerous times to the rooftop futsal court. Of course!
The university was pretty neat though and the nighttime soccer session was not a bad way to get paid.
Ladies and gents, The Ricardo Montalban theater rooftop:

The Monty is taking a little 3 week nap while John Leguizamo performs his comedy "Ghetto Clown". In the mean time I will be working on a product project for Nike Sportswear's activation at Nike Women's Marathon. SO excited for this! Last year I was just the event staff trying to make a few extra bucks for my CalTrain ticket, unaware of the Nike flood that was coming my way. This year I got an e-mail from the event company On Board Entertainment to join their staff again and with an appreciative and humble smile I was able to respond with a "Sorry, I'll be working alongside Nike this year."
HA! How rad...AND I'm running! I'll be putting in some work in SF leading up to the race as a stylist and managing product for the Run The Runway contest that I wish I could enter...
