Of 10K runs, makeupless faces and viva las vegas! plans
Of 10K runs…
If you follow me on twitter or tumblr, you probably already know that I did the 10K Vancouver SunRun two days ago. I got up at 7:45AM on Sunday morning, sandwiched myself in the skytrain with thousands of other people all trying to get downtown, then sandwiched myself at the starting location with 55,000 other runners to wait for the race to start.
Despite what you might think, it was very fun. I did it in 70:21, missing my goal of 69 minutes by a whole whopping 22 seconds, but still improved on last year’s time by just over a minute. If you look me up on the website or yesterday’s copy of the Vancouver Sun, you can see for yourself!
Of makeupless faces…
A couple days ago, the lovely Ev’Yan tagged me for a photo meme. Basically, the idea is to snap a photo of yourself just as you are in the moment—no primping, no fixing of hair, etc. etc. It’s a good thing I’ve started to wear less and less makeup (sometimes going without), because I was wearing none when I took this photo. Eek.
Behold, Chanel circa 9:06AM:
Of viva las vegas! plans…
In approximately 30 minutes, I will be off to Las Vegas, Nevada. We’re driving down, which means 20 hours of Elvis, country gospel, and 1940-1960s classics. And some shopping (particularly for gaudy, vegas-style rings). And maybe some Taco Bell if I’m lucky.
But most of all, I’m just excited for warm sun and pools. And palm trees! And shows! And XanGo events! And The Cheesecake Factory! As well, Marissa and I (along with Bob and Bhupinder) will be videoblogging down there, so stay tuned for more fun!
Aw, you look gorgeous! You’re glowing & I’m sure it’s because of the 10k you just ran (btw, I admire you for that! I absolutely loathe running, but you seem to do it so effortlessly, which gives me a sort of inspiration).
You’ll have fun in Vegas! But it’s so bloody hot, so be warned. =]

April 21st, 2009 at 1:50 pmNot too shabby.. Was it a hilly route? Great accomplishment!
Reply: For the most part it was like any average city route – little downhill, little uphill, flat, repeat – except for two major hills, which are pretty damn big you almost can’t run them at all.
