December 11, 2010 Somehow I once again convinced joe that it’s a great idea to drive 2+hours in order to run 26.2 miles in 36 degree weather. Either I have really great persuasion powers or he's just really unintelligent (kisses)....originally the plan was to get up at 3am, drive to Rehoboth , run marathon, drive home.. but the ole man said that was not to his liking and we had to do option B: drive down late the night before, stay in cheap hotel, run marathon, then drive home. I am not sure what it is about the Rehoboth Marathon but this is the 3rd time we have done this race and twice we were feuding prior to the start. “...and how come you didn ’t wait for me you asshole!?” … “screw you beeach ”… its just another wonderful morning in Mastripolito happy land. Next time I am so going to bring one of those light box things so when he starts, CLICK in his eyes, seasonal dysfunctional disorder... NICE BOY… My intention for Rehoboth this year was to run it as a long run, no racin...

My birthday day…… 5:30 am: up early, breakfast with Joe … respond to all my wonderful birthday wishes and emails.. 8:30 am: jumped in truck to drive the hour to Claymont Delaware for derby skates… hit up Panera , coffee, snack… 10:00am: an hour later arrive at Skatebuys in Claymont , excited... jump out of truck and race to door.. um.. hello.. door locked.. peer in window… hello?....check my watch, its 10:05am.. look at door… try door again (like I am assuming I am not pulling it hard enough). . still locked… peer in again.. HMPH .. check watch.. place was suppose to open at 10am.. it did not.. bang on door… HELLO?... go back to truck.. call them... no answer… get back out.. bang on door… try door again... sit back in truck.. call them.. no answer.. A little agitated… what to do?.. I am in Delaware..well...Christiana mall is “only” 15 miles away.. and since I am already in Delaware that is… I mines well ….because its my birthday…! 10:30am: so drive.. drive.. drive... get to Chris...
