This weekend was pretty damn awesome. Incredibly damn awesome!
For the past 3 or 4 months, my friends and I were planning on surprising my good buddy Timmy, aka Cancer Boy, at his home-town Relay For Life event. It hasn't been a hard 3 or 4 months of planning. I think the harder part was trying to keep our little plan a secret as opposed to getting down there, entering a team, etc, etc. The sketchiest part was trying to collect funds and pledges without a team name or a team website.
Sketch-tacular.
Even harder was getting excited about the event. We couldn't really talk about it in the open, and I really find it helpful to get excited about things by talking with other people who are involved and getting them pumped, then I get pumped, and the feedback loop asplodes! I really couldn't use that strategy with this event. I really didn't get pumped until the morning of - and that was even a challenge because I got into the home-brew and Nerf guns with Darren, John and Fred the night before....I kicked ass....again....mostly because Eamon was in Ontario.
Either way, it worked quite well and we actually did surprise Timmy. I don't know if we succeeded in surprising the shit out of Timmy, but we did take him off-guard and made the event even more awesome for him. Here's to you Cancer Boy! Big kisses! Bigger hugs!! We got 'cher back! Tim, you're awesome!
The aftermath is a little different. I think I walked the equivalent distance of something between 15 and 18 km. On the plus side, I think my ass is going to be more toned than ever. On the down side, my knee is so incredibly sore and my ankles aren't much better. Ice packs are awesome. Mentol icy rub is even better! Good thing I don't do a lot of manual labor anymore.
My body does not understand the concept of it being 10 PM on a Sunday night and that it should start considering going back to bed because 6:00 tomorrow will come a lot earlier than I'd like.
Smarten up body!
