Damnit I'm logging this on Thursday at 12:20pm. Sorry for the delay. Had no time last night since I had to get ready to go straight to rick's after the workout. I'll talk a bit about the workout before I go into the bar night story.

We did 6x1600m at threshold with 1:00 rest in between each. I brought my speakers and it was lit. I actually created a playlist so it was more than just Drake and 21 Savage. I thought the music helped a lot and definitely made things more enjoyable. I did the entire workout with Red Cap and Garrett. Splits:

5:30.1
5:28.7
5:29.5
5:29.9
5:28.4
5:28.1

avg. 5:29.1 (5:31.0 for a mile)

According to Jack Daniels, based off my 5k my VDOT is either a 65 or 66. Threshold pace for a 65 is 5:32 and and 5:28 for a 65. So my mile pace of 5:31 was pretty spot on.

Afterwards I did 4x200 strides and hit 32.2, 31.7, 31.4, 31.6

Very happy with everything. Now for the rest of the night...


The plan was to go straight to Rick's. It was half off drinks and no cover. And Valentine's Day. So it was going to be super lit and it indeed was. When I got home after the workout I was talking about how we might need to get there earlier than usual because there would probs be hellauva a line. But even though I was the one who issued the warning, I was the one holding us up because I was busy eating cereal. Anyway we got in line at 10:40pm (Steven Smith found a tenner on the ground on our walk over there lol) and at 11:00pm we ditched to go to Dublin to get a drink because the line wasn't moving. Melanie and Alisha stayed in line so we sauced back in with them at like 11:20pm by doing the corner trick. Lucas started playing "Let Me In" on his phone and the line actually started moving. We ended up getting into Rick's at like 11:32pm I think.

Shortly after getting inside and waiting to get a drink at the bar we had a classic Oblivious BJ moment. Some girl bumped me from behind so I turned around. She was real cute and apologizing, but she also had a tequila shot in her hand saying "I don't really want this shot", looking at me and then offered it to me. I say some stupid shit, take the shot, and then thank her. And of course she is still there looking and smiling at me, compliments my looks and then says "Happy Valentine's Day", and of course I say some stupid shit back and turn away back to the bar.

She didn't accidentally bump into me. She wasn't just giving away a shot that she didn't want. I'm a fucking idiot.

The rest of the night was really fun. I met up with my friend Kenny and we saw this one guy who we call Mr. Potential and I just about lost my mind. Mr. Potential was some random guy that we met at Rice Kitchen last year and Tall Paul said that "he had potential." Turns out that was the last time Mr. Potential went to RK haha. He told me to email him Paul's Rice Kitchen video of him so I did that like an hour ago. He loved it.

Another highlight of the night was seeing a fucked up Brennan, who is possibly the best shooter on our IM basketball team.

Another highlight was seeing this literal 70 year old guy who was standing barely 5 feet tall wander around Rick's. Like damn. Go get it my dude.

But probs the best highlight of the night was when me Lucas and Steven Smith went up on the stage and did the "My Dick Touch the Water" dance (this is also our bench mob celebration when someone hits a 3 in IM basketball).

I left Rick's at like 1:30am and came home to deep discussions with Lucas and Steven Smith (they left a little earlier than I) about death. Some pretty crazy stuff.

Overall 9.3/10 night. Saw a LOT of people I knew, had loads of fun, and the DJ didn't piss me off like usual. Would have been a 10/10 if I hadn't been an idiot haha.

Oh, and SWOLE VIRDEN IS GONNA BE ARRIVING IN EL AT LIKE 3:00AM TONIGHT!!!
