felt guilty <\/p><\/div>\n
I arrived at the event and was parched!\u00a0 Because I was trying to avoid having stale breath, I poured myself a drink.\u00a0 My options were pop or mineral water.\u00a0 I don’t care for mineral water, so sadly I had to go with a small glass of pop.\u00a0 I picked Sprite because my thinking is, if I can see through it, it’s not as bad.\u00a0 Totally flawed I realize but whatevs.\u00a0 Coming from someone who used to be a Coke fiend, the thought of drinking that now makes me cringe.\u00a0 I don’t even remember the last time I had pop because I stopped drinking it a while ago.\u00a0 However, new lesson learned for me last night!\u00a0 ALWAYS bring backup water with you.\u00a0 Make sure your purse is big enough to carry a bottle, even if it’s just a small 8oz thing.\u00a0 Which I should have realized last night because all of my “everyday” purses have a water bottle holder in them. It’s one of the first things I look for!\u00a0 Anyway, that was my first little indulgence.<\/p>\n
And also the only picture I got!\u00a0 I planned on getting many more but there was no opportunity to do so and I was a little bummed out by that.\u00a0 After putting my name in for a drawing and getting my small glass of pop, I headed over to the seating area and sat down next to a woman that I chatted with while we waited in line to add our names to the drawing.\u00a0 We chatted for a little bit and then there was an announcement telling us to make sure we signed in because we might be on the receiving end of a new running bag.\u00a0 I walked over to check and I was one of the lucky ones who scored a Mizuno bag!\u00a0 It’s technically called a volleyball bag but can be used for whatever.<\/p>\n

nice little bag <\/p><\/div>\n
It’s a backpack that you wear over one shoulder.\u00a0 The strap has a cellphone or MP3 holder on it.\u00a0 There are two waterbottle type holders on each side of the bag.\u00a0 Inside there is a deep main pocket, another larger pocket, and a smaller pocket that is also an accessory holder (pens, keys, change, for example).\u00a0 It’s a really nice little bag and would be great to take to a race or perhaps a small hike.<\/p>\n
I sat back down and the wine tasting started!\u00a0 And this is where disaster struck but I’ll get to that in a second.
\u00a0 There were six wines total that we tasted, two from each of their categories.\u00a0 I was surprised because that’s a good bit of wine!\u00a0 We started off with the reds.\u00a0 Each little pour was probably close to 1oz, it seemed like a lot though in our little glasses.<\/p>\n
