Ok, let's work backwards here.
Last night: Went to the Twins game with Meg and Deena and Donna. Donna got the tickets from a coworker and not only were they FREE, they were fantastic seats! Row 11 (there were only actually 6 rows in front of us) between home plate and the start of the Twins dugout. SO CLOSE. The Yankees were in town, and I had never seen them play in person.
Yankees: Tight pants, broken bats, bulging muscles and arm veins. Hideki Matsui for SURE not wearing a cup.
Boyfriend-on-boyfriend action: Michael Cuddyer throws out Derek Jeter trying to stretch a single into a double. Next inning, Yankees can't throw out Cuddyer who stretches a single into a double. Derek and Cuddles discuss the 2 plays at second base. *Swoon*
Great finish: Mauer hits a solo home run to tie the game at 5 apiece in the 7th. In the 8th, Little Nicky Punto moves Cuddles to 3rd (following his spectacular double), Delmon Young lines a double to right to score Cuddles, Joe Nathan shuts down the Yankees in the 9th.
I totally have to go to work now, but more on the weekend to follow, including a 20-mile run and a weekend full of softball.
The purpose of this blog was to document my training for the Twin Cities Marathon on October 7th 2007 and Grandma's Marathon on June 21st 2008. Now that they're done, this will just be... whatever, you know. And stuff.

20 miles?!? You are a rock star!
Whoa, you should not be allowed to save lives today -- you AFTERGOTT that we TOTALLY saw the Yankees last year at the Dome!! We sat in the right-field upper-deck and the Yankees won. Check your scorebooks.
And seriously those seats and the game ROCKED. I was re-living it all day today. When we are old babes sharing an apartment we will have to get season tickets that close!!
Oh, I remember now! Did we fotget the binoculars that day? We sat REALLY far away...
