WORKOUT: 10 hills – 45 mins
A couple weeks ago S sent an email about a great contest on a local radio station. Keys to the Suite it was called. The winner and 9 friends would get a limo, drunk dinner at Cello then an entire suite to yourselves to watch Alicia Keys …. sweet. All you had to do was send in a picture of a crazy girls night out, then in 103 words explain why the night was so great.
I rarely post those type of pics on here, mostly because the people I am blackmailing pay up before I have to follow through with my threats, also I may someday want to be Queen or Supreme Court Judge. But I am rethinking my stand on ‘no non-running pictures’ after all your fabulous ego inflating comments. I am actually considering posting a picture of myself everyday and you can all say wonderful things.
I’m getting sidetracked ….
We entered the contest. All four of us sent in a different picture and story. We loaded the bases and our best hitter was up. There is no way we weren’t winning this contest.
We have been so confident, we have been planning the logistics. How and where the limo will pick us up. Who will be the five lucky friends we invite. What to wear. We even think we will be on the air because we are so much fun. They’ll definitely invite us back to do weekly guest spots.
Last night as I was driving to meet J for some hill fun, the guy on the radio says … the winner to the keys in the suite contest, right after this song. Stop car. Find phone. Clear throat. Practice surprise excited acceptance speech.
There is a phone ringing noise on the radio, but my phone is not ringing. Maybe there is a delay. Then a female voice says hello. It’s one of the other girls! Whichonewhichonewhichone.
“Hi, is that Joanne?”
Who the freck is Joanne!
We didn’t win. Here’s my entry that lost.
My friends threw a fabulous party for my 40th. I remember dancing, laughing with the most amazing group of friends, then woke up at 5.30am at home. I grabbed my phone and discovered what transpired. They sent this picture and texts summarizing my night.
Sambuca #8!
Security signed ur bday card
U took a guys belt off
Got this hot guy 2 kiss u!
You got ousted for going downstairs on your bum
Kicked out of bar at 40 … ha ha disgusting!
We took u home … alone!
Best night ever
Besides for a fabulous night out, a weekly gig on the radio, we also thought the picture would be published in the local paper. Then we would find out who mystery hottie is, his wife or gay lover would see it and kick him to the curb
… then our eternal love would blossom.

i do not like this post as i was not involved in any of the hi-jinx.
I love that you went down some stairs on your bum!
Stupid radio. On the other hand, I want to be around for your next birthday. I’ll pay for the limo!
When you adopted a healthy running lifestyle, I thought we had lost you. Somewhere between sambuca#8, took his belt off and you got kicked out I realized there is still hope. This is the Ali I know!
those dumb jocs didn’t know what they were missing
You should have won. Nice set of hills.
hahahahah…your hilareous. And my kind of girl! That other girl had a better story?!
Kristen … I don’t know her full story or haven’t seen the pic
On the radio she mentioned the pic was her and friends in vegas…

Too funny! I love that you thought you would get a weekly guest spot on the radio show. I would tune in.
Thanks for sharing one of ‘those’ moments with us.
Loved the next morning summary. Totally should have won.
