Last weekend I ran a race called "Step Up For Cancer." It was a big cancer benefit where racers ran the stairs around Dick's Sporting Goods Park. I won the race as the fastest female, finishing in 10 minutes and 39 seconds. Guess what I won? A free ticket on Southwest Airlines! So I'm going to visit my best Muslim friend in Virginia for her wedding. I. Am. So. Excited. She is having a traditional Muslim ceremony with her ravishing Argentinian beau. Not only that, but her brother and his Indian/ Pakistani fiance will also have their ceremony at the same time. Then, our other best friend is coming from New York to attend the ceremony as well. Together, we will go back to New York, where I will spend time with her and some of my other long-lost loves. Did I mention the fact that my family friends are so graciously letting me stay at their place in Virginia for free?
Basically, for a mere 10 minutes and 39 seconds of work, I've gotten a week of freebies and the chance to see one of the most beautiful, touching wedding ceremonies I will surely ever encounter.
It pays to be healthy.
Congrats! I'll be moving to New York in 2012! You better run another set of stairs and pay me a visit.
