Another 5 Finger person in Savannah

I didn’t run outdoors today after work like I said that I would. The reason for that was that 1, I didn’t go to work and 2, I went to the Y and ran on a treadmill instead.

Why didn’t I go to work today, you ask?  I’ll tell ya but I’ll spare you the details.  My toilet got clogged.  There you go.  Let your imagination run wild.  I won’t stop you.

I woke up at my normal 6:00 this morning but knew that work wasn’t in the works, if you know what I mean.  I emailed my boss about it and then went back to bed and didn’t rise from the dead until 1:30pm.  Can you believe that?  That is crazy, I tell you.  I ate something and then just kind of lounged around the house until 6:00pm and then, hit the gym because I was feeling pretty good.

I ran 30 minutes on the treadmill using an incline of .5.  The distance I covered on the treadmill was 3.12 miles and burned 359 calories.  And, I ran the 3 miles on my v5fingers!  Yes, I did.  And, it felt great.  Oh, I almost forgot!  I saw a fellow v5finger at the Y tonight!  And, she was very pretty;).  I talked to her for a few minutes.  She told me that she had just bought them at Half-Moon outfitters (same place I bought mine) and this was her first work out with them.  I was so excited at seeing someone else wearing the v5fingers that I almost asked her if I could take a picture of her feet.  I didn’t, of course.  I figured that would have been very unwise of me and, might of gotten me a well-deserved slap across my face.  So, I didn’t ask to photograph her feet wearing the 5fingers.  Maybe, later…if I get to know her better…then, it may not seem so weird.

I can just see it, “hello pretty lady.  May I photograph your feet?”  -WHACK!  Yeah, that wouldn’t have been smart.

I also did a 30 minute spin on a stationary bike.  I logged 7.17 miles in 30 minutes using level 10.  While I biked I read from my book, “Travels” by Michael Crichton.  I’m still reading that book.  I’m just a slow reader, I guess.  Where I left off, Crichton is in Kenya with his girlfriend, Loren.  I’ll keep you updated.

Tomorrow, I’m back at work.  After work, I’ll do the run I intended for today (Wendy’s parking lot to rtt & back) and then, hit the gym for a quick weight lifting workout.

I’m cranked now.  The old dan is back.  Its time to start revving up the miles.  This year, I will run two marathons and a 50 miler.

And, I’m starting all of my planning for my Tanzania trip for next year.  I’m kicking it man, I’m kicking it.

Thanks for taking the time to read my running blog.

Peace,

PS: I was sick last night because I ate some bad chicken.  The chicken was in my fridge for a week and in a bout of hunger, I gobbled it down without thinking.  Bad me.
