Full Metal Lunchbox

 

This post will be short because I don't have much to write about.

I set a personal distance record on Sunday when I ran 13.5 miles (9:27/mile pace).  Aside from the distance and speed, this particular long run was noteable for:

• Russian TV crew in camoflage stalking us at start and finish
  
• Sight of my former condo's porch contractor riding a stationary bicycle topless at the North Avenue Beach Bally's
  
• Surprise encounter with Jason & Leah running the opposite direction
  
• Using up my sprint energy (at speeds dipping below 6:45/mile) for nearly 1/2 mile to catch up with my group again after above two encounters

I learned a lot about Russian TV production and how to manage distractions that day.

Since Sunday morning I've taken a short hiatus from running to concentrate on my other hobby: eating.

Here is the snack I had at work this morning at 5:30AM:

Chinese roast pork, pei par duck, Diet Red Bull, and greasy almond cookie

Tonight I run again with the Gumballheads, and afterwards we're going to our favorite Tuesday night hangout: the Twisted Spoke.  I'll probably have a salad.
