One of the reasons I like to run in the East Maricopa Floodway is because I can run right under University Drive without having to stop for traffic.  Today as I was approaching the bridge I saw a dude ride his bike down and stop under the bridge.  He had his house packed on his bike.  I don't think he saw me coming because he was disrobing as I got there.  Or maybe he did...
Also, I completed Day 5 of the 30 Day Ab Challenge.  Well, I've completed all 5 days so far.  I just hadn't said anything about it.

The plan earlier this week was to go on a group trail run this morning.  However, I was up late last night trying to hit another deadline at work.  So it didn't happen.  Plan B was to run at the hottest time of the day.  I made sure to make that happen.  It was 104º.  I headed out on my normal course and saw a zanjero truck at the radial gate on 3 1/2 - 1/2W.  I went over to say hi.  It was Danny.  I knocked on the back of the truck.  That's a little thing I do since some zanjeros are known to jump and/or scream like girls when someone surprises them.  Danny was on the phone.  I waited a bit.  After a while it started getting awkward, so I slowly started to walk away.  Just then he opened his door.  We talked a while.  Then I took off.  I stopped a couple of time briefly to drink from my water bottle.  Then I did Day 7 of the 30 Day Ab Challenge.  40 situps, 20 crunches, 20 leg lifts, and a 30 second plank.  They add more (reps? sets?) each day.  So far I've been able to keep up.  But I don't know if I'll be able to soon.  I might have to start breaking them up throughout the day.
