AM: Fink Cemetery/Fire Cracker loop - 10.3 miles, averaged 7:45

PM: North side - 5.5 miles, averaged 7:56. Did a few strides.

To save time, I tried to shave and foam roll. Although I use an electric razor, this isn't easy. It's like patting your head and rubbing your stomach.

Got a chuckle out of that mental image - shaving and foam rolling. Duathlete.

I promise it looked AT LEAST as comical as it sounds. The circular motion and rolling motion were more coordinated an effort than I could handle!

What really cracks me up is that i used the exact same analogy yesterday when i was telling my wife that I've been attempting to do toe raises while brushing my teeth.

Your labors in efficiency are unmatched, sir. And also, very funny.

Matt: Another fine example. As I was putting on my compression socks this morning I thought I could try adding that to the mix.

One of those moments when you have to laugh at yourself, Tom. It was a humorous cap to a stressful day.
