Busy day...

Managed 8.25 on the treadmill at lunch working up to 5:56 pace. 

Oh yeah, If I get approached by one more goofball at the gym trying to spread the gospel of the Vibram Five Fingers I'm not going to be responsible for my actions. Three times now! Twice was the same guy but still. 

PM: 6.25 miles around Liberty Park on the squishy wood chip path.

Hahaha! C'mon Rob, don't you know that running shoes are DESIGNED to get us injured? And that its a huge conspiracy that all began w/ that sociopath Bill Bowerman? And that the only REAL runners are the tarahumaras, and they have like 1000 guys who could break 2 hours for the marathon? Its science.

Thanks guys, for putting it in the proper perspective for me. I'll try and be more tolerant.

I like the look the "goofball" gives you after the speech, like; you are a runner, and yet so stupid as to still use shoes?
