This morning my sub-6:00-am run took me over to 4500 South and 700 East and back to Smith’s to pick up some groceries for breakfast before heading back home.  The total distance of this run was 2.1 miles at an easy pace in Vibram Five Fingers.

After I got home from work, I went on an evening run up to the Brickyard Shopping Plaza and back.  The distance of this run was 4.0 miles at an easy-pace.

For my non running workout, it was another repeat of day eleven (i.e., week 4, day 2) of the Push-up Challenge. This time I completed 127 push-ups over the follow five sets which consisted of 25, 25, 25, 25, and 27 push-ups.  I was also able to sneak in 200 sit-ups before calling it a day.

I so love how you run and grocery shop!

Now that I'm trying to go on more early morning runs, I have discovered that grocery shopping is great at 5:00 am because absolutely no one is in the store (i.e., on this particular run, with self-checkout, the single cashier did not even bother to come in from his smoke break while I shopped). Also, I cannot even imagine how frustrated you are with your PF. However, remember that in the long run, you'll be even a stronger runner for having suffered and fought through it. Lastly, from Scott’s Hobblecreek run, he's absolutely on the verge of running a BQ race!

DO NOT try to shop at 11:00 at night, that is the worst time!

Yes, i would have to agree. Scot can totally do it, if his body will cooperate he is very there. So, if I do not get to run St George myself, hopefully I can be there to cheer him in under 3:15! Looking forward to Boston is about all I have right now.
