So how to get my run in.... We are in the middle of a winter storm. Not huge amounts of snow, just huge amounts of ice. This made running outside this morning and today simply impossible. Okay, no worries, just go to the rec center after work. Ummm no. They closed. As a matter of fact the gym by the house also closed due to the storm. Well I had a good day at work and was trying to figure out how to get a run in... I could run in place with the Wii Fit or Wii Active... nah... so I got out my old Nike+ and my house has a 'circle' from the kitchen, to dining room to front room and YES I made it my indoor track. Okay so it was small and strange and I rounded down with my Nike+ to account for discrepancies and there ya have it. A family who looked at dad very strange as he ran around the carpet..... runners are strange people.

HAHA Yes, runners are super strange. And I also had a great day at work ;) So Lee & I decided to pretend to be eskimo's or something and went jogging/slipping/running and ended our night at Famvid LOL. I wish we had a circle in our place....I guess I could run from the back door to the front door over and over. Anywho, nicely done sir

The good thing is that you are as strange as me :)
