Kind of a planned day off... I had a massage after work and planned on running after... but it was so HOT!! I have been running in the hot all week! So I was on my way to to gym to run on the treadmill but all of a sudden my car turned and headed home... it was the weirdest thing! So I will catch up on other things tonight. 

Plan for tomorrow is an easy 4 hopfully in the morning. Then I have to run the running portion of the B.R.A.T. at work. Let me explain... I work with a bunch of automotive engineers who also bike at lunch. I have biked with them a couple of times but they are very competative and I get tired of being dropped within the first few turns of the road. Anyway they have this silly race that they started. It's on the parkway by the river, that is close to our job. I run down there a few times at lunch when I can. So first they have a bike ride on the dirt trails by the path... then they have to tube down the river to a certain point, then they have to run back to the start with their tube. So one of the guys has had some knee issues and wants me to do the running part. They wanted me to do the whole thing with them, I think just so they could get a girl to do it. They are pretty funny.

Maybe your car knew what was best. I hope the massage was helpful.

Don't let those engineers push you around.

Civil engineers rule!

Burt's right; ditch the auto engineers - civil engineers are the hot stuff....

You have to run while carrying the tube? I'm trying to picture that...

Yep Sno... a bit black float tube... it was pretty crazy, luckily the guy that wanted me to do the running part is not too competitive, and most of them are just out there having fun.
