Training Day

In preparation for Bay to Breakers, I ran from my office all the way to the Bayfront Park by the Dumbarton bridge during lunch time today. Fortunately, prior to running, I uploaded the song "Eye of the Tiger" to my Ipod shuffle. I had it on repeat the entire time while random people on the street joined me and cheered me on.

I was exhausted by the end of the run, and I got a lovely blister on my left foot.


This is the trail that I took today. Run Frodo! Run!
According to Duc, it was approximately a 5 mile run


Now that I've experienced the pain of running long distance, I think it is total bullshit how Frodo Baggins and Samwise Gamgee were able to travel over 1500 miles from the Shire to Mordor. I mean, won't they get blisters? Even if they were wearing the nicest pair of nike shoes, they would have been worn out before they are half way there!
