Bus to VMFA

OK so here's a video of me running along beside the bus as it got started. This was shot by members of my Big studio class as they rode the GRTC to the local art museum. Shortly after this was shot the bus turned onto Broad St. and lost me in about 3 seconds. That video is really hard to see though. However, I was told shortly after I got there that I was only about 4 minutes behind them which makes me think, "Hey, maybe it's not so bad to run everywhere".

Bigger and Bigger

I'm going corporate!! Google is paying me to advertise on this page and I thought that added an interesting element to this otherwise profitless project. So don't be alarmed by the adds just take note of how big this is all becoming.
I've got a food video involving a great and unintended moment of  futility but it won't upload right now so I'll get it to you later.
It's still killing me not to be able to walk beside anyone and talk with them. That's my number 1 complaint about this project. However, since I was ahead of my class to wait for the bus at the bus stop-even though I wasn't going to be taking the bus-I found a $5 bill!!! Good times :D. I think that's all I've got to say for today. I ran about 11.54 miles today and here's the map. Click on View Larger Map for more details.

running in the rain makes me have to pee

Don't worry folks, there's more to come today. I just wanted to get this video up right now instead of later when I'm working on a lot of other things.

no nausea/no Shafer today was golden

 Oh today, today was a day of many pleasures :D. It rained/hailed this morning. I thought my face was going to freeze off when I was running to class and I felt rather chilly in my first two classes while things dried off. I ran to a resume building workshop-needless to say I looked incredibly professional in my sporty attire. I visited the doctor and all seems well but the wait was long.
But seriously, a lot of good things did happen today. Tuesday might be my favorite day of classes, I got to hang out with Tyler a little bit. That's becoming increasingly difficult because I'm usually too tired to go over there and hang out with him.  The resume writing workshop may have proved helpful. Now maybe someone will hire me :D. I recruited some people to read my blog-maybe. 
That's a good lead in to an important point. If you're reading this blog you should become an official follower by clicking on 'follow this blog'. Show some support, please :D. 
Some influence the running has had over my life is That I still can't walk anywhere with anyone- it just feels lamer and lamer-that's when a lot of the good conversing goes down-AND I have no weekend social life because I don't want to run anywhere! Hopefully this will change on the up and coming weekend. 
Today I ran about 5.87 miles and here's the map.
