February 6, 2008 - I got really dirty at work today. I spent all day sorting through boxes, cutting cables, moving things with the pallet jack and forklift. It was fun, but hard work. Ken bought lunch for me today. I almost forgot it was Ash Wednesday (just like I do every year), until I saw Gina with an ash cross on her forehead. That reminded me...no meat today. I had the fish sandwich from Checkers. It wasn't very good. But the banana shake was. After a hard day of labor, I went home, and...went to the gym. Two days in a row. Jamie became a member today, and met me up there. I managed to run 3 kilometers in under 17 minutes, which I thought was pretty good. I'm going to try to build up my stamina for running 5k's and maybe start running in local races again. I like being competitive in the things that I do because it gives me drive to keep going and keep improving. So anyway, after the gym, I picked up pizza from Hungry Howies for Wacky Wednesday, and then went home, ate, then went to band practice. On the way home I picked up some kleenex for Ellie, since she is sick, and then took it easy for the rest of the night.
