Zach: Day 10 of 10,220
Friday, September 19, 2008 at 4:55PM Good afternoon America! Day 10 complete! I am in kind of a hurry today. Gotta get to Columbia tonight so I can wake up, run and start tailgating bright and early for tommorrow's 7:00 game against the mighty terriers of Wofford. I had alot of errands to run today including getting a planters wart burnt off my foot. I know it sounds gross, but it had to be done. I am so thankful that the operation went smoothly. I was very concerned that it might hinder my ability to run free from pain. My feet are now my instruments of destiny and I must treat them with the utmost respect. i told Dr. Vest (the planters wart removal specialist) of my goal, and he said that it is not entirely impossible, and that he is pulling for me. He also recommended that I begin to take some vitamin supplement that I have written down, but can't remember. It is made to lubricate the joints, and since I have 10,210 days left joint lubrication is paramount.
Before I left the house I banged out 25 perfect push-ups. I wore a yellow Sam's Corner t-shirt, Nike running shorts, and my headband. I opted to run wih no Ipod today. It was gorgeous outside today and I decided to run along Boyle road in North Litchfield. Prior to my run I ate an entire plate of Mongolian beef from P.F. Changs with my Uncle Tim. Needless to say, this did not enhance today's running experience, but I easily ran 1.8 miles. I passed no other runners or pedestrians. I did however get a head nod from a great looking older caucasion couple who were both decked out in some sort of African tribal garb riding on beach cruisers. Good for them. Who cares what you're wearing. You're on vacation! When I finished my run I went by the bank and got some change for the restaurant from Cindy, my favorite teller, who happens to be an open supporter of runningfor28years.squarespace.com. Thanks Cindy! I then returned to the house to take a shower. I was about to hop in, but "oh no, I havent completed my second set of pushups." I immediately hit the floor and complete 25 towel wrapped pushups.
Tomorrow's run will likely be an early morning jog around the Rosewood/Shandon area. Hopefully I will have internet access at some point in the day. If not, then please don't fear. Just check back on Sunday for further updates. I'm off to Columbia to hang out with my pal Chris Stacey. Go cocks! Go Chargers!

Day 15: I got up at 6 this morning and ran a quick 2 miles before my pony football game. I can't log in for some reason so I haven't been able to post.
