Pancake Log 10.03

Oatmeal blueberry

From Pancakes

The weekend started well. Friday night some teachers from school got together at one of our favorite restaurants on the beach, Don's. We had the whole downstairs room reserved for us and the evening was great, love their food! I had my usual Gorgonzola pizza dipped in honey. 

Saturday started with the oatmeal blueberry pancakes and phone calls home. The pancakes were both my breakfast and mid morning snack before my run. The run went fine until I completely biffed it at 3.5 miles, badly scraping both my knees. I had chosen my route specifically because it was in a relatively secluded area with little traffic or people. I had to walk with my pants rolled up above my knees, getting very cold. I got to a main road about 0.5mi up and am sure freaked out some Japanese people with the blood dripping down my legs. Another 0.5mi up I finally came it a 7i (basically 7-11) and bought some bandages, thank God I was prepared and had money with me. The lady at the counter did yell out and pointed at my legs as if I didn't know about my knees. I walked another 1.5mi to get home, get this... I DIDN"T get lost! (I know I am surprised.)
