Date day

Today was date day.  That is as exciting as it sounds as Chuck Norris and I generally don't have coinciding days off, so today we went out for brunch to this delicious place called Insomnia.  If you haven't been - I highly recommend that you go.  It is located in The Annex district of Toronto - on Bloor Street just East of Bathurst.   This place has a great atmosphere - yummy food and to top it all off it has probably the best coffee that I have tasted in a long time.   So go.  You hopefully will not be disappointed.

Middle of date day involved me hitting the gym.  This does not go without an Andrea having a moronic moment story.  Ready?

SO  I drove to the gym and did an absolutely gorgeous, smooth parallel park.  This doesn't happen very often (if at all.. I usually end up in Austin Powers like situations).  So rare does this beautiful park job happen in fact that I almost picked up my Blackberry and called CN to tell him how awesome i am.  However... I ended up having to call anyway because of this...  

You know how when you park you have an automatic put car into park turn car off take keys out routine?  Well I did this routine pretty slick and maybe too quickly because my ignition thinger got jammed between the off section and the ACC section, meaning my car wouldn't turn on OR off.  I freaked out.  Called CN... he didn't know what to do.  So I whipped out my AMA card (after trying to muscle the key onto the off position and probably looking quite manic whilst doing so..) and called AMA to tow/figure it out.  The man shows up about 20 minutes later and hops into my drivers seat.  He fiddles around with the ignition and... nothing happens.   THEN he looks at me and he goes...

"Well... next time ma'am you should probably put your car into park before taking out the key."

................. insert Andrea feeling like a HUGE moron............

SO in my slick getting out of the carness I didn't fully put my car into park and it jammed up the ignition.  Meaning nothing is wrong at all with my car.. I'm just borderline useless. 

A little red in the face from embarrassment and the cold spell that is going on outside - I booted it to my destination - the gym.

I proudly beat my distance once again!  So chalk up another hour for me!!!! Bringing my totals tooooo....

5 hours.   37km.   Still 2 blisters, however popped blisters- they're pretty nasty actually... I should get moleskin.  And a band-aid.  Perhaps both.  

Taking the weekend off running!  Will be back at 'er  Monday.
