Sunday Randomness

Today was a pretty productive day, despite being a Sunday. Since the weather was beautiful this afternoon, I went out running. I reversed my usual route, and went out towards Arlington Cemetary and came back by Key Blvd. from Rosslyn. That turned out to be a mistake, since the steep hill up Key Blvd. ended my run prematurely. Still, I managed to get a little over three miles in, which wasn't too bad.

I had to do some shopping at Target (the middle-class Wal-Mart) today, and when I got to the full parking lot, I realized that I had forgotton that everyone was out doing Christmas shopping. (Yeah, how did I manage to forget that?) Still, I was suprised at how quickly I got in and out of the store, despite the store being mobbed. They had enough checkout lines running that people were getting out the door pretty quickly. I wish every store was as good at dealing with crowds.
