museum day

normally if someone said, "my workout was walking around a museum," i would probably think to myself, "how could that be a workout? it's just walking!"

but... since i am *differently-abled* at the moment (as a result of the radiologist's poor needlework), and because i walked all over every room of the academy of sciences, followed by every room of the impressionists exhibit at the de young museum, i'm counting it.  i have no idea how many miles it all added up to, but i was walking/wandering/gazing for about 6 hours (with a stop for lunch, another stop later for juice, and one other stop on a bench for a few minutes between the academy and the de young).  most of the time, i was on my feet.  i am now cultured, but at the expense of my calves.

oh, also, the other reason i'm counting this as a workout: i did it all wearing my new vibram five finger shoes.  you know... those weird shoes that look like gloves for your feet?  i just recently got them, so i'm still not sure what to think.  they're comfortable when you're wearing them, but you're sore when you take them off. also, they look really goofy.  i will have a fully-formed opinion about it after i've gone running in them a couple times (but can't do that until my crippled status gets reverted...). apparently running is what they're best for.
