Bum cheeks and Run freaks

Inspired by the gumption of my sister and our new Ottawan-turned-Wellingtonian friend, I have decided to enter a race. I plan to run a half-marathon on June 25th. This gives me plenty of time to get in fighting shape. To that end, yesterday and today I walked the one hour to work. It is mostly downhill which I figured would be fine but apparently walking downhill uses muscles that I seldom use cuz I am sore. Monday I start the real training with a run at lunchtime with some work mates.

Now for the explanation of the picture above. Yesterday I walked by this billboard and today I figured I should get a picture. Party pills as they call them are a legal party drug in New Zealand. I found it pretty crazy that they promote them as "a smart, safe alternative to illegal drug use". More info from wikipedia on the active ingredient BZP.
