    On Friday I slept in a bit and then had a 12 o'clock meeting and then prepared to go out running. Sure it was mostly walking, but I did run at times. I had to fight the wind as always. I had to fight the wind to get over 680 and then walked down to the old waterpark and then over to Arroyo Laguna and then to Pleasanton sports Park. I got a few more miles in and then headed back to the hotel

    It had been about 14 miles so I had a few blisters and was pretty tired, but I showered and got ready to go out.

    My friend met me at the hotel and we prepared some karaoke songs and I went over to the Gallagher's pub in Dublin. It was a lively night with an average of 40 people there the entire evening. I sang about five songs. The weight was usually only 20 to 30 minutes. There were a lot of extreme rock singers there so it got incredibly loud at times and I mainly escaped outside overall it was fun, but the experience was getting a little boring and I'm not sure when I would go back. It's kind of lost its thrill at least there.

    At 2 AM it closed and I walked back to my hotel. It was fun to walk through the empty streets at night and then under the freeway though it is well lit for such travelers. Bed time was around 3am. Yeah, a long day.
