Went running with the people training for the marathon. Catherine Miller-Little was there, so I talked with her. She ran with a slower group though. It was FREEZING! The run was gorgeous though. I was running with 30 or so people and we were only 1 of 12 groups! We ran 20K at 5:30km/min pace (about 12.5 miles at a little under 9 min. mile pace). It's so much fun to have company to run with. It's a bit nerve wrecking to be running along with all these elbows right at my nose level. Danes are generally very tall. There was some guy who I think was famousish for his run in the London marathon who was running with us. I don't know. We all clapped for him but I don't know Danish.
Went home and then had lunch and did homework.
Went into DIS to print out a paper and watch a movie. It was a bit strange. Der Gronne Slagterers. It was about these two men who open up a meat store. They both have some psychological issues. One of the men always sweats, his parents died when he was young, and was bullied in school. He has trouble keeping relationships. One of the men hates animals because a deer swerved in front of a car and resulted in a crash killing his parents and new wife. His twin bro goes into a coma but comes out of it in the movie and they reconcile. They sell human flesh at the shop as chicky-wickies (chicken nuggets) somewhat unintentially because they are creepy and desperate. They kill people by locking them in the freezer room. They become famous because of it although and it ends up being the marinade that is so great not the meat itself. It sounds really gross from this but it is actually kind of a sweet movie. There are some very nice moments between the two brothers and the two friends. It was good but bizarre.
Jens' two sisters and two nephews came for dinner. It was nice but they talked all in Danish. I was able to generally follow though. The two boys were 12 and got fidgetly quickly. They were playing with the pepper and goofing with their cell phones. They left to watch Kill Bill 2 so I went to join them. It not a very good movie.
It was the day of strange movies I guess.
