Another Migraine

I have a migraine headache right now. Took some tablets and ate some food. It seems to be helping. It's the middle of the night and I go to work this morning. I will be busy today. The hotel is sold out.

Running Shoes Needed

I'm going to have to wear a different pair of running shoes. The ones I wore at the marathon last week really bothered a couple of my toes. One in particular is quite sore. It blistered underneath the nail and that hurts. If I can't find a comfortable pain in the store, then I'll have to wear my sneakers from last year. They just don't have a soft cushioned heel like I want. I'll make that trade knowing they don't bruise my toes.

TWO WEEKS NOTICE

My mind is made
Like a bed in a vacant/ready room
14 more days
They couldn't arrive too soon

I'm giving 2 weeks notice
That's it
I quit.

Crazy State

I'm living in a crazy state
The only thing crazier is my blind date.

The Next Job

2 more weeks then I'll take my weekends back. The next job I get I want the weekends off. I would love to work 9 to 5 Monday through Friday. That's the job I want.

The Best Thing

Quitting this job and moving from this area is the best thing I can do. There is nothing here for me. Leaving nouns is what I do best.

Peekskill Coffeehouse

I'm typing this at the Peekskill Coffeehouse. I ordered a small cup. In fact, the size is big enough for me. This place is doing a hopping business. It's getting pretty crowded. Time for me to go.

Big Changes

This week marks some big changes in my life. I'll be done with my old job and starting a new one next month. I'm also moving at the end of September so there is much for me to do. All the things I want to do are happening now.

Post Marathon Run

It's been a couple of days after the marathon and I feel good. I'll go for a run tomorrow and get back at it. I'm not working so let's see how the weather is. I did hear it could rain. It's nice out now.

4:05:31

That's the time I ran today in the Self-Transcendence Marathon today. I'm disappointed that I didn't finish under 4 hours. That my goal in these races. My legs tightened up and I had no kick for the last 2 miles. If I did, then I would have taken those 5 and a half minutes off. It didn't happen today. I run the New York City Marathon inA couple of months. I'll try to do better then.

Self-Transcendence Marathon

In 24 hours I run in the Self-Transcendence Marathon In Nyack, New York. My over/under finishing time is 4 hours. I feel ready to go. All the training comes down to this. Time to run.

Ik

Ik woon in het huis
Ik ga te mijn arbiet
Ik slaap in het bed
Goede Avond.

The Starting Line

Now that I'm done with work, I can look ahead to my marathon this Friday. It's called the Self-Transcendence Marathon in Nyack, New York. This is a Summer marathon and I hope to run it under 4 hours. We'll see how it goes.

Marathon Weather

My first marathon of the year is Friday. The weather forecast for calls for partly sunny skies and less humid with highs in low 80's. I couldn't ask for better weather.

Taper Down

It's now time for me to taper down with any workouts. My first marathon of the year is Friday. The work is done and now it's time to take the test.

Paint Brush

Really feel like painting today. This will also be one of my last practice runs before the marathon on Friday. Nice to have a day off.

7 Days

Just worked 7 days in a row at the hotel and now I'm off tomorrow. Good time to do some painting. Not sure yet if it's going to be abstract or landscape. I know I'll be painting outside. The weather is suppose to be nice.

The Finish Line

The Marathon Jitters

I'm starting to get the marathon jitters. The race is this Friday. My biggest concern is my conditioning. Did I do enough training for the long distance? How do I feel? Why am I sore here? These are the questions I have. I do feel fit and so I'm ready to go. Taper down training for the next few days.

Hump Day Saturday

Since I work Tomorrow and Monday, this is my hump day. I'm about to watch Yankees vs Red Sox. I hope the Yankees beat up the Sox like they did last night. I can't stand the Red Sox and their fans are a bunch of crybabies. It's always about the Yankees with them. Just proves who the superior team & fans are. Go Yanks!

Future Fact

I'm done with this job in a few weeks.

Keep The Love

It feels like you stole my feelings of love away form me
So unconcerned you are that you won't even read this
Keep the love my emotional thief
It's not like I can go and love somebody else.

Awake

After waking up in the middle of the night and then falling asleep again, I'm back up and starting the new day. The Summer Marathon I'm running is a week from today. The thought of that gives me the pre race jitters. I'm always anxious before a big race, Even if there's a week to go. They'll be jump rope, 3-Mile runs, weights & stretching in preparation for the race. Keeping it under 4 hours is my goal. Talk to you later.

Can't Sleep

After a night of solid sleep yesterday, tonight I'm typing on my blog. I did get some shut eye before. I've been having some vivid dreams with people of the past & present. They seem so real. A whole bunch going on in my head. Goodnight people of the blog.

Die Bomen

Het is mooi weer vandaag. Die bomen hebben 's zomers groene bladeren en 's winters geen bladeren . Die grote bomen voor het huis zijn erg mooi.

Good Sleep

I did have a good sleep last night. After doing so much yesterday, I just shut down when hitting the bed. That Summer heat some people were complaining about is gone. The weather has been great. I run a marathon next week and this would be ideal conditions. We'll see what happens.

Sleepy Time Time

Title of a Cream song. I should sleep good tonight since I did jump rope in the morning and ran 3 miles in the afternoon. In between was work. I feel it coming on.

Long Stretch

I have a long stretch of work for the next several days. I'm working the morning shift right up until Monday. That's 7 days in a row. This will be a challenge to my tapering down training for the marathon just 9 days away. I'll be jumping rope and running a few miles. Throw in the stretching & weights too. Countdown to the start is on.

1 For Tuesday

Up early and off to work soon. Busy week ahead. Talk to you later blog people.

Off Peak

Took the last off peak train back upstate. As much as I would have like to have stayed in NYC for the rest of the day, I have to get up early and go to work tomorrow. It was fun going to Greenwich Village, Union Square, Chinatown and Little Italy. They've become my stomping grounds when I'm down there. Go ahead bite the Big Apple.

City Bound

I'm on the train heading into New York City. Great weather to be in the Big Apple.

Monday People

I'm not sure what I'll do today?!

Pre Marathon Ritual

If there's one thing that happens to me the days before running a marathon is this ability to feel aches & pains. I have a way of stubbing my toes before the big race. In many ways, my pre race ritual is about just staying healthy. Now is not the time to do too much. My training now is about tapering down. The heavy lifting is Done sow it's time to take the test.

Not Much

Not much going on really. I go to work this morning and then come home and do some creative stuff. Might take a trip to New York City tomorrow. That's about it. Bye.

I'd like to get away

I'd like to get away
I'm at it everyday.

In 2 Weeks

2 weeks for today I run my 1st marathon of the year and if I get under 4 hours then I'll think about today's training run. I didn't get out there until the afternoon. Normally, I only like to run in the morning. But I was motivated to get out there and I feel better about it. Now all of my training goes to getting ready for this race. I would like to get one more long distance run in and then I'll be tapering down. Weights & stretching are in order too. Just getting ready for the big race.

Rain Today

I heard the local weatherperson describe today's forecast as a carbon copy of yesterday. That's not true because it wasn't pouring out yesterday morning. It's supposed to be wet for the rest of the day. It figures I have the day off. Thought about taking a sightseeing tour of Manhattan but that's not fun in the rain. I'll just do the things that I do right here.

Thursday Poem

Time moves slow
You want to go
Find a new place
Don't act in haste

Find your time
Be so kind
Hear them say
Have a good day.

Friday Off

I haven't had a Friday off in a long time. I'll be working all weekend. I thought it was going to rain all day, but for the most part, it's been pretty dry. Now I'll snack for dinner.

Summer Along

The Summer days roll along. We're almost done with the 1st week of August. I go into work this morning and I'll go easy after I'm done. No running today. Summertime.

Worked The Field

Went out and raked most of the cut grass that was on the lawn. Only so much I can do on an acre of land. I'll finish the flats in a couple of days.

2 In A Row

I've run more miles in the last 2 days than I did all of last week. I'm just 2 weeks away from my 1st marathon of the year. I feel ready for it. The training goes on.

Paint

I want to do some painting today. Maybe an abstract is in order. Something to represent the Summer day. Paint away.

Mowed The Lawn

I mowed the lawn this afternoon. It was something I started a few days ago. It rained yesterday so this was my best opportunity to finish it. The cut grass looks like hay out there. I'll need to rake it up. One thing at a time though.

New Dress Shoes

Went out this morning and bought a pair of new dress shoes. All of my other ones were worn out. These are very comfortable and not expensive. the only thing about them is that they tend to wear out quickly. They will get good use.

Slow Start

Took some headache medicine since I felt lousy last night. Tried to sleep it off but that didn't work. I'm feeling better now. Don't think I'll make it to New York City today. Things I can get done here upstate. The weather is supposed to be nice. That's nice.

2 Do

I have a couple of days off and there are plenty of options for me. I might go to New York City or go for a long marathon training run. I would also like to do some painting and play some music. Thing for me to do.

Sunday In The Sun

Cold In Summer

I feel a cold coming on. My nose is runny and my throat is getting sore. It could also be allergy related. I mowed the lawn yesterday and that takes a toll on me. I would like to get a good night's sleep. In unrelated news, I did get a ticket to the Sean Lennon concert in September. I'm looking forward to it.

Saturday In The Dark

I think it was the 3rd of August. When you get up at 3:30 AM like I do, it is dark outside. I go to work this morning. I'm going to try and get tickets for the Sean Lennon concert in Kingston, New York this morning. I'll try to purchase them online. I think they could sell out fast with the venue being so small. These are the important these I do when I'm working.

Full Day

Went for a 4-Mile run before the sun came up. Worked 8 hours behind the front desk of a hotel this morning. And mowed close to an acre of grass this afternoon. I would call that a full day. Goodnight people of the blog.

My Middle Week

I work the next few days and it's Friday. I will be finished with this job in 6 weeks. I'll be moving on to other things. That's how I live.

Keep On Jammin'

My Tuesday

It might be Thursday on the calendar, but it's like a Tuesday for me. I have the morning shift at the hotel right up until Sunday. Then I get Monday & Tuesday of next week off. I do like working the morning shift. The one thing for me is I have to change my routine of marathon training. I'll have to go out after work and run and that's usually the last thing I want to do since I've been on my feet all day. I just go with the changes and hope it makes me stronger.
