New York Edition

Yesterday Grace & I stopped by the the New York Edition hotel on Madison Avenue in Manhattan. It just opened this week and was designed by Ian Schrager. He's the one who got me into the Hospitality business. Mr. Schrager takes a creative approach to hotel and apartment development. It was a direction I wanted to go too. Seeing the New York Edition was a monument to Ian Schrager's work. Grace & I were impressed. The staff were gracious. Thank you Mr. Schrager!

Healthy Kidney 10K

So today I ran the Healthy Kidney 10K race in Central Park, New York City. My finishing time was 46:51. It was very humid which made it feel hot. Ran it right about where I thought I would. Held out some hope of finishing under 45 minutes but knew that wasn't going to happen at Mile 4. Sure good to be running again in Central Park.

Ready To Race

Tomorrow I run the Healthy Kidney 10K race in Central Park, New York Ciy. My training has been really good leading up the race. I feel fit. It's been 18 months since I've run a New York Road Runners race.  The last race was the 2013 NYC Marathon. My ultimate goal tomorrow is try and finish this race under 45 minutes. I've never done that in a 10K race. I'll give it all I have. 

Concert For Grace

I played my rock opera THE FRONT DESK for Grace today. She said she liked it. That makes me very happy. 

One More Run

This morning I'll go out and run one last time before my 10K race on Saterday. My training has gone really well. Keep tuning up. 

5/27/15 Set List

These are the songs I practiced today:

Grand Opening
Under New Management 
Continental Breakfast 
Beyond Baghdad 
The Fish

Tuning Up

Ran 9 miles his morning. Getting tuned up for the 10K race on Saterday. The training has been really good. Let's see if it translates to the weekend.

When They Work

Then I play!

Good Running Week

Had a really good week of running. Feel in shape for the 10K I'm running on Saturday. I'll tune up this week. 

Out To Lunch

Heading out to have lunch in just a bit at a restaurant called Chart House. Apparently it has a great view of Manhattan and i hear the food is really good too. I'll bring my appetite.

Fast Run

My training run was fast for me today. This after running very slow yesterday. There's always give & take with my training. Tomorrow I'll most Likely give it a rest. My 10K race is next week. 

David Letterman

Last night I watched David Letterman's final TV show. It reminded me a lot of Johnny Carson's final show back in 1991. It's the end of an era. Whenever I'm in Time Square, his name would be prominent on the Ed Sullivan Theater marquee. He was unique to those who do Late Night TV.

Run & Work

Went for a run this morning and then off to work this afternoon. That's my Wednesday.

Go To Work

I work this evening. Time to go. Bye

So There

Working on this & playing with that so there.

In 2 Weeks

2 weeks from today I'll be running in the Healthy Kidney 10K in Central Park, New York City. The 1st time I ran this race was 10 years ago. It will be interesting to see how I match up to then. 

Early Work

I go into work early tomorrow morning. My alarm is set just incase of oversleeping. Goodnight people of the blog.

I ran 7 miles this afternoon. My 1st run of the week.

Wow I'm tired! I'll rest for the day since I'm working tonight. 

Mother's Day

I wished my Mom a Happy Mother's Day today. I love her so!

Very Good Run

Went out and ran 7 miles today. Surprised to have had as much speed to the workout as I did. This is very encouraging!

Jersey City

Went to Jersey City, New Jersey today. Took the Light Rail which is like a Subway or Tram. Had a late lunch and then took a walk around downtown. Just like Summer. 

Spring To Summer

It feels like Summer out there. A great Spring day!

Summer Weather

It feels like Summer weather,
That makes me feel better.

Electric Bass

My plan is to write some new songs and I'll plug in and amp up. Usually I don't use amplification but I need a Change. 

7 Miles

Ran 7 miles this morning. A good way to start off the work week. Didn't go very fast but did finish strong. Keep the workout going. 

Today Sunday

Tomorrow Monday
