Great Uncle Pat

My nephew Ryan and his wife Monika had a baby last night. His name is Cooper Michael And all are doing great!

Air Conditioning

I had to put on the air conditioner. It's too hot & humid in the apartment.

Slow Bones Go

Went out and ran 90 minutes this morning. It wasn't easy since I felt tired from work last night. Glad to get the run in. No work today so I'll play. 

Off Tomorrow

I'm off from work tomorrow. I'll work tonight and then see what Thursday brings. 

Fast Run

Went out and ran pretty fast this morning. This after not running the last couple of days. I needed to take a bit of a break from the training routine. Now I'm ready to go. 

Monday Last July

This is the last Monday in July. We are deep into the Summer. I love it!

At Ease

No sense in stressing out about things. 

New Work Week

Go into work this morning. My biggest challenge has been coworkers who want to change my schedule. Bad news for them. 

Saturday Sun

Beautiful day out there today with the Saturday Sun in the blue sky. 

MOMA NYC

Grace & I are off to New York City. We're to check out the Museam of Modern Art among other things. Bye!

Break From Running

No run today. I'm tired. Going to work this afternoon. Time to rest. 

Change

The weather changed. It's not as humid as the last few days. Got a run in this morning and I'll go to work this afternoon. Change. 

11 Miles

Started a new week of marathon training. I'll try and keep the momentum going.

The Rekoning

It's Time To Pay

Not My Best

Feel pretty tired,

Not my best,

Feeling quite wired,

Need some rest.

Heat Time

Hot one out there today. Another hot one tomorrow. Heat time.

A Short Turnaround

I work tonight & tomorrow morning. A short turnaround.

Friday Naps

I took 2 naps today. 1 after running and then another after walking. I still feel like I'm going to get a good night's sleep tonight. Sure hope so. 

Long Distance Runaround

Did my first long distance training run of the year. Ran it in 130 minutes. I'm really motivated this year to run my fastest marathon to date. The work starts now.

No Work

First time in nine days.

Mom & Dad

Today is my parent's 53rd Wedding Anneversery. I love you Mom & Dad!!

Sleep In

I'll be working tomorrow afternoon. This means I won't set the alarm clock tonight. 

42 Miles

Ran 42 miles this week. That's exactly what I wanted to do for my marathon training. 

Mid Term

Halfway through my work week. I might get Thursday & Friday off. I'll be back at it tomorrow morning. Goodnight. 

Sleep It Off

Tired but not asleep
Hit the deck
Sleep it off 
Goodnight 

Run Down

OK I'm tired. That short turnaround with my work schedule has wiped me out. I'll rest for the remaining part of the day. 

Big Training

Ran the last 4 days at about 90 minutes per run. That's big training!

Thursday Moves

Overcast this morning. Getting ready to have breakfast and then go for a training run. This is the 4th day in a row I'm doing it. Taking a break from running tomorrow.  I work tonight and tomorrow morning.  Try to find time to get some sleep. 

Time For Bed

Goodnight 

Just Getting Started

It's fair to say that work is everything today. I'll go for a training run, take care of creative endeavors and go to work this afternoon. I'm just getting started. 

Back At Work

After having the last 4 days off for the 4th of July weekend, I'll be working the next 10 days. Back at work again. 

One More Day

I have one more day off today before starting run of ten straight working days. Today my plan is to go for a training run, practice music and draw pictures. That would be a productive day.

Great Weekend

Great weekend with the family. Grace & I are taking the train back home. I have tomorrow off from work. Summertime fun.

The 5th

Had a great 4th of July yesterday. Grace & had a BBQ with my parents and we all ended up mowing the lawn. Went down to Cold Spring for the Community Day celebrations and ran into childhood friends Pete Nobile and Greg Phillips. So good to see them. They were playing a gig. Today my sister will be stopping by. The best way for me to spend this Holiday Weekend.

Back Upstate

Tomorrow Grace & I will go Upstate New York to visit my parents on the 4th of July. We'll be BBQing and lawn mowing. Couldn't think of a better way to spend the day.

3rd Of July

The long holiday weekend is here. After I have breakfast, my plan is to get a training run in. This afternoon, I have a phone conference. A little busy for the 3rd of July.

TGIX

I work tonight and then get the next 4 days off. TGIX for me.

1st Of July

Summer is here and so is the month of July. Cloudy with a threat of rain this morning. I want to go out and run today. I work tonight. Do it all again tomorrow.
