Philadelphia

Grace & I have been in Philadelphia for the past couple of days. Tomorrow I run the marathon. The weather has been great. Quite warm for this time of year. That will all change by the start of the race. It's going to be cold & windy. A real shock to the system. I feel ready and hoping to run my fastest marathon to date. The over/under is 3:53:42. That's my time from 2010 when I ran the New York City Marathon. This personal record has held up for 6 years. It would be nice to set a new record. I'll let you know tomorrow.

A Short Turnaround

I work tonight and then tomorrow morning. A short turnaround.

To NYC

Grace & I will be going to New York City today. It's chilly out there so we'll have to bundle up.

Sports Couch Potato

 In all fairness to myself, I did run 4 miles this morning and took a long walk this afternoon on the same route. That said, I did watch plenty of sports on TV today. Haven't had the chance to do that much with my work schedule. Nice to had a Sunday to relax.

Work Day Off

Yesterday I had the day off from work but there were a few important things I needed to do. Now I'm at work today. 

Taper Down

It's time for me to taper down marathon training. Philadelphia is 3 weeks away and now I need to save up my energy. The long runs are done and I feel ready. Time to tone up too.

Long Training Run

Tomorrow I plan to do my last long distance training run. The Philadelphia Marathon is 3 weeks away and I'll be tapering down. Now it's time to see this through.

Hotel Tycoons

I bought a board game called Hotel Tycoons. I play it as work exercise. The strategy helps me with my day job. Multi task for the mind. That's how I work & play. 

It Gets Quiet

It gets quiet when you're not out there making noise. That can be good.

Open Mic Live

Tuesday Night I played 3 songs at Maxwell's I Hoboken, New Jersey:

On A Death Tour

It went over really well! One of the best Open Mic gatherings I've ever been to. It was the debut oft Rickenbacker and it was the star of the set. It was good to get a gig in before the end of the year. 

Open Mic

Tomorrow I might go to an Open Mic that's nearby me. I haven't played live in over a year and a half.
