Setting Moon

The moon is bright as it begins to set over the hills. The sun will be rising soon. I will go for a run this morning. Busy day of work ahead. Much to do about everything.

The New York Football Giants

I've heard the term "Deja Blue" to describe  the season the Giants had this year and it's so true. It does remind me of their Super Bowl Championship 4 years ago. Last night's game was had me thinking I'd seen this movie before. Yet until the game was over, I didn't know if they would win. There's a parade in Manhattan tomorrow. Sounds like fun to me.
Way To Go Big Blue!
                                                                       

Super Sunday

I was in Central Park, New York City this morning and ran a 4-Mile race in a time of 28:33. I took several seconds off my Mile Per Minute rating. It was also a qualifying race for the NYC Marathon 2013. I felt good out there. I did get the stitch in the side halfway through the race. Just kept a strong pace. My next race is next month. It is Super Bowl Sunday and the New York Football Giants go up against the New England Patriots.
Go Big Blue!
                                                           

Run Up To The Race

Tomorrow is my 4-Mile race and I'll head out this morning and and go for an easy jog. I feel like I'm in good shape for a run of this distance. It's all about going as fast as I can. 4 miles is like a sprint compared to many of the distances I usually run. This race is a New York City qualifier and it will give me a chance to decrease my Minutes Per Mile average for club racing. It will be in Central Park and I don't have to worry about snow. The last time I was there it was a wintry mess and the race was called. That will not be the case tomorrow.

Friday Night

I usually blog earlier in the day. It is getting near sunset yet there is still a fair amount of daylight. It looks dry for the weekend so I don't have to worry about snow interfering with my 4-Mile race on Sunday. I'm going for an easy 3-Mile training run tomorrow. I'm now going to fix me some dinner.

Live Band

I ended up going to Open Mic at Whistling Willie's last night and didn't play solo. My friend Todd Giudice was house drummer for the night and guitarist Mark Westin also joined in. We played 3 classic rock tunes. The first was NIGHTS IN WHITE SATIN. I planned on playing this song and with the other musicians, I felt like I had the orchestra with me. Then we played SHATTERED. The last song was THE BALLAD OF JOHN AND YOKO. At the end of the performance I said to the crowd, "Sounds just like we practiced it." Even though we had never played those songs together before, it sounded tight and fun.

Leap Year

There are 29 days in February this year. I remember going out with a woman who told me she was born on February 29th. The Chinese New Year was last week and it is the year of the dragon. I have a 4-Mile race this Sunday so it's time to check out the 5 day forecast. So far it looks to be dry. That can always change. The weather people say the seasonably warm temperatures will drop by the weekend. That means if there is precipitation, there's a good chance it would turn to snow. We'll see what happens. I will be running this morning.
