Concert! Yay!

They Might be Giants is coming to town! I was introducted to TMBG by my friend Josh in high school, and I have loved them ever since. My favorite album is Apollo 18. They are geek rock, with a generous helping of humor and fun. Last time I saw them the entire audience joined in a giant conga line and marched around the venue. The only other event that I've been to with the same kind of energy and connectedness was a rave.

Marathon Training

Well day 2 of my second week of marathon training. I ran ~3.5 miles this morning. This was a little shorter run, but it seemed harder today. I'm taking a day off tomorrow, and I'm not sure how I'll fit in my runs this weekend with my seminar in Dallas. I'm getting together with Gwen, Anuj and Victoria on Friday to depart for Dallas, and I'll be coming back Sunday night. We're all meeting up at the Landmark center here, and leaving from there.

Marathon Training - Week 2

I neglected to post anything about this, but my girlfriend Kelsie and I have agreed to run the Park City, Utah marathon on August 23, 2008. This is now week 2 of my training. Monday I slacked off and didn't run, so yesterday I went for an easy 6 mile run. This leaves me with some easy 4 mile runs to finish off the week. The training plan that I'm (roughly) following is here.
