Live from New York...

it's ...well...it's Wednesday night actually. :-) Not much to report from the big city. I'm a nerd. I skipped the work dinner and instead walked up to times square and had dinner solo at the Hard Rock (which used to be the WWF Cafe...total deja vu for me....). Last night was culture night, I had dinner with my team at a Japanese place that only Magellan could find. Food was interesting, but not bad. The saving grace is that I know how to eat with chopsticks (learned on my trip to Hong Kong...apparently they don't import forks there...long story but chopsticks are good for stabbing food....). I'm really just kidding, love the different experiences (I actually took 2 years of Japanese in College..used to be able to write in 3 dialects).

So what does this have to do with the price of eggs in Jamaica...absolutely nothing.

Got a 3 mile run in on the hotel treadmill this evening prior to my trek out. Just hangin' in there till this project settles down a little.

Rae - Love the Team Voice come back..I'll try to do my part by being more active on-line.

Big City Nights...

Any Scorpians fans out there? Nah, didn't think so. :-)

Sitting in my final MBA session right now and just plain exhausted. So glad this is done, but this week, month and July for that matter are going to be like a sprint marathon. In NYC the rest of the week for work followed up by full day meetings (vendor reviews) next week and then July is more of the same. I'm just hoping that I'm not a basket case by the time vacation rolls around...Ya know, any more than I currently am!

Mileage is getting better and I'm still working on the snacking, so should be on the way to recovery if work doesn't throw any more curveballs at me. Have been biking more lately too, took a 15 mile hilly trek yesterday on the..well...Trek.... Need to get a "road bike" at some point, but will wait and save some money. I'm pretty sure that I'm going to compete in the triathalon (sprint distance, I think?) in mid-August so I've got to mix it up a bit. Have tried to do laps in our pool as best as possible, not long laps, but it's swimming.

Great to hear from y'all, thanks for bearing with me and my time off. :-)

207 Days to Check In...

That's what Delta is telling me about my flight to Orlando. Hmmm, so I've got to be ready to run 39.3 miles in that amount of time...YIKES!!! Given the fact that I'm about 3-4 lbs overweight right now and haven't run a long run over 6 miles (did that one yesterday) in two months...got a lotta work to do. With the weight thing, I'm actually 7-8 lbs overweight for the race as I want to be much lighter on the limbs for that, we'll see...

No worries, I kinda figured these months would be tough with school and all, but worked got nuts further complicating the workout schedule. The plan was always to kick in on the mileage in the July timeframe on through November and start to work down in December.

Oh wait....forgot to say...where the heck have I been! LOL The above kinda says it all. School (two more weeks) and work have dominated life....What can ya do. The weight gain has more to do with eating habits than workouts. I know better than to keep up the calories when the workouts are down, but did a pretty horrid job of it. Time to put my behind in the past, as they say....

I know I've got to start catching up on blogs, thanks for bearing with me folks! This is probably the right time of year to get the chatter going though. Is anyone else shocked that the half-marathon is only 60% full? and Goofy is only 50% full? Guess people don't agree with the media that we're on the road to recovery. Ha!

As Mike-Speed would say....Keep Moving Forward!
