Let's take a ride to the easy plateau, where the cold don't come and the wind don't blow

Went out for lunch with J. and D.. P. is having a dinner party this weekend at some greek place, I'm going to be bringing K. and the baby. This would be the baby's first dinner party. Only 3 hours to go at work, I've been working hard, I even manage to get in a few hours of overtime a week with all the craziness at home. It's a good craziness, don't get me wrong. The baby is very high maintenance, but is also very cute and entertaining. Spent election eve watching the results come in on CNN while playing guitar for my wife and babby. I am playing again - a lot - I discovered the secret to not getting any shit from the wife for spending all my time playing guitar: play fingerstyle acoustic.

how is babby formed?

Hello Blog, I have a baby now

Sorry I haven't written in a while. We had a beautiful baby girl last month but she is so HIGH MAINTENANCE! We're not getting much sleep, I'm still training for my next race, I took a lot of time off of work and I'm trying to get caught up these days, I haven't been playing much guitar lately either. I'll write later. Peace out!

5K Training Schedule for Intermediate Runners

Here's the schedule I'm using to train for my next 5k btw. I started training immediately after my last race, my next race is second or third week of October. I'll probaby repeat week 5 a couple of times as I did previously with my hardest training week to kill some time before the race date.

Training's going good - I actually don't dread running anymore, I enjoy it in fact. I like the meditative aspects to it, I like how good I feel afterwards, I like how I'm losing weight, I like all the cool clothes and gear that are associated with my new sport. It's just fun.
