I Can't Wait For the Next Season to Start

1st the training update

Training is still going strong...finished week #4 and week #5 has the longest run in my training to date: 13 miles. I've run the distance before but never in this heat and humidity.

Now to the video...so after everyone thought curb your enthusiasm was gone for good it looks like it will be back in september...this is just a scene that had me peeing my pants

thanks for the support to everyone!

This is a completely unrelated post to the marathon or fund raising

but i was watching this episode of Dora with Leo today and it went all "gangsta" on me - see for yourself

This actually has gone global

I have a confession to make: I'm a data geek

With what little experience I have with blogging, I did manage to put in some code that allows me to use Google's Analytics package to slice and dice the visitor statistics for my blog.

One little tool i found demonstrates where in the world the visits are coming from. Its quite interesting. as you can see from the map - all the regions shaded in green are where visitors are sourced from. In the past week I have added England and Israel (thanks to the family) and also Santiago, Chile. Not sure who that could be...anybody have a guess? leave a comment and maybe we can figure it out

All in all its been a good week for both training and fundraising. we have raised almost $2,000 so far and the checks keep pouring in.

As far as training goes, finished week #3 easily. The long run was saturday at 10 miles. I checked my logs and it was actually the longest i have run in over 2 months, since i ran the Long Island Half Marathon but i still felt good all in all.

Thanks again - and keep passing this blog address along!

Slightly Off Topic Post

This past weekend was Leo's 3rd Birthday Party.

His Uncle Ari & Aunt Lauren came and spent the weekend with us...Lot's of fun playing in the pool and with our WII. With all the activity i still managed to get in my miles this weekend.

So now begins week #3 of training. Hate to say its been easy so far but it has. I haven'd had to push myself farther than I have in the past. I guess we will see how it goes when my weekly mileage really starts building up.

I have one long run this weekend (10 miles) surrounded by some shorter runs (3 and 4 miles). All in all its a 20 mile week, still not too crazy.

The pledges keep rolling in and I'm amazed by everyones generosity.

THANKS!

Hot and Humid

So the 1st week of training is pretty much over. Nothing too hard really as this is a gradual build up of weekly miles.

My long run was this morning. It was 8 miles and i handicapped myself by having a few drinks the night before (Highly recommend Patron Silver!).

I mixed up my schedule a little bit due to the holiday week. Instead of doing what was on the plan, i ran the Long Beach Boardwalk which was interesting. The boardwalk has a little more "give" but the planks are not all level which worked my calves/shins pretty hard. Since this run was a shade under 5-miles I will shorten my last 3-miles run so that i hit my weekly mileage and not overtrain.

The donations have been coming in slowly but a lot of people have "pledged" so once those checks roll in we can expect to see the donation total climb!

Keep passing this along and thanks for everyones support!

NYC Marathon Training Begins...

It actually begins tomorrow, but this is the 1st week of training for me.

Looks to be a slow light week, with my long run coming in at 8 miles but i'm excited to get underway!

The donations are staring to stream in, and at the suggestion of some of you i have opened a paypal account if you would like to donate that way. Contact me for details as to how to do that if you need.

Going to keep this short and sweet.

Thanks to everyone so far!
