Where do I go?

Greetings readers! Apologies for the lack of updates this week, I've been somewhat busy. I will, however take some brief time to offer a few random things I've been thinking about this week.

Got back into the running again - taking it easy for the time being. Getting up around 6am and going out and doing between 2 and 3 miles before work. I'm not going to push my self, and I'm going to get back into the rigorous training in mid-July. I'm also going to start core/weight training next week at the gym, now that I know they offer it. I know, I've been saying that for a while, but I really am going to this time.

DMB at Fenway last Friday night and it was glorious. Our seats were in the 4th row, about 10 yards from the stage. Went with Miss Alison Hay, Katie and Greg, and had a great time. He played a lot of stuff from their new album, and the encore of "All Along the Watchtower" was amazing. Their new sax player, Jeff Coffin (previously of Bela Flek and the Flektones), was unbelieveable - he had a solo riff in one of the tunes where he was playing TWO saxes - AT ONCE!! AMAZING! And the new album is pretty sick too.

Saw Sugar on Sunday at the Somerville Theater (my new favorite place to see movies). It was ok. I was actually a little disappointed. Basically, a Dominican baseball phenom gets drafted to a minor league team in the mid-west. Trials, tribulations and cultural barriers ensue. There were some really great moments, but was honestly expecting more from directors/writers Ryan Fleck and Anna Bowden, especially after their sensational debut with Half Nelson a couple years ago. The ending was pretty unsatisfying, if any of you out there have seen it, e-mail me, I'd love to have a discussion about it. Good things? Algenis Perez Soto made a wonderful debut performance as the titular character, and the cinematography was incredible - sometimes there is nothing like sunsets over the plains - not that I know first hand, but I imagine they're beautiful.

The PKP Foundation weekend starts tomorrow, and it's in Boston! Hooray! Have a meeting on Saturday with some of the folks from nationals about getting the Alumni association going again - I don't really want to see it die, there's been too much work put into it to have it fall by the wayside.

I got a 13.1 sticker this week! I found when I went to marathon sports on Tuesday.

That about wraps it up for today - I guess there really wasn't as much going on as I thought, ha...

Welcome to the big city Katie!
