Heading to NYC
Wednesday morning I am heading to New York to attend Montel Williams MS charity event with some folks from UBT. Joe actually gets to come with me! Yay! It has been a long time since Joe has been able to travel but now that his Prince Charles pieces are done with Craig Ferguson he is going to be able to do more. I believe that the last week in March we are both going to Costa Rica and then the first week in April both of us are taking all the kids to Boston for spring break. That is going to be so so much fun since both Joe and I grew up in the area and we really want to show the kids where we are from. We are going to do the Freedom trail and Strurbridge Village and Salem and museums and the aquarium and of course The North End. We can’t wait! That will be the first week of April.
In the meantime after just two days in New York I am heading to Canada to do some poker seminars there with the folks from Ultimatebet.com. It is a quick trip and I will be getting back here by Monday for a week of really hard training. Being sick over the last week has really reduced the number of miles I could train (only 44 miles this week which sounds like a lot but isn’t when you are training for a marathon). Then yesterday I pulled a muscle so can’t train till tomorrow. That is combined with the lingering ear infection I have and I am exhausted and feeling crappy still. I keep trying to train through it but that just makes it worse.
Today I couldn’t really just rest up and try to get better since the kids had the day off from school so Joe and I took them to Venice Beach. Joe lived there when he first came out to LA and, believe it or not, I had never been there. I have wanted to see where he lived his first 3 years here and we all had a great time…except I was walking with this pretty bad muscle pull and am still a bit under the weather so now I am pooped!
I have to make dinner tonight for the kids but then I am going to collapse. I have an early early appointment in the am for a new instruction project I am working on for the online world so I need to really try to get 100% healthy tonight with some good rest. I don’t want to head to NYC still feeling poopy.
