Running:
Other than a small IT band scare, I've been running well and injury-free. I hit my miles last week (46), so that's a start. I guess I'll actually decide if I'm running the Lincoln Marathon once I get back from tour. I have some 50 and 60 mile weeks I'm supposed to do, and, since I've never tried to run while on tour, I'm not sure how feasable that is. If I can get the training in while on tour, I plan on putting in the real work and signing up for the marathon as soon as I get home!
Band:
We leave for tour in just over a week, which means I'm running around like crazy trying to get everything done (get the breaks fixed on the van, reorder t-shirts, order stickers, pack, etc.). We're headed to Florida which is exciting because we've never been there, plus, we'll be down south so I'll get to run in some better weather! :) Maybe I'll be able to hook up with Barrett and he can remind me of the difference between an elite athlete and us mortals.
We're also in the process of signing a publishing contract, which is just as scary as it is exciting. It basically just means that some guy is going to take our songs, remix and remaster them, and try to get them in movies and commercials. That's a great step for us, however looking over and negotiating the contract is kind of scary.
I'm also excited for the new songs we're writing!!! :)
Well, if you know me you know that that's pretty much my life. I'm working quite a bit so I can afford all the tours we're going on. I'm reading a couple books, as usual. I'm hanging out when I can (or, more realistically, when I feel like it). Watching quite a few movies (on the trainer - it is winter in Nebraska). The girl situation is looking pretty bleak right now. Guess that's how it goes when you're looking for something pretty specific. So it goes. I don't want to end on that note, so I guess I'll just say that at this point I'm feeling pretty excited about trying to run a sub-3 hour marathon! :)
