catch up - and does anybody remember BOB MOULD?

missed yesterday so doing a little bit of catch up...sort of a busy running day but all good. Started with 5 miles in the morning - sort of a short tempo with five minute warm-ups and cool downs; good pace. As it was such a beautiful day yesterday, enjoyed a great short run with our Yonkers High School students. I know I keep saying it but I am just amazed by the dedication and enthusiasm of these runners - they all run at a wide range of paces but you can clearly see that each one of them gives it all. Really cool to see

One more thing on the running and fitness piece of things - very psyched to start working with a trainer over at New York Sports Club. I have to say that while my performance down in Miami was - I think humbling would be the right word - it was definitely a learning and growing experience. It definitely put it out there to me that I need more (well, I need to start with some!) non-running training....to be a better runner. So I'm looking forward to developing a routine that involves some strength, core and other pieces to round it out.

Another positive note was that we had a great little get-together for some of our Teens Run Yonkers Board members last night. Always amazes me and love to see how you can introduce three people from seemingly very separate places and/or parts of your life and your find commonalities. It was great to see and know that we have an excellent team to help lead the way on our program.

Speaking of which, we went to a place called City Winery and I didn't even realize till we went there that one of my favorite guitarists/singer/songwriters was playing there that night. I will age myself here but if anyone remembers the band Husker Du - speed metal punk ala the mid 80's from minnesota? Ringing bells? Well, their lead guitarist and singer Bob Mould has been a favorite since I was introduced to the band Sugar - his offshoot band - in the early 90's. Anyway, I get down there and found he was playing there - seems like a very positive coincidence

And continuing that train of thought to our final Seinfeld wrap-up, in the "Hot and Heavy" episode, Elaine is dating an ace saxaphone player who ends up writing the song "Hot and Heavy". How did that come about? Describe the chance encounter that led to it...And what was the very final result of all this?
