Gearing up

Things are gearing up and I am getting ready for the next few weeks of races. This upcoming Saturday I will be racing the Boston High Performance 1500 meters up @ Bentley College. Should be a good race and it will get me some more preparation for my race out in Cali in 3 weeks. I have been rolling along in workouts and runs. Right now I am working to make up some hours I missed and working to prepare for hours I PLAN on missing in the next couple of weeks.

I have begun my slow transition of moving into my new apartment with my new roommates. The past few nights we have eaten together and had a great time. I am really looking forward to the living situation. There will be great training, eating and conversations. It is a basic eating situation where we eat, meat, vegtables and Ugali (Kenyan cornmeal).
