Just picked it(Black 2008 Lexus IS 250) up this afternoon, its really nice and surprisingly convenient. Today while thinking about what to eat for dinner I had the realization that a car is a really efficient way of getting places(this is pretty much the opposite of insightful but I guess I had never really noticed this since I'd never really driven much). I've recently been thinking a lot about how little time it takes to run to various places and how much faster that is than walking but I guess I probably won't be doing too much of either now.

This last week I played 2 MTT sessions, both which went reasonably well, I played Friday afternoon and all of Sunday, both days went well early -> terrible -> binked my last tourney against all odds to save the day. Friday I took 3rd in the 216 turbo and Sunday I took 5th in the Mulligan. A bunch of people on the rail requested I start videotaping the mulligan with like 30 left which I did, but at one of the breaks I forgot to hit resume so I lost like 1/2 the footage. I guess I'll just try to play some more sessions and hope to run good enough to have one worth recording.

Last week d I ran about 60k including a 28k run on Saturday. This week I plan on running closer to 70k as my highest volume running week before the marathon including a 32-35k run on Thursday or Friday. The marathon is getting pretty close and I've been fortunate enough to still retain pretty good health. Both people I've been running with have been having some knee problems, one enough that its been affecting his running and another just some discomfort. Hopefully all works out and we can all finish the race.

Alright, thats it for now, think I'm going to look into flights for the fall and register for the race.
