This is the second year that we are celebrating Halloween at this cabin in Sleepy Hallow. What can I say, it continues to be a great getaway. Huge cabin sleeps about 10. Lake out back which is great for Kayaking, Kayaks are available also.
I decided to be Facebook this year, with the help of Anh, who designed the costume it turned out great.
All in all a great weekend.
Exactly one more month until Anh P. and myself participate in our first marathon. Excitement is brewing. This has been almost a year in the making. It all began when I gave Anh New York Road Runners membership for Christmas. After we both became members of NYRR we decided to make the goal of the New York City Marathon a reality, our first run for the season was “Al Gordon Snowflake” in Prospect Park, Brooklyn, at the time Al Gordon who was 107 at the time participated in the race, sadly he passed in the summer.
Unfortunately we were not able to run the NYC marathon in 2009 because of failure to win spots in the lottery. In order to run the NYC marathon one can be entered in a variety of ways: NYC Marathon lottery entry, 9 races + 1 volunteer as an NYRR member or raise $2500 for your favorite charity. We did not win the 2009 lottery, but we have fulfilled our 9+1 requirement as NYRR members and will be running the NYC marathon in November 2010.
The Philadelphia marathon is famous for being a fun, flat and a fast course so we decided to sign up for the race. We began training for it back in August and have really progressed tremendously. Lately Sundays have been our long run days, so far our longest run has been 19.4 miles. In the next 2 weeks we’ll be faced with out longest run ever which will be 22 miles, looking forward to it 
More marathon training updates to come, stay tuned.
This off-season I plan to work more on my biking, drills, workouts, etc. and with winter approaching decided to buy a bike trainer. There are 3 types of trainers: wind, magnetic and fluid. In a fluid trainer you get the most realistic riding experience. The Kinetic fluid trainer is one if not the best on the market. The road trainer provides you with various resistance as you change gears on your bike. The trainer also comes with a lifetime warranty. Stores away very easily, especially for riders with small apartments, limited space = New York.
Features:
It’s the perfect workout partner for sprints to intervals to all-day cruising. Quiet. Smooth. And like every Kinetic Trainer, 100% leak-proof. The power calibration gives you true outdoor cycling simulation. The automatic resistance adjusts as you change speeds. Realism as only Kinetic can deliver it.
Specs:
| ADJUSTMENTS: | None (5-3,000+ watts of speed-sensitive resistance) |
| FOLDING: | Yes |
| SKEWER INCLUDED: | No |
| TYPE: | Fluid |
| WHEEL SIZES: | 22-29″ and 700c Wheels |
Anh captured and produced this video of me on our most recent visit to Miami, she took various footage all over Miami and North Florida, including Ft. Lauderdale, Palm Beach, Gulf Stream Beach, etc. Enjoy!
Client is happy!! All is done. TV has been successfully installed on the wall mount and all components have been connecteed accordingly.
The plywood has been fastened and the cut out sheetrock will be replaced and the wall plastered.
In this particular TV installation, the studs were 18″ apart which makes them too far as per the mount installation guidelines (ideally the studs should be at most 12″ apart). The wall needed to be reinforced with 3/4″ plywood.
