Week Fifteen Training Updatep

This is my next to the last training update and I am writing it from an outdoor cafe in Cologne while having dinner before going to see I Love You Phillip Morris.

I have no idea how well I'll do in the marathon although I feel like I've trained well. This morning I completed my final long run before the marathon which will take place this coming Saturday.

The city is full of celebrations and music - we have seen some wonderful preformances.



We have ran into some great people from all over the world.

Summary of miles for week 15 -

Sunday - 12.09 long run
Monday - rest
Tuesday - 6.12 easy
Wednesday - 7.0 speed
Thursday - 6.13 easy
Friday - rest
Saturday - 7.0 easy

One more week of easy running and then I'm done!

Later -

I Love You Phillip Morris

Last night we went to see the movie - I Love You Phillip Morris. I've blogged about it before and I've been waiting for it to be released in the States but it's been hung up in limbo legal land so we were lucky enough to see it while in Cologne!




Standing room only since all us Americans have been waiting for the release of the film. Hard to believe it's based on a true storey but it makes it an even better movie. Check it out if it ever gets released in the US. Still loving Ewan McGregor!

More Pictures from Dusseldorf

I had wanted to post a few more pictures in my earlier post but the application kept crashing.

The picture below is the Seattle men's soccer team - nice eye candy on the team night have to start going to some of their games!



Here Kent is pictured with some of the members of Team Seattle.



I went for my final long run of eight miles this morning in and around Dusseldorf. What a great place to run and take pictures! I almost wish I has longer runs left to do just to explore more territory!

Gay Games Opening Ceremonies

We had a blast at the opening ceremonies of the Gay Games. There were gays from all over the world which gave the event great international eye candy flavor! The Loved the boys from South America!


There were several hundred people from Seattle which was a lot of fun hanging out with in a city so far away from home. My favorites were the lesbian soccer players!



Went for my final long run this morning of eight miles. I ran all through the town of Duessfuldorf. It's a great city for running with so much to explore and great running paths.
