Bar Mitzvah weekend and beyond

My only nephew had his bar mitzvah this weekend. This included a family dinner at my place on Friday, a nearly three hour service he mostly led on Saturday morning, an afternoon party at a great space near Wrigley field, and a Sunday brunch in the neighborhood where his family lives. How to avoid ingesting 8 thousand calories a day? There really isn't any but was able to get in a 7 miler on Friday and a 6 miler on Sunday which helps.

Looking forward to a couple of brisk runs in Chicago plus an early morning cherry blossom run in DC before speaking at the spring meeting. I normally stay around Kalorama and run in either Rock Creek Park out past the zoo and back through Georgetown or down to Arlington Cemetery and back. But this time I will start from the JW Marriott, circle the tidal basin and then probably the mall and maybe over the bridge to Virginia and back.

Just trying to keep the mileage above 20 a week and then get serious come mid-April.

  1. I know of a guy looking to unload a bib for the Cherry Blolssom 10-mile this Sunday, if you can stay in town through Sunday morning . . .

  2. Sounds great but heading home on Thursday evening. Sorry we keep just missing in both Utah and DC.
