Hello to you.
I did not run today. It is time for the hip to get better once and for all. I am sick of having it hurt. I am sick. I vomit there on the carpet. Get down on your hands and knees and you will see it.
I drank a lot of coffee today. Probably around 6 cups. It made me really drowsy. Strange.
I have practiced 2.5 hours already today, planning on another hour in about 5 minutes. That's the way to do it. You gotta get after it.
That's the thing I never could understand about music majors at Wesleyan (or any major, come to think of it). It seems that hardly anyone is excited to do what they do. I mean, the music majors should have been practicing at least 2 hours a day. How many people did that? Maybe 1 or 2.
That's what seems to be wrong with it. People don't take things seriously enough. When you commit yourself to something, it should be entirely. For me, it is not only music that I am committed to. Running, yes, I am committed to running. Probably not as much as Ben, it seems, but yes I am committed to it.
Ben, you crazy mofo, I like the enthusiasm you have. And the dedication. You have put a lot of effort into running, and are reaping the benefits, both physical and psychological. And with school, you are studying like a mad man, making sure to get everything done. That's the kind of work ethic that most people lack. What the hell? And Anton, you are doing a lot of stuff, like signing and running and PT and you are already planning out what you are going to do for the next 20 years. Where are other peoples' goals? Why do they simply fall over and die and just let life feckin steamroll them?
That's all I will say for now. Dedication. Execution. Don't say you're going to do something, then sit around on your ass. Get down to business and be productive!
I have a schedule. I think if I schedule some races then I will have a better reason for running. I think I will run the Psycho Wyco again. That was a fun time. And I think I might do the Brew to Brew Solo 44 miler. That would be good too.
You see what I just did? I made a plan. Now I have something to work towards.

Dear Charles,
I decided to record myself reading your blog after have laughed like crazy reading your previous blog.
I was hoping you would be able to see how much I enjoy reading your blogs; however, this blog was a little more serious, and there was little to none laughing. I hope that in the future you will be able to appreciate how much I appreciate reading both your and Anton's blogs.
Thanks for the compliments. Although, I wouldn't be determined on have any running goals without you two. My success is your success.
Just don't forget that you are a PT hero. Krupicka/Karnazes are to ultra running as Charles is to:
a) rockin' the clarinet
b) being a stellar dude
c) a PT magnifico impressivianato
answer: all of the above.
here is the link.

The link wouldn't work for me...it is a private video...plus I forgot my log in...or I don't have one...could you put it on facebook?
Way to plan man! This constant collaboration between us three is quite extraordinary and inspiring. We all have so much going for us, and are not afraid to work hard at achieving anything. And if in the event that someone falters, the others are always there to lift them back up, reinstall courage and strength, and off we go running again.
Awesome practice schedule. You'll be a professional performer someday soon.
Ben does indeed work his ass off, and I've been most impressed with his improvement and blooming into a beautiful runner and fitness machine. I remember the first summer when he saw us doing stuff, but was hesitant to work out too, fearing the comparison. With open arms and constructive guidance, Ben has grown more than either of us.
Don't get me wrong, I'm superbly impressed with your progression as well, dominating workouts and runs, but I've seen you do stuff before.
You both rock.
