First 4 miles after the Marathon…

I did a quick (well, not so quick, but that was the point) 4 miles today over at Betzwood with my father-in-law. Things felt good, nothing seemed tight, and best of all, it felt very liberating to be back to running for no reason. My FIL, on the other hand, seems to think [...]

• I recently came across a recording that was captured of myself and my college friend Colleen Gilmore playing the Brahms Liebeslieder Waltzes, Op. 52 "b" arranged for 2 pianos.
