New shows – travel planned

I’ve been preoccupied spinning my wheels with things that I’m not going to post about just yet (music video is so close to being finished), however, I have been busy booking shows and travel plans for the summer. I have my Los Angeles CD release party/show next weekend at the Culver Hotel in Culver City. They are being very generous and allowing me to have my show there and not charge admission. So cool.

I’ll be in Baton Rouge during the first week of May doing some press interviews and a small CD release show. I’m currently planning on being in Denver at the end of May, then back in Louisiana at the end of June, and back in Denver at the end of July/beginning of August. If I can manage it financially, I’d like to continue the constant traveling and performing between these three cities. We’ll see how it goes.

I’m not training for anything right now, which is a new feeling. I have been hitting weights more frequently and have noticed a very quick and noticeable change in my body. I haven’t been running the long distances that I had been doing over the winter, but when I go out for runs, I’m feeling very strong and comfortable. I have a 7 mile loop that I like to do as somewhat of a time trial to see where I stand. I try and run it at a comfortable pace, one that I could hold for a marathon, and I’ve actually dropped about 2 minutes off of it in the last 4 weeks. Anyway, I hate to say it, but when I don’t plan my schedule around my training, my music (business wise) progresses much smoother. I’m not saying I’ll stop training, but maybe I’ll limit it to 1-2 ultras, 2 winter marathons, and some 10k races in the summer.
