Fast Forward

I lost track of time during the summer. Time seemed to fly by between all my weekend trips, happy hours, and lazy days doing absolutely nothing! I did manage to complete a few races:

02-Aug Cologne Gay Games 10k 42:59 (personal best)
05-Aug Cologne Gay Games 5k 20:19
07-Aug Cologne Gay Games Marathon 3:55:16 (splits: 1:53:18 first half; 2:01:57 second half)

15-August Philadelphia Track Pentathlon (5 running events)
3000 meters - 11:39.96 (64.22%)
800 meters - 2:42.31 (62.47%)
200 meters - 33.36 (60.07%)
1500 metes - 5:24.75 (64.26%)
400 meters - 73.44 (60.61%)

05-September Labor Pain 12 Hour Endurance Trail Run: 40 miles / twisted right ankle
19-September Rock N Roll Philadelphia Half Marathon: 02:36:46 (paced with cousin)

As the fall has arrived, I'm training again with a renewed focus. Philly Marathon, here I come!

Boys of Summer 2008

I made an encore appearance as a "lifeguard" at the Boys of Summer party last night. Guys seemed to behave better this year, but maybe that's because I left before midnight.

Boys of Summer 2007

This party was the boiling point of a very hot summer!

Philadelphia Gay and Lesbian Film Festival Trailer 2007

Attending the gay film festival is one of my favorite things to do in Philadelphia during the summer. I went to five screenings this year.

Shelter is a garden variety coming out movie. It's a sweet story, but I'm sick of coming out movies.

Four Letter Word is a well made urban gay romantic comedy.

Itsy Bitsy Titty Committee - I slept through most of this movie about angry young lesbians.

Hairspray is the most entertaining movie I've seen this year. I was tapping my toes and cheering at the end.

To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julia Newar --- This is one of my favorite campy gay films of the 90's. I came to the free outdoors screening too late so I only caught the last 10 minutes.

Gay Bed and Breakfast of Horror is one the worst movies ever. It's neither funny or scary. It's campy which is good in a skid but this feature film is 90 minutes too long.
