This morning I had an audition for a Doritos commercial at Hungry Man. What's with the chip commercials this week, huh?
Then, I went over to Grant Wilfley Casting for a go-see for the upcoming Robert De Niro/Matt Damon film, The Good Shepherd. Apparently, I am to meet with the direct (De Niro) on Monday.

I learned that the work on the The Good Shepherd is featured background work. I have declined to work on the film as featured background.

This afternoon I did a reading of Mark Hunter & Tina Posterli's new play, Comin' Up A Cloud. I read the part of Esby. A great script!

Well, I finally did the necessary coding and revision to get my marathon training blog active. You can access it directly by way of this link:

I added a couple pictures to the blog--they're of me in 2003's race at Mile 25 in Central Park and at the finish line.
Training so far is going rather well. I've been running 6.3-8-mile runs regularly, and even did 12.5 on Saturday. I'm somewhat following the "competitive marathoner" training schedule that the ING NYC Marathon puts out; at this time, I should be running about 40 miles a week! I've never trained that hard for my prior marathons. Can I pull it off? Stay tuned to my training blog!
