PAGE CXVI Jubilee Giveaway [FREE MUSIC!]

March 1, 2013 — Leave a comment

I had the awesome privilege of meeting Tifah, Reid, and Dann back in 2010 when I organized a PAGE CXVI concert at our church.  They are extremely talented lyricists and musicians and, well, just all around great people!

To celebrate 7 years of making music together, the members of Page CXVI and The Autumn Film (that would be Tifah, Reid, and Dann) are giving away their entire music catalog for 7 weeks.  Between re-arranging the classic hymns (as PAGE CXVI), to creating beautiful emotive indie pop music (as The Autumn Film), the band has recorded 11 albums together.  Please join them in celebrating this jubilee by catching up on the records you’ve missed or download the entire catalog.

Head on over to pagecxvi.com/jubilee to get your free music!

The high point of the training month was gritting out a new half marathon PR (1:44:45) at the KP San Francisco Half Marathon by 2:36 – BOOYAH!

As far as new equipment, none this month – though I did try the lemon flavor of GU Chomps and like them.

With Big Sur less than two months away, I’ve started some focused training (including a Hurricane Point sim) and have made some pacing goal refinements (using a great BSIM-specific spreadsheet from mymarathonpace.com.)

Anyway, here are the stats for the month that was February 2013:
