I am sitting here in my Normatec MVP in our rental apartment doing therapy for the last push to the NYC marathon.  We have gone to New Mexico for altitude training and I am very excited for the extra fitness I will gain from being here.  Luckily for me my wife packed up the kids and the dog and she came down with me.  It would have been torture spending five weeks away from my family and it simply would not have been possible if they had not come.  It is amazing how much stuff it takes to get us all to one place for a month.  It was quite the site to see us going through the airport with a double stroller, two car seats, and four bags.  I am a little ashamed to say my wife packed all her things and the kids stuff in one bag, I took up the rest!  Now once Alberto gets here it will be just like being back in Portland only at 6000ft.
