New (Moon) Songs, 10Ks and Other News

Greetings, all!

We hope everyone is well and enjoying this lovely Spring-like weather (which is sure not to last if we know anything about Spring in Indiana).

Lots to report on this week...

First, Aaron completed his new song, "Bleed," this week. The song is utterly amazing, really some of his best work ever. The song was inspired by New Moon, which is the second novel in Stephenie Meyer's Twilight saga. Our goal and hope is that through a few removed connections I have to Stephenie Meyer (most notably my best friend, Shelley), the song has a chance to land on the soundtrack for the New Moon movie, which is due out just before Christmas this year. Please keep your fingers crossed.

Additionally, the song will soon be featured on the TwilightLexicon.com site, which is the largest fan site in the world - promotion on this site alone will expose tens of thousands to Aaron's music, so needless to say, we are thrilled.

You can listen to the song on Aaron's MySpace page - http://www.aarongalbreath.com will link you there.

Aaron extends a very special thank you to Jake Niemi for all of his support and hard work in producing the new song.

Speaking of web sites... Aaron's new web site should be up and running and at least partially functional this week. We'll keep you posted.

And finally, I ran in my first competitive 10K race this weekend as part of the Indy 500 Festival Mini-marathon training series. It was fabulous! I completed the race with a time of 1:07:13, putting me on a 10:52 mile pace, which is exactly where I want to be for the mini. I was psyched! I have a serious pace issue, and given that I am one of the most competitive people on earth (shocking, I know) I tend to start way too fast and try to keep up with people I have no business trying to keep up with. So, staying on pace this race was a big accomplishment for me. I also saved up enough juice to sprint across the finish line, which was mildly hilarious to both Sarah and me. Needless to say, when I set out to run my scheduled 8 miles yesterday (the day after), my 33 year old body did not so much cooperate as protest, but I digress...

All in all, I am on schedule and looking forward to the 15K in April. Well, looking forward might be overstating it a bit.

Love and hugs to all. XOXO
