Whew~ It's been a busy couple of weeks! Half Marathon, NYC, etc.

My view from my hotel in NYC at the Ritz.

Hello all - It's been a crazy couple of weeks. Let me try and recap what's been happening.

Well, I've been real busy at work for one. I work all day, come home eat dinner, and then usually log back in for a couple more hours of work, then bed. Then get up and do it all over again!

I guess I'm not complaining though. It's nice to have a job the way the economy is going.

Did I tell you that Ron went back to work a couple weeks ago? Wachovia called him back for a 3-month contract. It may last a little longer, but we're not counting on it. That'll get us through Christmas and the new year. This time of year is kinda tough to find a job since it's year end, so we're hoping things will open up the beginning of next year.

I did complete another half marathon since I last blogged. It was in Charlotte, nothing exciting. I've gotten so slow since I have been focusing on TRIs, and not running like I use too. I seem to only get in 2 days a week of running and it has really hurt me on my time and the way I feel when I run. (Slug) I've got to get back to 3days a week! I say that, but this race was a couple of weeks ago, and I haven't run ANY until day. I've been so busy with work. And when I'm not working I just want to sleep! But I have been lifting weights and cycling some, but not much.

I'm going to try and get back on track. I've got about 3+ weeks of vacation left this year, but I was told that I may not get to take it, since we're so busy at work!! Bummer! But I think I'll be able to carry some of it over to next year.

I went to NYC on business last week. That was nice, but tiring. I meet an old friend who I've known for about 30 years. He lives in the city, so it was nice to know someone who could show me the city. It was good catching up with him and see what he's been up too.

We were in Times Square on election night. Now, that was a hoot! I love NYC!

Ron and I was able to ride with our cycling club on Sunday. It was a little chilly, but not too bad. That's going to end pretty soon with the cold weather. Back to spin classes, I guess. We had a year end party last Sunday night. That was fun seeing everyone without their cycling clothes and helmet. I barely recognized some of them!

I've also did a little shopping. I needed some work clothes so I bought a few things, and 3 pairs of shoes!

We also had another birthday over the weekend, so we spent some time at my brother's home to celebrate my sister-in-law's birthday. Happy Birthday Teresa!
