So long February, hello March

Good Afternoon
   I just got back in town from a quick business trip to Midland.  We have wrapped up all the division kick off meetings and everything went smoothly.  I ended up presenting at two of the meetings and it wasn't as horrible as I thought it might be. Besides the insane business at work the last two weekends were quite excellent.

Two weekends ago I had a nice easy Friday night so that I could get up early and run nine miles.  I was incredibly lame, I cooked a nice dinner, read a little, and fell asleep before 9!!  I got up early and met a friend at the park for a run.  It felt great for the first six miles and then I started getting that tightness in my knee and I knew it was game over.  I made it nine miles and called it quits.  I was very disappointing because my training for the half had been going incredibly well with no pain from the knee.  Since my half is this weekend I decided to stop running hoping that it will be better by the time I have to run.  Besides the knee issue I hope I have the endurance to run the 13.1 miles.  I really want to complete that half so be praying that my knee behaves its self on Sunday  (don't worry I am not hurting my knee by running, I just have a tight IT band that prevents full range of motion in my knee causing pain.) I am pretty excited about the run so I hope it goes well.   

After the run I got cleaned up and met up with the Crossfit girls for an afternoon of wine tasting on the Texas Blue Bonnet Wine Trail.  It was a blast, we got to try some unique wines and see a lot of beautiful country side.  That evening a friend came over and we partook in a bottle of wine and went out dancing.  It was a fun Saturday night.

This last weekend was also quite eventful and fun.  Friday evening our Crossfit group had a get together at the gym.  One of the other girls and I went to hang out and see what was going on.  Saturday I ran a bunch of errands and bought boots for rodeo season.  That evening I had a BBQ at the house with the girls and a few other friends, then we went out two stepping.  I met a guy in Dallas that is an incredible dancer and he happened to be a college friend of my roommate.  He came down to visit and we danced the night away.  Sunday was a lazy day of brunch, lounging, sleeping, and getting ready to go to Midland.  Over all quite a few successful weekends.  Hope everyone is enjoying life to the fullest!

Until next time
