Geeeeees. Life has been crazy lately. Good thing I'm still recovering from the marathon and don't have to be training a lot right now. I tried the whole social thing again last weekend and actually had a great time! Thursday night I went to the Texas Exes happy hour with Augie and Shellie and met Leigh and Melissa there. I haven't hung out with Leigh and Melissa in forever, so it was great getting to see them. Friday night we went out for Augie's birthday and again it was fun to go out without having to worry about getting up early to run the next day. Of course at 7:43am I was wide awake. I didn't go to bed until after 2, but nope, can't sleep late. I felt worthless by 7:44am. Augie texted at 8:10 to say she was wide awake too and we were at the park by 8:30. We weren't exactly heroic though - we did a whopping 3 mile walk, but it was probably just what we needed (she did Longhorn 70.3 the weekend we did St. George).
Saturday night I went to see Jackopierce and it was awesome. I saw some old friends there and it was great catching up, and Jackopierce was just as good as they were 5 years ago when I last saw them. Listening to them brings me back to high school and college and just brought back memories of wonderful times. It made me so happy!
Sunday afternoon I went to meet my friend Jill's new baby. She and her husband have been trying to adopt out of Kazakhstan for several months now and still had several more months until they might get a baby. They had recently decided to pursue domestic adoption, but had not finished the paperwork to sign with an agency. Through a series of unbelievable events, they found out Friday, October 3 that there was a baby and they had her home that Monday. If anyone ever questions if God is here, helping people out, look no further than Sarah. It was a total chance that the birth mother was even made aware of Jill and Bob, then even further crazy that they were able to do a private adoption without a hitch on such incredibly short notice. Sarah is completely healthy which is even more of a miracle considering the condition her mother was in. She truly is an angel sent from God, and miracles do happen. To add to Jill and Bob's good fortune, she is a very good baby. She slept almost the entire time I was there and I never heard a peep out of her! I've gotten lots of baby time the past few weeks and it has been awesome! I need to visit Lisa and her babies again soon, I'm sure they have grown since I saw them last.
Monday night was HRTC's annual Beerathlon. Needless to say, I did not participate (I suck at drinking beer and suck at running fast...but am great at cheering people on and ringing a cowbell). Somehow I ended up staying at the park until after 9 so I didn't get home until late. Tonight I worked late again so I feel like I'm on the verge of losing my mind. I ran 2 whole miles at the park Monday night and 2 at the track last night. Neither of those runs were exactly great - oh well, I am still early in my recovery. I am taking my run clothes to work tomorrow hopeful that I will make it out in time for a run, but I'm not sure if that will happen or not.
Sorry I'm so boring and have nothing better to report about...soon enough I will.

I had to hang out at home and help the kid with homework.
Glad to hear you are recovering well.
