Looking Forward to the Weekend!

After a crazy long week thus far, I am definitely looking forward to this weekend! Monday, the power went out in the whole city, leaving my boss and I scrambling to get all the servers shut down gracefully before the power supplies ran out of juice. It was a mess of a day, however we were apparently both recognized yesterday at the monthly meeting (which we weren't at), and awarded $10 in city chamber bucks!

Yesterday, I spent 11 hours working in Shakopee and 4 additional hours driving, putting my total "work" hour at 15 for the day. I don't have much to say about yesterday, except that I'm disappointed we got home quite so late (9pm) because if it had been even just a half hour earlier, I would've been able to make it to the gym. Oh well - I guess I'll just have to spread my additional 2 days between Today, Friday and Saturday this week.

Workouts the past 2 weeks have been alright, albeit slightly disappointing after previous weeks. According to my makeshift workout schedule to prep me for September 12th's 8 mile race, I should have done my first 4-mile run last Saturday. I actually didn't run at all last Saturday, so that's pretty disappointing. I still have 2 more weeks at 4 miles before bumping it up to 4.5, so hopefully the weather gets nicer (it's much easier to run outside), and I can find some decent running shoes in Sioux Falls on Saturday. Should help a bit with my goals.

For now, just trying to keep up the hard work, even on the days when I certainly don't feel like it.
