August

The good news is that I have had a fantastic August.....but the bad news is I have neglected my blog! So...here is the catch up for the month.

A group of my friends like to throw theme parties, and this month one of them turned 29 deserving an occasion to remember. The theme was 80's rock bands (the outfits did not disappoint!) There was Axl, KISS, Slash, and the best dressed 80's groupies around. Yummy food........Did I mention the nutella? :) Very fun night.


The next weekend I was off to Durango, Colorado! This is the 4th time I have been up in Colorado this year and I love it every time. I went kayaking, hiking, shopping, rode on the train etc. I had not been to Durango since I was a teenager so it was neat to see everything I remembered. The only downside of the trip was the flights. In order to fly in there, a 37 seat airplane is used and I am not fond of them! On the way back, there were mechanical difficulties causing me to stay one more day and miss work! I still was able to get in to my email to work from the hotel.

The other big news is the marathon training. I decided to join a group to help with my motivation. www.1stmarathon.com
I have been consistenly running in preparation for the PF Chang's rock and roll in January. However, I have found that my nights are shorter going to bed no later than 9 to get up for morning runs. It is all worth it in the end, you can get so much done during the day by running early!
