A long week...and 7 miles tomorrow.

Phew...am I glad this week is over.  It certainly seemed longer than the rest of them.

Highs:  GIEP meeting for my daughter, 1st chiropractic adjustment, really good week at work
Lows:  Worked a lot of hours, missed some workouts (cross train), missed some sleep, and got in a fight with Air Tran, Expedia and my credit card company.  Why can no one "find" my refund???

7 miles tomorrow should calm the mind and provide the much needed mental break from the stresses of the world.  Looking forward to a weekend of good food and good friends.

Ahhh...the weekend is finally in sight!

Wow...it has been one busy work week! I put in some monster hours as an off-site client meeting and need tomorrow to catch up on all my regular work!  Two days off site with no down time for email, phone, etc. can wreak havoc on a clean inbox!

I am looking forward to a long run at Forbidden Drive on Saturday...minimum will be 12 miles...I may push myself and try to go the full 13.1.  Saturday night we have a fundraiser event for the National Lung Cancer Partnership and ARL has a sleep over bday party to go to.  Other than that, a nice quiet weekend is on tap.  Just what I need after this crazy week!

Random fact...Do you know they don't have crickets in England?  I had some of my colleagues from the UK (and Spain and India) here with me this week for the big meeting.  One of the Brits was complaining he couldn't sleep because of the "bloody" crickets.  He tried banging on the window to get them to stop.  Too funny!

I hate Mondays!

There is nothing good abut Monday's (other than the CBS line up beginning at 8).  Ugh...the whole work week ahead and 4 long days until Friday!   My mom and I started a "martini monday" tradition...but she's over in Germany right now.  Guess I'll just have to drink without her tonight.

I'm combating the Monday blues by throwing myself into work.  I have a MAJOR capabilities presentation at a client I've been trying to break into for 2 years next Monday.  I'll spend most of this week agonizing over building the perfect slide deck.  I am hopeful that all this work leads to some business...but, I won't hold my breath.  Low expectations now = less disappointment later.

I got out for a 5 mile run this morning.  49:49...not quite as fast as hubby's 47:44 on Saturday....but I seem to have broken the 10 minute mile mark.
