Gotta love the short weeks

...only they're capped with 16 hours of school! Oy!

Tomorrow, a new module begins for the MBA program, but it's one of the last 3 and really, only 2 of the last 3 modules have any work, so we are certainly approaching the home stretch. It's amazing how much the workload has shifted since the big climax around Marketing and Corporate Strategy.

The nice part about the weekends at school are the opportunities for long runs. I'd like to get an hour on Friday night and then another 5 miles or so on Saturday morning. We'll see if it happens this week.

Apparently my parents had to cut down "my tree" in the backyard today...it finally was too sick to remain. Ah, funny. I think my mom's handling it worse than I am.

Howdy from San Fran

Got a nice evening run in around the city by the bay this evening. It's so nice to go out at 8pm when it's just starting to get dark out and run in the 60 degree breeze. What a change from waking up to 90 degrees this morning. Sorry that Mama and the bug are still in PHX b/c it's rather pleasant weather here...

Anyways, 6.2 miles around Russian Hill, Embarcadero, Nob Hill...Lots of hills in that route, if you notice. The hill climb up Mason from Broadway to the Marc hotel is crazy! It literally feels like the hill is getting steeper as you climb.

Nothing too exciting in the world today to share. Lots of good career opps possibly coming with a new business deal. That's always exciting...until then, I'll keep stuff going here!

Fall Training / Racing Schedules Released!

Ah, the summer is beginning to wane (not that the 108 today agrees!) but the fall/winter racing calendars are coming out! You know it's beginning to be that time of year again when the GetSetAZ emails and ArizonaRunningEventsCo emails and schedules start coming out, filled with 5ks, 10ks and Half-Marathons.

I'm eyeing the trifecta this winter: Tucson Marathon 12/2, PF Changs 1/13 or Carlsbad Marathon 1/20 and then Desert Classic 2/2. Of course, I'd love to go to San Diego and run the Carlsbad on the beach, but Mama's expecting in February, so a 6 hour car ride may not be possible...we'll play it by ear. The baby on the way may also get in the way of that February run, so we'll see...
