Capitol 10K!

This past Sunday was the Capitol 10K.  This was my 5th year running the race, and I was more than a little nervous.  3 weeks ago I gave myself a hip abductor strain from overuse (aka training).  I had to sit out for 2 weeks and then start back up with elliptical.  Needless to say [...]

Ouchie….stupid hip

So….I hurt my hip again training for the Cap 10K. 2 weeks ago I over did it and now have a hip abductor strain.  I’ve had to take the last 2 weeks off running…didn’t do anything for 1 week, then last week worked the elliptical and cycling.  That went well….however today was my first day [...]

#23 – Go camping at least once a year (1/3)

I finally was able to go camping again (I wasn’t able to make it out at all last year)!  This past weekend was perfect; awesome weather and beautiful a camp site at Pace Bend next to Lake Travis.  It only took about 1 min to walk down to the water.  We went during spring break so [...]

#74 – Find a new job/role at work

Just realized I never blogged about this….I’m still in the same group at work but I moved over to Custom Bids.  It is a new role with new responsibilities (which I’m grateful for), however, I still am doing my old job as well.  2x’s the fun!
#75 – Achieve the next level at work
This is on hold [...]
