Hectic Hiatus

Phew! What day is it? For the past few weeks that question has been more difficult to answer than usual, and for good reason. I had been posting updates roughly every week since January, but my recent hiatus has been hectic to say the least.

Since my last post on June 20th, I've officially spent time and toured around seven different cities and been out of town for 20 out of the last 28 days! (That's over 70% of the time!) It was a combination of work, personal, and Zeta travel. Lots of conferences and meetings, but also a lot of fun and great sight-seeing. Oh, and my brother got married in those same 28 days too. (Congratulations, Greg, and my new sister, Shayna!) Needless to say, the days that I spent at home in between were spent doing laundry and gearing up for the next trip. I was exhausted!

The good news is that I've rested up over the past week and am looking forward to enjoying some time at home for a while. My training plan is back in full effect and I'm actually looking forward to the triathlon and marathon.

At an attempt at an abbreviated re-cap, here's how I spent late June and early July...

Running along the James River in Richmond, Virginia:



Taking boat tours and enjoying great beers in scenic Belgium cities:


Exploring Seattle with Diane, Laura and Dave:


Yes, I did get one closer to my baseball stadium goal (#1 on the Operation 30 list). Safeco Field (#2 of 4) was great!

Sampling pints near Grand Central Station in NYC:


Reinvigorating my Zeta Spirit in Indianapolis at National Leadership Conference:
Overall, a hectic but great month. :-)

PS - Weird formatting can be blamed on me using a different laptop for this post. My personal laptop was infected with a virus yesterday. I'll have to go back and fix formatting when the Geek Squad has finished bringing my good 'ole Dell back to life.
