Barnhardt Trail

Rocky Point

Had a blast in Rocky Point with Sarah and the dogs. Hung out on the beach and enjoyed the peace and quiet.

Shiprock Half Marathon...

Finish time: 2 hours 2 minutes and 16 seconds. Not too bad considering my stomach was killing me and I had to use the port-o-potties along the way! Great day for a run...mid 50's at the start with a light breeze and mostly downhill course. The bummer was that I decided to drive home right after the run. That's a 6.5 hour drive, so needless to say, I was tired and stiff by the time I got home.

Big changes in my life...

Well, Dana and I weren't able to make things work and we have split. It's been very sad and lonely, but it gets a little easier every day. I know it's for the best and we'll both be happier in the end, but it doesn't make it any easier. She has moved back into her house and I have started getting mine in order. I wish her the best and hope she finds happiness. I guess I wish those same things for myself.

Sad News...

Had to put Boona down last night. He was 21 and lived a very good life, but it was still one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. Hard and sad night for sure.

Some of the kids...

New toy...

Got a new toy and it got delivered today! It's a cocktail version of Ms Pacman/Galaga/Pacman. Actually, I called and bugged the guy so many times with questions about it that he decided I was getting serious and he threw in 48 games for free. It has Centipede, Frogger, Astroids, and all the other classics. Very excited to get it in place and start playing! Here I go...wokka, wokka, wokka

PF Chang's 1/2 Marathon

This was a first!

All 4 cats in the same small area, that's unheard of at my house. They seem to be playing nice lately so let's hope this togetherness continues!

What a day!

Brook my one day foster

This is Brokeback, aka Brook, my newest foster dog. She wasn't good to the cats at all and had to be sent back after only one night. She was great with the dogs, but wanted the cats for dinner it seemed.

First week down -

Well, my first week at the new job is behind me. It was a good week and everyone is really friendly. The building is a maze and it'll take me a while to find my way around, but I know where the important things are...my office, the server room, the restrooms, the kitchen, and the gym. I've been taking the bus downtown and loving it. I try and get on a really early bus so I can workout before my shift starts. I started documenting the network this week and I'm starting to understand it slowly. It's a really complex network that is going to take some time to figure out, but I'll get there. I have several items on my to do list already and once I get my office in order I'll start hammering away. I think I'm going to like everything about it and will keep you posted.

Bike Tour Of Colorado -

Well, I made it! I rode in the Bike Tour of Colorado this past week and got home safely last night. The ride was 7 days with a rest day in Telluride so I got in 360 miles in 6 days of pedalling with one day being a 100 mile day. Oh yeah, did I mention it was in the Rocky Mountains!! We did over 33,000 feet of climbing and saw some beautiful sights. I had some altitude issues on day 1, but that went away and I didn't have anything but really sore knees the rest of the week.
