Its been way to long since I last posted. I probably last left you (you being like 1 of 2 people) with me about to start my new job. GEOS has been great...much better than I imagined. I've worked there for 4 months now and have for the most part loved everyday. Yea I've had some rough days, maybe one or two rough weeks as well, but in general I love my job. I don't count down hours to when I get to get home either, which I just realized last week. Therefore, I consider it to be a great job where I'm learning a lot. The atmosphere is not your usual cup of tea when it comes to office jobs - thats a good thing and bad thing somedays, for the most part I love it, but there are times when things get a little to crazy.
Triathlon season started off slow this year. I had every intention of doing Rev3 70.3 but quickly realized I have very little time outside of church, Kelly, and a job. Thankfully Rev3 was nice enough to let me downgrade to the Olympic race and still give me a great deal on it. While training started slow and I had to skip some training a few weeks due to a heavy work schedule, I've had a good last week of training before I taper and I'm confident I can finish and hopefully finish strong. One of my favorite things this year was to run the Knoxville Half Marathon, its something I never thought I could do. Well I knew I could do it but I always thought it would take weeks of training. Regardless I finished it in a very respectable time of 1:58 which is awesome considering my goal time for training for a half was 2:00. It was literally the most fun I've ever had at a race. I can truly say I was running with Joy in Christ. I've never been so happy in crossing the finish line either. I had probably the biggest grin on my face....Kelly even said she'd never even seen me smile that big, might have even shed a tear too. (Makes me smile just thinking of it) Overall it was just a lot of fun....I wasn't running for first place....I was running for Christ - I loved every bit of it. Next week starts my Tri season races...while I'm not perfectly ready I'm hoping its another fun summer of racing.
Things with Kelly have been great as well.....ok they've been awesome. Going into this Spring we expected the worse, but hoped for the best with our schedules. Things turned out to be great and we finally found a routine to see each other regularly during the week. We'll see how this summer goes...again hoping for the best but expecting the worse. I've been proud how she can jump back into school and essentially Ace all her classes, that a girl Kfairwea. I can't forget to mention she took me to my first MLB game last week - Braves vs. Cardinals, its quite the step up from the Smokies. I'd rather go to a MLB game than to even a UT football game any day! In general we had a great trip to ATL, we both stocked up on some IKEA and Trader Joes! Well I hope the two of you who read my blog are now caught up! Take Care I'm sure I'll see you in a few days or hours haha.
