This and That Update
It has been a very unusual few weeks for me. Here are some updates on what is happening:
1) Last night my daughter won most improved swimmer for the females on her swim team. There are about 300 people on her team and I was the very proud father!
2) My company that I am the CFO for was sold and the new company is retaining me. Might involve a move to Pittsburgh down the road but all good news.
3) I am recovering from viral encephalitis. Living in NC makes this a risk and that disease knocked me on my butt for a few weeks. It has really cut back on my running and last week I only ran 38 miles and this week will end up around 40 I think. Headaches and aches are almost gone which is good. Even though there is a high rate of permanment issues with the disease the dr and I feel that the worse is behind me and I should be fully back to my normal self soon.
4) Yesterday I ran a 5 mile race and because of the above I ran really lousy. Final time was 34:14 or about 2 - 2:30 slower than I would normally do. It will take me a few more weeks to get over this fully but should not affect my plans for the half marathon in November or full marathon in December.
Enjoy the day everyone.

Wow..It has been quite a few weeks for you. Good luck with the new company--I know how stressful that can be. I've worked at essentially the same desk for 6 years and have worked for 3 different companies.
Sometimes change is good.
Congrats to your daughter, and I hope you recover very quickly from your illness.
Take care.

Congrats to your daughter. I am sure that many runners would like to finish a 5 miles race in 34.14!
OK, don't think I want to move to NC anymore!! And hey, what's this, you trying to convince me I should live there yet you might be moving to PA what gives?? :)
