Busy busy! Go have fun!

I'm trying to get all kinds of projects wrapped up at work so I don't have any issues while I'm away next week. It's a typical daily struggle of me vs. hourly employee's who don't understand what "pull all of the weeds from these rocks" means. It looks like I'll have everything finished today with a manufacturer inspection tomorrow, perfect timing.

I visited a friend of mine in Boulder and saw her presentation about how she recovered from epilepsy to become one of the top ultra runners in the world. I wish they would update her bio online, it's pretty old and doesn't have the last 4 or 5 years listed. She was, as always, very inspiring to me and really helped me refocus on what I am doing in many aspects of my life. Intent to find more of my inner beast I went out running on a loop that I've never been able to finish in under 2 hours 5 minutes and absolutely killed it at 1 hour 59 minutes. I almost threw up at the end but I left everything on the trail and was thrilled I didn't actually barf all over, the parking lot was filled with people and I wasn't up to give them a show.


It was bowling night too, about 20 of us from work showed up. We had a blast and I let my guard down and was determined to just have some fun and enjoy the moment. I even wore these (in disco short version, hard to bowl in pants) to lighten up the mood some:

I bowled a 130 or something, then a 92. But on the other lane I was bowling I got a 140. I was using a 6 pound ball working on my spin and disco moves in 2 lanes at once. I got home and my old neighbor was there, he is going with us this weekend for a 4 day mountain excursion. While we chatted I inhaled about 2000 calories so I would have some energy today.
Not only did I give it my all and had fun today, but I then got the pleasure of not sleeping all night while my body bitched about what I had done to it. Oh the joy's of being me.
