I know, I know, I've abandoned my dear readers! Sorry about that. :( Life has been quite busy lately as I am settling into the new project I'm working on in DC, actually running most days of the week and attempting to see my friends as much as possible -- all while being tired from those activities. I think I'm getting old. And, my iphone was broken so I wasn't able to compose blog posts while waiting for the bus.

John has also been very busy with his job and I saw him for lunch yesterday so I'll give a quick update for both of us. It is good to know that not much has changed between the two of us -- I had a hamburger and fries and he had a healthy omelette with some wanna-be hashbrowns (aka home fries). We both seem to be doing pretty well on our training schedules although he's following a much more demanding one than I am.

Last weekend I got a good 10 mile run in early on Sunday morning (well early for me -- 8:30 am). It was the first time I had carried coconut water in my water bottle and it actually went really well for me. I've got to get 12 in this evening and plan on trying that out again. I'm ready for it to be a little cooler out so I feel less pressure to wake up in the morning and run but am headed to Texas tomorrow for the week and know it is only going to get worse. Although I'm mainly going to be in DC the next few months, my new project does want me out in the field a little bit. It should be an exhausting week of travel but it will be fun to get to know some of my new co-workers better and I'm hoping to squeeze in a few visits with my family down there.

In huge life news, my younger brother Patrick, got engaged to one of my best friends, Katie! Seeing as how my iphone was broken the past two weeks I haven't been taking many pictures so I thought I'd share this cute one I took of Patrick while we were in NJ a few weeks ago, and my parents' evil cat, Scout reading the paper. I'll update the blog with pictures of the newly engaged couple when I actually get to see them sometime in the next few weeks! Congratulations, Patty and KT!!
