Weekend

Only one post last week - bad me.... I did have an excuse though - I only worked 3 days last week. Obviously, Monday was Labor Day and I was in Chicago. On Friday, my best friend from college came out from Chicago to spend the weekend and participate in the LA Triathlon. So, I managed to squeak out one post mid-week and then headed into the long weekend.

What a weekend it was - one of those weekends you look back and just marvel that you were able to accomplish so much in such a short period of time. As I was relaying my weekend activities to co-workers this AM, they all commented on just how packed it was (of course my energy level is virtually zero today). A portion of some of the weekend events and activities:

- Old Town Pasadena
- Toured the Gamble House (great example of Arts and Crafts Architecture)
- Ran 18 miles with my marathon training group
- Went to the LA Triathlon exposition
- Saw Bebel Gilberto and Pink Martini at the Hollywood Bowl
- Dropped friend off at 6 AM in Venice for the start of the LA Triathlon
- Watched the finish of the LA Triathlon (downtown LA)
- Had small fight with the boyfriend
- Walked along the beach in Santa Monica - a great way to end the weekend

Wow - crazy. I must say I am ready for a relaxing weekend. However, I must say that I very much enjoyed the LA Triathlon stuff. I have been saying I am going to do a triathlon for the past few years. However, I think watching the event actually may have inspired me to try one. Of course, the number of hotties was a big draw as well. I also felt a sense of urgency as participants write their age on their calves (so competitors can see if the person they are running behind is in their age grouping or not) and I saw so many "35's" out there. The numbers definitely thinned as they went up. So, I guess the clock is ticking.

So, a good weekend. Hopefully, tonight I will get a nice long sleep and will be motivated to write about a more serious topic tomorrow. Until then.......
