March 5th – End Of A Great Week

March 5, 2010

I really enjoy Fridays.   Work was awesome.  This new job carries a lot more responsibility and a few more hours but I am having a great time.  I like that I am working on more complex problems and am a major part of something.

I had a great workout as well.  I was tired toward the end of the day and wasn’t really feeling like going but I forced myself into my running shoes and out the door.  I was able to run a faster three miles than yesterday.  I am up to 5.5mph (woo hoo).  I realize that I still really slow but it’s not as slow as yesterday.

Unfortunately, I am back on the road next week so I will have to figure out how to keep my momentum going.  This time I am heading to Detroit.  The company I work for has a technology partner in the area so I am flying out to meet their development team and work on an integration project.   I am excited to work on the project and I am excited to visit a new city.
