Highs and Lows

It has been a couple of pretty interesting weeks, one of lows and one of highs. Last week I was in New Jersey and had some pretty intense business meetings, overall they went pretty well. One was especially good and we are hopeful that it will lead to some good things in the short term. However, the road trip killed my running for the week - I ran 9 miles - that is really low. In some ways, I think I needed a little rest from the schedule so it was not really that bad, however, Easter weekend was full of lots of opportunities to eat and eat we did. On Sunday we went to Sunrise service and then had breakfast at church, we then went to an Easter egg hunt, ate deserts there. Then we went to the Varbles for lunch and the traditional egg hunt. Lots of really good foods at that. Finally, we went to the Rileys for but another meal - and of course a little more desert....We ate and ate and ate.

This week was break week and was a bit better - I have already logged in 22.5 miles and have a couple of more days, we got back on weight watchers (hoepfully the weigh in tomorrow won't be too bad). I took the week off and Linda and I did some things around the house, we also went to Syracuse University on Monday with Jen and finalized that decision.

I am so thankful for my family, my friends and really am starting to feel a closeness to God that is changing the way I look at things in general. I am in the process of reading a book by Desmond Tutu - God Has A Dream - it has helped to ground me on what is important. I would suggest it to young teens, adults, etc.

Next week I go back to work and am facing a number of challenges, not the least is we about to run out of money. We have a couple of deals that can pull it out that are lined up. Need to evaluate what we need to do to make them happen. Cannot afford to miss anything at this point. I am also going to really stay more with my eating and am going to supercharge my training. Will report in mid week....
