And Away We Go!
Well I got my two workouts in for the day. I finished up my last day of work for the next 9 days. My mom is on her way (with O) from the airport to our house (so we can only turn around tomorrow morning and drive back out to the airport to leave again!). My bike is packed up. My paperwork is all neatly organized. I am ready to go! Except one small detail of course...the actual packing of just about everything else I need to take. Of course I left my least favorite job of all until the very end...packing. Major yuck. Who knows, maybe one of these days I'll learn to like it.
Anyway, this morning I headed to the track to make sure my racing flats still work and did 1.5 miles of straights hard, curves easy. It felt great to run hard again and I felt surprisingly good coming off a pretty big weekend of training. Then, after work today I treked to the Pitt pool (YMCA closed all this week - good timing seeing as how I won't be here!) for a 2000 yd workout. Felt pretty good in the water too, although I always seem to swim faster in that pool. Must be something in the water. Either that or it's a shorter pool than I think. :)
Tomorrow is a quick workout on the bike and then off to the airport for a flight first to Newark and then straight to Hamburg. Because of the time difference we actually get to Germany on Wednesday morning.
Unfortunately I don't think I'll have much internet access while I'm on my trip. To take the computer would just be one more thing to (1) carry in the airport and (2) worry about. O does have blog instructions and passwords/user names though in the case that he would like to post a few entries while I'm gone. But alas, I'm sure you'll be able to survive without me. The question is...will I be able to survive without you? :)
Hope everyone has a great week and a wonderful holiday weekend! I will be back Labor Day with many stories and pictures!

Okay, I promise this is my last good luck message. Have a wonderful trip...and while we can survive without you, that doesn't mean we'll like it. We'll just look forward to your return and hopefully you'll have many great stories to tell.
Good luck!!!

Best of luck! Can't wait for the report--and for any interim reports O gives us. (Thanks in advance, O.)

Best of luck, Beth! Maybe I'm a dummy, but can you/O repost a link so we can check in/follow along?
Also, I'm a big fan of O doing guest entries. I feel like we all kind of "know" O through your blog entries, but it would be fin to learn more. He could title his blog entries "Getting To Know O." It could be a series. Maybe I should stop now...
Anyways, best of luck!
