On a good note- I had a good round of trips last week... Chicago went well with some great meetings. I flew to Phoenix and got a couple nice runs in (despite being in middle of desert- it was surprisingly refreshing with no humidity).
I went to see the Diamondbacks play the Giants Thursday night with a coworker and a client. We had AWESOME seats (thanks for my client's season tix) and I had my closest encounter with catching a fly ball. Barry Bonds was up to bat- hit a foul ball which I saw was coming directly towards us. At the time, I was holding my Blackberry in my right hand and my beer in my left hand. At that split second, I did not know which one to throw first as my coworker buried her face in my shoulder. I ended up sitting there stunned as the guy in front of me got it. Dammmn! In hindsight, I should have shoved my stuff towards my coworker and made a dive for it, despite the fact that I was wearing a skirt. Yes, I wear skirts to baseball games.
On a bad note, I was eating popcorn that night and part of my crown came off my tooth. Ouuuuch! I am going in tomorrow morning to get it fixed before I fly up to NYC for work. So I have avoided hot/cold foods since then and in turn have not really eaten anything or drank cold water as it hurts like HEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLL. I do not recommend losing part of your dental work.
We ended our meetings Friday around 3:00 PM so I headed down to the pool at our hotel/resort. Turns out there were about 14 different pools, complete with lazy river, waterslide, and other fun ammenities. I ended up going down the slide no less than 8 times and drinking about 94 Coronas while enjoying the Phoenix sun. In turn, I kept the night going with a fun night out on the town and feeling the pain when I woke up for my 6:00 AM flight Saturday morning.
So, today's prescribed run is 7 miles. I woke up late and temps had already hit 90 degrees with full humidity. Yes, that means the dreadmill. Oh well... at least I will get some outdoor runs in this week in NYC and Philly. My travel schedule has been totally nuts and I feel like I am not completely 100% into marathon training right now- which I think is a bit understandable. I need to continue to buckle down though and get through the crazy travel times as it ain't gonna get any easier from here!
Happy trails to all!
And oh yeah... I almost forgot. This one's for you, Chief. Bandera and Omar missed ya!

That's about as close as I got to that dessert when I was actually at Banderas with you!
If you ever catch a ball from Bonds, be sure to throw it back!
Listen, Chief. If you hadn't woofed down all the fries with your steak n' enchilada- I would have shared.
Get your own, OK?
That stuff is amazing.
I need to run extra miles to burn it off as I did not share it with Margaret either :)
