What a relaxing day it's been. I rolled out of bed at about 10 this morning, and was plenty rested. I pretty much lounged around while working on a PowerPoint presentation for work. After that got boring I went to the clubhouse for a run. I'm getting better everyday, hitting at least 3 miles and going at a 2/.5 or 3/.5 pace (that's 2 and 3-minute intervals for every .5 degree speed increase). I haven't hit the 8.0 pace yet, but I'm close.
After the run I went back and threw my swim shorts on and went to the pool. I met a couple fellow tanners there, Jessica and Simca. They gave me the scoop on what's good to do in the area and what's good in Denver too. So far I think I'm ahead of the game in terms of getting connected here. I'm going out with Jessica and her friends sometime this week I think, but definitely making it back to the apartments with plenty of time to sleep. I definitely do not want a repeat of Thursday night...unless it happens on a Friday or Saturday. :)
The sun was great by the pool, with not a cloud in the sky. I laid around for a couple hours, which is something I truly missed doing this summer. After the tanning sesh I made some bacon and eggs for lunch. The other day I bought some Farm Fresh cage-free eggs and some center-cut bacon. I wish I had a better frying pan, because the pan I have here is a bit warped and doesn't heat evenly (I'm sure Erin can attest to what a pain that is). Either way, it was delish! But soooo filling! A nap was definitely in order after that meal.
When I awoke from my nap it was just about time for the Sunday Night Football kickoff. It never ceases to amaze me how much production goes into the NFL. I can't wait to see a Broncos game. I'm trying to get tickets to the Monday Night Football game between Denver and Tampa (apparently a big ticket here in town). I'm looking at $85 and way up to see the game. If that game falls through, then hopefully I can get some tickets for my birthday (Nov 2) when the Dolphins will be in town. That will be a great game for sure. The Bears beat the Eagles tonight, and it went right down to the wire. The CFL isn't like that at all, which is kinda why I prefer NFL.
Anyway, I'm off to bed now, and I'm a little nervous about the "huddle" tomorrow at work. Hopefully this whole blemish at work will soon be a foggy memory. Perhaps I'll post the letter that I wrote to the organization... It's quite wordy for what really shouldn't be a big deal if you look at the context. I guess I'm biased though, and the folks here don't know me yet. We'll see how it goes, and I'll keep you posted.
Oh! Speaking of posted: I put up some pics from my first week here in Denver. They're on Facebook because Blogger doesn't have good photo capabilities. You should check'em out and post comments for me. I really miss everyone back home, and the length of this trip has yet to fully sink in.
Well, that's all for now friends. Have a great Monday!
