sorry about the delay!

ok, ok i know, it's been close to 4 months since i posted anything and you're all dying to hear the latest in my super exciting life! so here's the cliff notes version:
i ran a 1/2 marathon in april in nashville when i went down to cheer meg on while she was running her first full marathon - belated congrats for finishing and still walking the next day!
i ran another 1/2 marathon in may and was only off my PR by a couple minutes - this one was in fredricksburg and it was raining (pouring) for most of the race...but i was pretty happy with my time.
in may i started my new job as a public health nurse for arlington county (one of the neighboring counties closer to DC). my primary assignment is as a school nurse - i have an elementary school and a middle school. it's very different but not nearly as stressful as my last job and i like the people and the job. so far so good :)
in june i ran a leg of a triathlon relay with kory's dad and sister. his mom (who finished 2nd in her age group) and kory (who finished 3rd in his age group) each did the whole race. his grandmother was also here from CA so it was lots of bonding - and yes, my mom met his parents...
my mom, kory, and kory's dad all had their bdays at the beginning of the month so it was lots of presents and parties! kory and i also just got back from KS last weekend for a mini-reunion with some of my mom's family, it was a nice surprise to have the weather be 10 degrees cooler there than it was here in reston. tonight carrie kory and i are heading to the brad paisley concert at nissan so i'm looking forward to that. next weekend carrie and i are celebrating turning 30 by going skydiving! then the following week (august 5) i turn 30 (yay!) and we are going out to celebrate the weekend after. i am also doing a rock climbing class that weekend. in the middle of august i am doing my first (sprint distance) triathlon, in luray, va. then the next 2 big things on the race calendar are a 1/2 marathon in november (outer banks) and the full marathon (gulp!) in january in disney world. ok, enough about my crazy busy life and i know i left out a ton but i really will make an effort to do better about regular postings :) happy weekend!!!!
