Looking at my last post, it's been quite some time since I've posted anything. For the most part I have been enjoying some down time at home just generally relaxing. Two Sundays ago I had to run the marathon that I had signed up to do 6 months prior, cursing myself the entire time. Met up with a bunch of good buddies from high school and went to the starting line. We all started out together but about half way through there were four of us (me, Rees, Kevin, and Sam). We kept a great pace throughout the entire race and ended up running faster during the second half (how I don't quite know). We ended up running the marathon in 4 hours and 34 minutes, which is around 10:25 each mile. No land speed records, but we started and finished it together- something to be said about that. After the race I made my way to a friends place downtown and we all celebrated finishing the marathon.
The day after I was recruited by my buddy, Ned, to help paint a garage. After about 20 hours of work in 30 hours we were told by the homeowner we had screwed up the job. Whoops. Hopefully I can get some pictures from Ned to show our handy work.
The days after the marathon and the garage were spent rather lazily (which I think I deserved), until this weekend when I went up to Madison to root on the Hawks. We ended up winning by 10 and I had a great time tailgating with an old friend and meeting a whole bunch of new people.
As for now, I am slowly gathering my belongings and getting organized for my return to Colorado. I am scheduled to leave on Wednesday and stay with my friend, Drake, in Grinnell Iowa. After that I am hoping to meet up with friends in Fort Collins, Colorado for an (believe it or not) opera show that a guy we know is starring in. Should be a hilarious awesome time if I can make it. More updates to follow.
