In the first week of August...

Good Morning!  Hope that you are well.  The first week of August is in the books and it's off to a fast paced beginning at work.  August is brutal for Housing and Residence Life--especially for our department this year as we sandwiched an office move in the first week of August.  Whew.  Still, was a great week on the roads.  I ran 55 miles this week and have now run 1079.9 miles for the year.  I have not done three best in a few weeks so here's my three best:

1. Sarah being back from Milwaukee.  It's been nice having her back as I missed her while she was gone.  We are about to enjoy a little French Toast Breakfast before I head into work for a move-in today.
2. New Staff Training:  The energy displayed by our student staff keeps me extremely motivated and energized.  It's a wonderful group and they did not make too much fun of me for my "eggs in the basket" faux pas. 
3. Friday Night Lights:  If you read this blog then you know that I love the show Friday Night Lights--which ended this year.  The show touches a lot of topics including personal decision making.  The coach, Coach Taylor, and his wife, Tammy Taylor, are often presented with challenges and opportunities.  I will say that this week I called upon a couple of story lines from the show to help me with a decision I needed to make.  At the end of the day, I think I made the correct, but difficult, choice.  Now...I'm not suggesting that I make tough choices based off of a TV show, but sometimes shows have a way of previewing the way things could work out and Friday Night Lights does that well. 

Have a great week.  I'll try to blog again midweek if possible.  Happy running to you...
