Hi there, it's me

So I have been majorly slacking on the blog thing! I even had a Friday training at work that focused on blogs and spoke about the future of blogs, both in the work place and in our personal lives. It was pretty cool, but made me realize that I am not a savvy blogger at all. Oh well! And Laurie I am with you in that I dont get Twitter. I really dont want people to know that I am going pee or being lame and watching a movie in my bed! TMI people TMI.

Lets see. There has been a lot going on so I guess I will just post random bullets as I usually do.

- congrats Peggy and Grant on baby Abby! She is so cute

- congrats Mandy J on your lil bebe and I love reading your blog and seeing your pics!

- I havent ran in weeks and it is really frustrating. Both my knees are shot from the marathon and I cant run more than 20 minutes without being in severe pain. It is awesome-- not. I have had this for a while now and I am getting to the point where I dont know if I will be able to run again-- I know I am being over dramatic but still! So I have resorted to the elliptical which is boring as crap. But I have branched out and have started going to free yoga, lifting weights, swimming and even walking! Maybe this will make me more well rounded in the exercise world... or just fat. haha

- I am a swim coach for a triathlon group called TEAM in Training and it has been a lot of fun so far but it is hard to get up at 5:15 again! It is only one time a week but still!

- I am also a assistant coach for another triathlon group and I am excited about that one too-- its all woman training for an all womens race and it should be interesting. We have our first track workout tomorrow and our first swim workout bright and early on Saturday!

- I am trying to decide what race to do next but at this point I cant really do anything so I guess I better focus on getting better!

- I am trying to plan a vacation for my mandatory time off here at work and I just cant seem to figure it out!

- I wish I had some really good girlfriends here in Austin although I do love the ladies I work with and we have a lot of fun. But I feel like the mother hen because I am older than most people around me at work. I miss all of you guys

- Work sucks... nothing new. Although I now consider myself a leader on my team and actually talk and interact in meetings. wooo

- I have started being better about saving my money. I need to do some major work on my car and save up for a house

- Victor and I saw Kanye West and his new girlfriend at dinner the other night! We were too chicken to ask for a pic though!

That is all!

LOVE YALL,
Corey

:) thanks! i feel you on the running thing...i had to cut WAY back mid-marathon training and i was not a happy camper!! i had finally committed to doing another 4.5 yrs after completing my first (and only) and then my hip started killing me!! totally frustrating! i, too, despise the elliptical! and walking...but now that i'm 17 weeks preggo, the stationary bike is becoming my friend...and i even gave swimming a whirl the other day! what a concept! i am hoping to become more well rounded too, no pun intended!
