Here’s some actual information:

I am in San Jose, California and really enjoying my job here at Cisco.

(Edit: Mom and Dad came to visit and we did, indeed, have a great time in Yosemite.  I neglected to mention this because I was holding out for pictures)
I am going to Las Vegas with some friends here in a couple hours and will return on Sunday.  We are driving and staying 3 nights in The Venetian hotel.

I have given up on finding a convenient and reasonably priced pool for the Summer and have been only biking and running because of that.

I’ll be in a half marathon race (13.1 miles) in a week and a half (July 13th) that I am looking forward to.

I plan on doing my first marathon sometime this Fall.  My distances have been gradually increasing each week without injury so as long as things keep going like they are going I should be fairly prepared.  I had a quality 18 mile run on Tuesday that I was really happy with and typical marathon training only pushes to 20-22 mile training runs max so I’m almost there.  By “there” I don’t mean speed though, only distance.  My current and most important training goal:  Boston Marathon.  To qualify for the Boston marathon you have to have previously completed a marathon under a time of 3 hours and 10 minutes.  That’s about 7 minutes and 15 seconds per mile for all 26.2 miles.  My last training run was about 7 minutes and 30 seconds per mile for 18 miles so I don’t think I’m too far from where I want to be.  We’ll see if I can deliver at some point, if not this one than the next
Anyways, better late than never, better something than nothing, right?

Happy 4th of July!
