Back to Life...

We are back to the home town. The vacation was fun and the time away was great. Not to mention the Marathon! Thanks again to all my family and friends for the fantastic support!

Today was my first day running again and holy cow! It was great, much better than I expected. I ran a 8:33 pace which is pretty fast. I am going to be working on trying to keep my pace up. I really want to be able to run the Mini-Marathon in under 2 hours. A 8:33 pace would be about 1:50 minutes. It would really be awesome if I can keep my pace up for the longer runs.

I can't remember without looking if I already posted this, but I have 3 half-marathons I want to do by May 17th. Sam Costa; March 29th, Mini-Marathon; May 3rd, and the Geist Half; May 17th. I am excited about my new found hobby!

I guess now that things are officially official I will also let you know about my new job. Starting March 24th, I will be working for Hewlett Packard. I will be working from home and providing essentially 3rd level support for the Opsware product line.

I have been with Sallie Mae for the last 4.5 years. While it has been good, I had decided a few months back that it was time for me to start looking for something different. I had been looking at several local positions as well as some located in other places. I was then lucky enough to find a new job with the company that owns the product that I already have been supporting for Sallie Mae.
