Old Town Scottsdale, such a nice place to walk and browse through the shops, take a horse carriage ride, and listen to the sounds of mariachis playing. My phone camera had to do.
So blogging has not been one of my favorite things to do lately. I knew going back to work full time would mean less time for myself to do the things that matter most to me. Training has become somewhat of a challenge, but I am committed to do this race even if it means waking up at the crack of dawn to get my miles in. This weekend we will be up to running 8 miles and it just goes up from there. December couldn't come any sooner. Having a running partner like my wonderful husband helps to motivate me even when we lay in bed at 5:00 a.m. and wish we could sleep just a few more minutes. Since Tucson does not have a time change, it can be pretty dark here in the early morning hours. Each day I tell myself, we can do it.
This weekend we met our friends from Japan in Scottsdale. Mike (pediatric dentist and his friend Chris next to Rene) the second person to the left of me was a good friend and is now stationed in Florida. Heidi the gal to the left of me was one of my docs at Yokota whom we met through Mike. Her husband is active duty and stationed her in Tucson. Unfortunately, he is deployed for six months and she is expecting her first baby in January. Luckily her family is from Phoenix. We had a nice dinner in Scottsdale on Saturday. It was so nice to see them both and walk the wonderful shops in old Scottsdale. We got to talking about the wonderful times we had in Japan. Times you can only reminisce about.......
