Houses, and Travel and Races - oh my!

So it's been forever since I last popped in here. Honestly, I think about it all the time, but there's just so much going on.

Our condo is under contract to be sold. As of right now, we're expected to close on April 19. We had the appraisal today, so fingers crossed it went well. We're mostly moved out and really just need to get out bedroom and kitchen packed up, which I don't think we can really do until we're about ready to leave (which will be official on the 18th). In related news, the new house is coming up great! It's actually a house now, four walls, a roof and all! We got windows, doors, plumbing throughout and ductwork in last week. This week is electrical. I can't believe how fast it's going, but I know once we move out of the condo it will seem to slooooww down.

It looks like I'll be working out of Dallas for a while too. Right now the plan is for me to go out 3 days/week and the project will last about 6 weeks. I'm not sure if I'll be out here the entire 6 weeks, but I'm here now and will be next week as well. If it wasn't such crazy timing with the house and all, I'd be way more excited. I really like Texas a lot and I enjoy my coworkers out here (even though I hardly see them) and I know I'd have a lot more fun if I wasn't so dead tired. As of right now, I've been up since 4 AM and am planning on hitting the sack as soon as I'm done with this entry.

In health news (since that's what this is supposed to be about), I have quite the race calendar over the next several weeks. I have a 5k this coming Saturday (Will Run for Margaritas 5k - seriously, how can you skip out on that?!), a half marathon and a 5k next weekend (the 17 and 18), another 5k the 25th, a 10k on May 2 and I think another 5k somewhere in there. Whew. It's going to be a busy next few weeks. Granted, I'm not actually registered for any of these races, so it'll be interesting to see which ones I have the time for (and that my bank account will be able to support).

The half is a sure thing though - I've actually trained for this one. I'm anxious to see how I do. Stay posted for race reports.

Ok, It's 7.05 out here and I'm ready for bed. Adios!
