The items listed in the subject of this post have all happened since my last post...and some work a lot of training and an awful lot of humidity, but other than that, it was a pretty normal week...all of these events are worthy of their own entry, but since they all happened in such rapid succession, they'll have to be combined...
First, two weekends ago was a going away party/30th birthday party for my buddy Kevin. He's moving to the UAE later this month and turns 30 in September (about 3 weeks after I do). There were several events all day on Friday and Saturday, of which I participated in most. I think this was my 4th or 5th 30th birthday part that I've been to and all of them were pretty heavy weekends all around. This one was no different, especially when you factor in that Kevin is also moving to the Middle East for a couple years. I'm lucky in that I'll still be able to see him pretty frequently because of work, however, many of his close friends and family won't see him much more than once a year for the next couple years. I will say that I think everyone gave him a great send-off.
On to last Thursday. My sister-in-law Sueann gave birth to their 3rd child (2nd daughter), Megan Elizabeth. Here are a couple pictures.

The day after visiting Megan in the hospital, we went to Kate's wedding. Kate was one of Nancy's bridesmaids in our wedding and one of her closest friends. She's also really into biking and a lot of other outdoor activities. Below are some pictures of the wedding.

Kate and her father. Not going to lie, the kilt was a pretty cool touch.

Since I got back from Georgia, I've managed to string together a few solid weeks of volume training doing all types of stuff - lots of running and roller skiing, but also some mountain biking (still a trainwreck) and road biking, so I'm feeling pretty good about that. I've got nothing going on this weekend coming up which will be really strange. I am planning on doing a 5k running race on Saturday and get in some other training through the weekend. I'm also trying to put some plans in place to ski (that's right, ski, on snow) on my 30th birthday in a few weeks, we'll see how that materializes. So, plenty of good stuff coming up.
