16 hour day… and still going

career, travel / 3 Comments

Today has been crazy. To catch my 6am flight out of Charlottesville (tear!), I had to be up at 4:30am. Because I am an absolute nut and I really wanted to do yoga in the morning, that meant waking up at 4am (probably should have been sooner, but I rushed like crazy through my getting ready routine). Upshot? I got up super duper early, but was really proud of myself for getting a workout in. When there’s a will, there’s a way! And then, in stream-of-consciousness form: 6am flight from Charlottesville to Atlanta. Dear Delta: why do you not stock …

New project, new me

On Wednesday, I start a brand new project. Along with the anticipation of new coworkers to meet and new work challenges to face, the week or so leading up to a new project also creates a bit of personal anxiety: how will this project affect my health and fitness? Long-time readers of the blog know that the traveling lifestyle of a consultant has always been a challenge for me. Monday mornings, I wake up at 4:30am just to shower and get to the airport – I’d have to wake up earlier if I wanted to get a morning workout in. …

I’m wrapping up my current project with three days this week and two days next week (and diving into my next project next Wednesday – no breaks for me). After two quick flights, I landed in Albany, NY, at 9:30am – in time to catch up with my mom a bit, work from her house in the morning, and then head up to my …

Race Report: Bermuda Marathon

running, travel / 12 Comments

Here I go again on my own,Looking down the only road I’ve ever knownLike a drifter I was born to walk aloneBut I’ve made up my mindI’m not wasting no more time And with Whitesnake singing background in a very apropos song (especially fortuitous since it was just what happened to play when I hit shuffle on my Droid holding more than 2000 songs), I began the Bermuda Marathon. Going into the race, I was terrified. To steal a page from my friend Adam, my goals for the race were as follows:A-level: Finish the marathon under 5:00B-level: Finish the marathon, …

Wine-delayed Friday post

travel / 1 Comment

Yesterday, I posted this poll on Twitter: Based on those two responses (and assuming that the rest of you had cut out of work early and were already at happy hour), I decided to wait to blog. However, what I failed to mention in that tweet was how exhausted I was, and that the likelihood of me staying up after drinking even two glasses of wine was slim to none. In fact, I went to bed at 8:30pm (which, with the time change, is 7:30pm back in New York), and woke up at 7:30am, for a glorious 11 hours of …
