I only have a minute.. so a quick update.

• I finished all 34 miles of Snake Creek this weekend. my time was slower than last year, but I felt good for at least part of it. So a good place to start from. I hope it doesn't hurt so badly next month.
• My employment status at work changed today from 3-month temporary employee to permanent regular employee. That's good news since I can not have to worry about finding other work in the next month and can settle in more here.
• The tradition of rain when Thad and I camp kicked back into gear with a trip to the Chilhowee this weekend. Not sure what else we expected (or why we expected it).

Not much else to report right now. I could go into more detail on the weekend, but I don't have time and I don't find it publicly overly interesting myself. It was a good, relaxing weekend away from work and all of that. I take from it a desire to improve on my performance at Snake and a need to start working towards TransIowa in earnest. But then again..... that sounds so much like work.....
