6 things...

...I did this week:

1. Played in the ocean. On Friday, I met Lisa and Linden for a waist/shoulder-high day. The big waves brought out the real surfers! Once I got over the intimidation of being in a for-serious-dude lineup, it was so fun. Saturday was a girl's beach day; we laughed and joked in the waves and grabbed tacos and beers afterwards. My version of heaven. :)
2. Caught up with friends. In NYC, it's so easy to go a month or more without seeing a good buddy. Last week I was able to have dates with a few, and Erik and I even went to his friend's show at another pal's new venue in Bushwick.
3. The price that I paid for all of that fun: I worked around the clock meeting deadlines during the week. Can you say sleep deprivation? Phew.
4. Watched the Olympics. I love witnessing all that determination and hard work unfold during a race. Seeing the swimmers race reminded me of my competitive swimming past. Those long hours in the pool and weight room (often 5 hours a day!) taught me so much about leadership, challenges, and goals.
5. Kept up my marathon training. I'm up to 13 miles, which I logged in this morning's humidity. It was like running through soup.
6. Spent some QT with my handsome guy, fuzzy cat, and mom (via FaceTime). They make me so happy!
