Well, what do you know? I SURVIVED my staff meeting and two presentations AND wearing a skirt! Maybe the whole public speaking thing isn't that bad. Just kidding, it for sure is. But it is also survivable.
Wearing a skirt also got a lot of comments...maybe I should wear them more? Wearing it was just slightly less painful than the presentations. :) While at the meeting, I was able to get a nice run in on some awesome trails in Des Moines. It was mostly just through residential areas, but the people at the hotel pulled out a map for me and I was amazed at how many miles of trails are in the city! I was also amazed at how many people were out running.- it was a gorgeous, albeit, very windy day. The first half of my run was into the wind and up a hill, which made me look forward to the second half. I ended up running for about 38 minutes...maybe 4.5 miles, I left the garmin at home.
I used to love going to my staff meetings in Des Moines because that meant I was just a short 30 minutes away from Maddie! I would always book it right after the meeting ended to go visit and spend the night with her. This made for some early mornings, but it was totally worth it. Now, she ditched me - loser. So I was forced to actually spend time with my co-workers. :) We actually had an awesome dinner at P.F. Chang's. The conversation was good, and it is always good to get together with co-workers and vent a little, especially being a remote worker!
Looking forward to being able to get some work done today and tomorrow and then a nice relaxing weekend!
