Fun times this weekend!

Well, I must say that for it not being a weekend with a "big" event planned, I sure did do a LOT!

Friday night I went for the first time to Martinis and Imax to see a really good swing band, and I knew a lot of the dancers would be out, so I even got a little dancing in! Saturday morning, I got up early and Betsy and I went down to GT campus to run the Pi Mile race (3.14 miles for all you non-nerds) - essentially, it's a 5K. I have been running 3 miles a few times a week for a while now, and it seems no matter if I'm on the treadmill or the ground, it takes me about 30-32 minutes to run 3.1 miles. Well, I guess I was inspired, because I ran the race in a little over 27 minutes. I calculated out to 8:50 per mile average. I ended up finishing #37 of the women overall. I'd guess there were somewhere between 300-400 people running, though I am not a great judge of numbers. Back home before 9:00 am saturday, and I got ready to go take a tour at the Lockheed plant to see where/how the F-22 Raptor is built. Scott's dad works there, so he was able to give us a tour, and it was pretty neat to see.

I came home to have a relaxing afternoon, and around 5:45, Amanda called to see what I was doing for dinner. We somehow ended up deciding that it'd be a really good idea to do an impromptu BBQ. Between the two of us, we had nearly all the materials for a good BBQ - Meat and Beer. We started IMing and calling friends, and within an hour had a group to come over! I think a total of about 15 people showed up, and it was so fun!

Sunday I came down to Tech to do a recruiting event for women who have been accepted but may not have yet decided if they're coming to tech, so I was asked as a "young alumna" to come and talk and schmooze with the girls and their parents. It was a ton of fun and brought back memories of my time at tech and recruiting. I love doing that.

Overall, I just really enjoyed myself this weekend. Oh yeah, incase anyone actually cares, my workout routine is still going strong.
