Madison Marathon

Yesterday (Monday) was a pretty packed day.  Not only was it my first day at my new job, but my nephew Buddie Powell had a band concert, and I was supposed to be running 15 miles as part of my marathon training.

I tried my best to make all of that happen, but Buddie's concert and my new job were first on my list of priorities, so I was sure to make it to those.  The training didn't go very well- I had a nagging injury that was bothering me enough that I was very aware of it.  A tendon on the top of my left foot seemed to be irritated by the tongue of my shoe, and although I was able to run about 10 miles, that was my limit and I decided that I probably need more rest to help that injury heal.

The concert was really good for a high school band.  The freshmen band was not so great, but luckily, they only played a couple of songs and then the upper classmen took over.

Today I got the first portion of an overview of the InformaCast suite, a very neat and functional piece of software.  Another neat thing that happened today was that I got a call from Ken Bywaters, my company's Executive VP of Product Development.  We discussed the campus and culture of Texas A&M at some length, he introduced himself and welcomed me to Singlewire.  It was really a nice gesture- one of many ways my new co-workers have made me feel welcome.

FIRST!

I'm normally not one to brag about being the first post on a topic, but this one's special. Welcome to my new blog!

There are several purposes to this blog- to share personal updates with friends and family, to explain the ins and outs of my day to day life with people, and possibly to help others who are looking for more information about various topics find it more easily.
