Checking out MacRitchie Reservoir this morning before the AWA meeting.
I had about an hour before the AWA meet-and greet so I decided to check out MacRitchie Reservoir as a potential running spot for Henry's short days at school (so I don't have to go home and then back to school in the three hours he's there). It was awesome and I don't know why I haven't gone there before?! There is covered parking, showers, lockers, and shaded trails. I can't wait to check it out by running it tomorrow as my first official training run for the Sundown Marathon on June 1. That's right: I'm registered! Third time is a charm, right? (Attempt #1 resulted in a stress fracture so I couldn't do it; Attempt #2 resulted in deferring my entry to 2014 since I'm not going to be in Texas in March 2013.)
At the AWA meet-and-greet today I met and greeted some ladies that I don't know if I'll ever see again! The social was held at a nice antique store and although many items were tempting, I am pretty sure none of it was Craig's style and I don't want to move anything twice if I don't have to! I was slow to register for some of the other events AWA is putting on the coming weeks so maybe next time around I'll see a familiar face or two.
I'm going next week with ANZA (Australia & New Zealand Association) on a walking tour of Chinatown to learn about Chinese New Year, I'm going out with the AWA running group for a ladies night next week, and I'm going to my first ANZA book club meeting mid-February. Here's to getting out there and making some new friends!
