Off to Denver!

I'm chewing on the last few bites of oatmeal and expecting Ivan any minuted with the Zipcar. My bag is packed (and not to bursting.) So it's off to Denver, for the national TESOL (Teaching English as a Second or Foreign Language) conference. 

There's a running dimension to this trip too, of course. My running shoes and other stuff are packed in my carryon so even if they manage to lose my bag (on a direct flight) I'll still be ready to run tomorrow. I'm excited to explore Denver and Boulder on foot, and I'm hoping to do at least one run with a group in Boulder. Which one. So far I haven't found weekly run schedules online, but I've got the number for the major running store in Boulder and I'll give them a call today.

I had a great run this morning after packing the socks and sweaters... about 8 miles in the neighborhood, more crew practice on Lake Washington (I see they have their first regatta in Seattle this weekend!) and felt strong and speedy. A good way to prepare for a long day of travel.

Ivan and the Zipcar are here... and so I go!

  1. Somehow we've gotten lost on the way to the airport... distracted by discussion of Niall Ferguson's "Empire: The Rise and Demise of the British World Order and the Lessons for Global Power." Luckily, we've provisioned for a bit more time, and J made the plane.
