Thursday's Travel Woes, Post No. 1,700 and Friday's AM Workout
Yesterday was another fun travel day. (Yes, you can hear the sarcasm wring from the word "fun" in that sentence I'm sure.)
I was scheduled for a 4 p.m. flight from Kansas City (MCI) to George Bush Intercontinental (I added the GB for all the Democrats in the crowd). I got there in time, but just barely for the 2:30 p.m.; however, when I went to check in and saw that there were four seats left, I tried to grab one. The system didn't respond in giving me one of them!
The gate agent helped me and she said that somebody else got the last one. I said, "Wait, there were four of them!" She explained that they had pulled three of them back for weight and balance issues. Well, I must admit I'd like to have made a flight that got off the ground safely!
So, then the fun began. (Again, all of you must think that I live a charmed life with all of the traveling that I do. If I could make the same kind of money and have the same type of job fulfillment with a local position, I'd seriously consider it; however, I get bored pretty easily. Yes, I need lots of stimulation.)
As the time for the 4 p.m. departure approached, there was no incoming plane. At some point (I didn't keep track of the time), they told us that because of thunderstorms in the greater Houston area that the plane coming to us hadn't even left yet. Lovely!
We didn't leave until about 7 p.m. and I didn't get home until about 9:45 p.m. No Bally's workout last night for me -- as it closes at 10! (The one in Pasadena, California next week close to where I used to work closes at midnight. I only ride the stationery bikes there. The hotel has a pretty good treadmill.)
You're reading post no. 1,700 since December 2004. And, yes, I'm happy that the blog is private and this one will never come public again. :)
So, I made it to Bally's this morning and got in 41 minutes and change on the treadmill and 25 minutes on the stationery bike. (Waverly put in an hour on the recumbent bike, but I chided her a little bit for not working up much of a sweat.)
We went to The Egg & I for breakfast in The Woodlands afterwards, and while I was waiting, I called Kim Hager and left a message on her cell phone to congratulate her for her age group winning effort at Ironman 70.3 Kansas in Lawrence on Sunday.
An update to my July 12-13 Austin weekend, Jessica Alexander said that she might go out to run the Toughest 10K in Texas with me in Lampasas. She said that "if I asked nicely". Hmmm ... when have I done anything but that? :)
