Fall has shifted into high gear. This last weekend, I could especially feel it in the weather. Since it is now October, there are some pretty fun times right around the corner.
This coming weekend is the Hartford Marathon. I’m getting pretty excited/nervous about the event. It should be a total blast. I’m am a little nervous though, because once again, my training regime has tapered down to pretty much nothing, since the Philadelphia race. I had some lofty goals of qualifying for Boston, etc., this weekend. Oh well. It is always fun to get out and run, right? Anyway, it should be extra fun for a couple of reasons. First, there are a huge group of our friends from church that are also running this race. In addition to those friends, Deanna is making the trek from the Carolinas to join in on the fun. Deanna is one of Reagan’s friends from Tennessee. When they get together, all I have to do is sit back and be entertained.
The following weekend, my sister Sarah and her family are coming to visit from Alaska. This means that Piper will be able to meet some of her cousins on my side of the family. That weekend also happens to be my b-day. Normally I don’t really get pumped about my birthday, but I think that it will be really fun to celebrate it with some of my family in town.
Side note: I’m glad to see that the passage of the bailout bill was able to restore faith in the credit market. It is very apparent that it is already working, as I watch the Dow drop under the 10,000 mark. Way to go Congress. You really came through for everyone.

Aaron was sweating it out a bit too. I jokingly called him when it dropped sharply to ask if he still had a job. Thank goodness he does Compliance.
