So its been a while...

So, I know what you are thinking...why should I keep coming back to read this guy's blog if he doesn't keep posting. Well, things here have been pretty slow recently. I have been on my internship with Pratt & Whitney for the past month and a half and my project is moving along really well. I have a big presentation this Friday and hope to get some good feedback on the work so far. Other than that, I have found that I have tons of free time at night (just what I need with Alicia 2 hours away in Boston and me down in Hartford) that I have been filling with good stuff. I am training to run the Detroit Marathon in October and have been getting back into rock climbing (something that I have loved to do and have had an on-again-off-again relationship with for the past 15 years). Great stuff all around. Feeling great about the training in both sports. Just finished an 11 mile run two days ago which is right on track with my training schedule. Two months to go and I'll be finished with the Marathon!

Other than that, Alicia and I have had a great time on the weekends getting to explore the New England area. From a friend's awesome birthday on the Cape (learned the basics of skim boarding too) with the first clam bake since Orientation at Sloan, to driving around in the Jeep with the top down to see Swampscott, Salem, Marblehead, Gloucester, MA and Portsmouth, NH, to going to see a Brandi Carlile concert, we have been having a lot of fun. So much fun that I have been having trouble taking pictures of it all. Here are a couple of the shots that I have been able to take including some from a trip out to Pittsburgh, PA where we went to celebrate a friend's wedding. Hope that you enjoy!
More later...
