Me, Backwards

Since last we blogged…

• Tunnel time last Thursday … probably one of my best sessions ever.
• Vegging in town on the Friday holiday … much needed after the four-day boogie.
• Skydance on Saturday, three very fun jumps
• Downtown Davis on Saturday night to watch a PAC-load of jumpers do a demo for the crowd at the city’s July 4th celebration, then after sunset, a nice set of fireworks.
• Sitting through the first jump course at Skydance on Sunday (as a prerequisite to my coach rating course, which will be next weekend).
• Attended my friend Ken’s memorial service Tuesday afternoon (he’s the one who died at the boogie).  It had been a while since I’d had one to attend, and I’m reminded that they’re never easy.
• Taking Daisy back to the vet again on Wednesday since she’s been showing signs of decline (tired, tentative, puking, clingy).  Vet agrees … she’s definitely not well.  Ran more tests that were mostly inconclusive, so we’ll see if she bounces back or not.
• Preparing for my duties doing volunteer crew for the Avon Breast Cancer walk in San Francisco this weekend.  I’ll head into the city on BART in a couple hours, and be there till Sunday afternoon/evening.  Tonight’s at a hotel (no other practical way to do it since we need to be ready to go at 5:15 tomorrow morning and Sean’s out of town), and Saturday night will be camping as part of the event.  My team is running a quick stop that’s only open on Saturday (the route is longer that day), so Sunday we’ll be involved in breaking down camp and other duties as needed.
• And throughout it all, working, working out, and trying to stay energized.  Since the boogie my energy level has been nowhere near normal; hoping it’s just a quick phase, and I’m hoping this weekend’s events will help me to rally.  I’ve been involved in the 3-Day walks before, which have a very similar structure, and have always enjoyed it.  I’m sure this will be no exception.  I’d love to walk, but am so hesitant to give up my weekends for long training walks.
