A decent week, overall.  I finally got back into weightlifting and it feels good.  Next Saturday a few of us are heading to Shenandoah for a big day, and I am pretty excited.  Hopefully we can spend 6+ hours on the trails and get in 30+ miles.  Prior to Saturday I should be able to get in some good runs during the week, and even some more time in the gym picking up heavy things and then putting them down.  Today Alex P., my photographer and I made the trip down to Richmond to watch Sniper's showing of the film Solstice.  Kari and I will be making another trip down to Carytown to spend some time antiquing, taking photos, and eating ice cream.
