Keeping a commitment to go to the gym is hard when you are sick. I spent the week recovering from a bad cold, having root canal, and running all around for various things that kept me too busy to make it to the gym every day. I did go twice, which isn't that bad, and I am planning to get there today. But the next two weeks I'm going to be traveling for work, so that's going to cut down on my gym attendance.

I'm going to Las Vegas next week for a mangement seminar. I get back from that on Friday afternoon. Then the following Sunday, I leave for Chicago for a three-day training on Silverlight.

Meanwhile, I'm trying to make plans to remodel the downstairs of my house. I've had a number of build and design folks come over, and I'm waiting to get some estimates so I can make a decision on how to move forward. It's exciting, but it adds to the stress of my life.

I am looking forward to getting away for these training opportunities. Not just for what I will learn, but because I hope they will reinvigorate me. I'm not sure why, but I feel like I need some reinvigoration.
