It's been a while since I've posted. Jenn has taken over posting the more kid centric stuff because apparently I wasn't doing a good enough job. There really hasn't been any groundbreaking news on the job front either. The next month or 2 should be fairly busy for me.
I will be in California for most of August. I test with the Federal Air Marshals on August 6, and then with the CHP on August 8. I fly to San Antonio to test for their fire department on August 14, which also happens to be our 10th anniversary. I had been planning on saving money over the last year for a fun trip to celebrate it, and now we're going to be spending it apart :(. I've got fitness testing with the CHP on the 22nd, provided I do well enough on the written test, and then fitness testing in Houston on the 27th or 28th. September 12 and 13 I will be in Oregon testing for their State Troopers. I should be receiving word from Oklahoma City about that time if I will be allowed to continue in their hiring process after scoring a 93 on their written test.
I've continued running and working out. Today I ran 3 miles in near 100 degree heat. I ran my best 2 mile time last week at 16:08, which is good enough to qualify for even the toughest of the fitness tests. Its very nice to be training at high altitude, considering anywhere I'll be testing will be probably 4000 feet closer to sea level than I am now. The only thing that working out hasn't done for me yet is weight loss. I hope I can shed a few pounds soon, it would be so nice to not have to lug around 240 pounds on long runs. I haven't been measuring my food or anything, but I have made a conscious effort to not eat large (for me anyways) helpings at meals, and I've cut out most junk foods. Maybe when I work up to running an hour at a time the weight will start dripping off.

have you cut out all sodas and juices? I hear men lose weight if they only drink water.
Women, on the other hand, only lose weight if they eat 400 calories a day and run a 10 K daily.
No, really. Hopefully spending your anniversary apart will be an investment that will pay off in the future.
I've been drinking mostly water. I still do a little juice and soda, but I've cut it way down. I drink gatorade sometimes after runs.
