Almost time to go back to real life.

I'm still in Pittsburgh. Today is my off day and it has been nice to have a break. The one bad thing is that my lower back/right hip has been hurting. I think it might be because of my really cute new shoes, which makes me sad. I really like those shoes! I have really had a nice time in Pittsburgh, but not really because I like Pittsburgh. It has been wonderful to not have to worry about making dinner or breakfast or lunch. Its been a nice break from the office and I have had a loved just chilling at night. I've been fed by 6pm every night and then can go back to the hotel, workout and go to sleep. I really had no idea this would be such a break. I had no idea I really needed one but I guess I did. Most trips are just giant PITAs but this has been a pleasant surprise. I don't like the city much though, its a little scary and I'm sure lots of people will take offense to me saying that. I do really miss the swimming and I'll have to play catch up next week. I am due for a down week next week, but I'm going to put it off for a week. The week after next I am going to be in Edmonton for an AAPT meeting and that would be the perfect week to go easy. On top of that I have the New Jersey Tri the weekend after the meeting so it will be a nice taper. AAPT should be a bunch of fun. I've lost a little weight so I went to the mall today and got some new fun going out clothes. I actually had fun shopping and I have a great new skirt. If only the cute shoes didn't hurt my back....
