I think I just had close to the perfect weekend. Spend it in VA Beach, Virginia. This weekend was that VA Beach Rock n' Roll Half Marathon and though I had major doubts of running (due to knee trouble), I was able to finish in a time of 2:26:31. I ran with Pete and together we really pushed ourselves through points where I know I would have not made it alone. Pete has this way of motivation you just by being around hi, and Liz will attest to that by her story of seeing Pete off to the side on the finish line and sprinting to the finish. All in all I am happy with my performance :)
Then there was time at the beach with friends, my one regret was that I didn't get to spend time with everyone! But I did get to see everyone on several occasions :) The weather was pretty much perfect for a weekend at the beach. The temps were in the 80's with very low humidity and a nice breeze blowing. Then there was dancing on Friday night and the VT vs. NC State game on Sunday night (that VT won 20-16). I was also able to spend a good amount of time with Erin, as she was there to support her friends that were running.
On the beach we played a game called "fricket" in which the object is to throw a frisbee between 2 poles or knock a cup off of the poles. I've included some pictures of the game in action. 
Hope your weekend was as great as mine, I think I needed it with the week I have coming up. Interviews start today and will go for 3 days with 3 different companies. Wish me luck!

You don't need me to wish you good luck, just be yourself and you'll do fine (re-read your previous post).
good times this weekend. thanks for helping me push thru that thing. you definitely helped me finish a lot faster and stronger than i thought i would given the training i put in.
as for the interviews, i don't believe in luck. as i always say, you don't need luck if you're good ...
Hey, congrats on finishing! Sounds like a good time was had by all. Sorry we missed it.
