This last week was fairly low key. We've been invaded by all the auto-philes in town for the Barrett-Jackson car show. I helped out the TGen Foundation last year when they started a colon cancer fund with Craig Jackson, but I was unable to go this year. The cars parked on our soccer fields across the street so we couldn't run around there too much with Rohan and the dogs. It will be even crazier next week when the PGA's Phoenix Open is here, and right next to our place. They are already blocking/fencing things off in preparation. I'll be working the world famous 16th hole Tuesday and Saturday, and hopefully going with Mara on Sunday next week (sans Rohan).
Rohan has been loving the tee ball set Sasha got for him (much to my delight!). He asks to play almost every night and he really smacks it well. Mara got tons of cool pictures last weekend too.
We haven't been running since the marathon, just to let our muscles heal a little. My foot is still sore (probably tendinitis), but we've been walking almost every night we don't climb.
Saturday I had a symposium to attend with TGen at the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale. It was more of an attempt to spur more collaboration between the two institutes, but it was really pretty interesting. I had two posters to present on proteomics and epigenomics which drew some interest from researchers, so it wasn't a total waste of a Saturday morning! :)
After the symposium I meet Mara, Heather, Grandma Hansen, and Rebekah (who Heather mentors) at AZR and climbed. Heather & Rebekah did great for their first time climbing! They both made it to the top of a route or two, and Rebekah really seemed to like it! Hopefully they'll be back soon!
Sunday Mara, Rohan and I went to the Phoenix Science Center for their Body Worlds exhibit. It's the 4th time we've been to it since our honeymoon in 2005, and it still is absolutely amazing. We see something new and cool each time (especially with Mara learning more everyday and me picking some of that up too). We REALLY encourage anyone and everyone to go, at least once, to get an up close view of the human body in it's most exposed and vivid presentation.
The rest of Sunday was spent watching the Packers and Steelers win their conference championship games to go play each other in the Super Bowl. Should be a great game! Mara spent some time at Starbucks writing a paper and studying, then we went for a good walk to get us and the dogs some outside time. With the weather being absolutely gorgeous, at 75°F and sunny, we can't pass up the chance to enjoy it!
Hope everyone had a great & active week/weekend!
