The lab had a tailgate for the football game on Saturday. It was fun to hang out with everyone outside of the Gampel basement. This is Glenn and his new wife Sara.
Me and Dr. Kraemer at the tailgate!
I got a new fish to keep me company at my new apartment. It is really cute and likes it's new home I think. What should I name it???
Jim came to visit over Labor Day weekend. We spent a couple days in NYC. When we first got to the city we went to St. Patricks Cathedral for Sunday mass.
At F.A.O. Schwarz I enjoyed the lego versions of Harry, Hermione, Ron, and Hagrid. I also quite enjoyed the stop off at the American Girl Place.
Next stop was lunch in Central Park. We got Gyro's on the street, they were soooo good.
This is Wall Strett, and I am infront of the stock exchange. It was Sunday, so nobody was there, but it was still cool to see all the big buildings.
We headed over the the edge of the Island where we could see the Statue of Liberty in the background. It looked pretty small from where we were.
That night we went up to the top of the Empire State Building. The view of the city was amazing.
Me, Terra, Beth, and Kelsey out on Lake Norman tubing.
The Kirvens! I miss them.
All the crazy kids I coached this summer at Nationals.

Niagra Falls, a quick stop-off during the drive from MI to CT.
Me infront of the falls.
Awww, aren't we cute :) 
Look at how brave my mom is, she doesn't even look scared of height.
This was the pool we trained at on the trip. This picture actually makes it seem halfway decent.
Kristen and Kydani...workin' it on the pool deck.
The sprint group....looking all pretty in between sets.
The sprint group....looking pretty in between sets,
That didn't last long...they are goofing off again,
And even more goofing off...get back to work!
The annual team photo. Aren't they cute??
Only the 3 hottest girls around!This is the view from my balcony...pretty sweet, huh! It's been a nice quiet place to write all the killer workouts I've been making my sprinters do. 
A few nights ago we had a sprint group dinner. It was fun to get together out side of the pool. We ate at a nice place oceanside. They were very excited to see that there was no underwater kicking or 50's from a dive on the menu.
Our schedule here has been 5 workouts on, 1 workout off. That has given us a few evenings with no workout. A few days ago I got to go to Old San Juan for a bit of shopping. It was a little too touristy for me, but it did make for some good peoplewatching.
Today we had the evening workout off again. The team went on a catamaran for a day of sailing and snorkeling. It was a fun trip.
We saw some nice wildlife hanging out. We saw 5 or 6 of these lizards around the docks. 
We first stopped on this Island to get the feel for the water (like these kids needed it) and to eat lunch. The view was amazing. 
After a break there we moved around the island to a better place to snorkel. The rocks where the waves are breaking marks where the Carribean Sea meets the Atlantic Ocean.
These kids will get crazy when there is a camera around. Here is Christie getting up close and personal.
This one has Kristalynn, Cassie, and who knows who elses arms and legs.
This one is (left to right) Kristalynn, Bill, Cassie, Christie, Courney, Rachel, Steve, and Colleen.
There were a ton of fish to watch. They gave us some bread to feed them, and they would swarm. This picture isn't very clear but there were like 50 fish around me at that point. 
Cassie, Cournet and Sam, I think?
Back up on the boat we were able to relax and catch some rays. 
Sam, Jon, Danielle, Colleen and Heather on the catamaran.
Kydani and Kristen were just hanging out.
On their day off...what do I catch them all doing?? Swimming more, of course!
I'm in Puerto Rico right now coaching. The weather is great and we've got a great schedule. Here are a few pictures from the trip!
