Day 15 - Chillin...Great Weather & Great Company

This week is a big week for the team.  I could sense at the meeting that things are starting to tighten up.  Friday, the 27th is going to be a big day.  However, tomorrow is the day that has been on the radar for a number of us because it is a big building day.  All of the equipment that was delivered to Mile End needs to be set up.  It's a lot of heavy equipment like weights and machines.  The difficult thing is that the storage area is on the complete other side of the track from where the new gym is going to be built.  I spent the afternoon coordinating with a number of people to see who could assist with the build out.  Up to this point everything is basically in order for all the training that is taking place.  Other than ironing out a few maintenance/housekeeping issues in the building today was a rather chill day which was a good setup to tomorrow.  Today was the best day here in London by far.  There was absolutely no clouds in the sky.  It was gorgeous.  At the end of my work I heard the water calling my name and went over by the river and simply sat and enjoyed the weather for a bit.  Then followed that up with joining Jen, Lucy, Denise, and some others at a place called the Fox by the Excel (competition site for most combat sports) for dinner and a drink.  We all sat outside.  For me, there is no better way to chill with good company than to sit outside on a beautiful evening.  It lets you relieve yourself of the busy day(s).  I know it was necessary for a lot of the girls in the office.  I also met Ryan, one of the other volunteers, there.  Another good hire to the team for the Games.  While there wasn't a ton of things going on today it was the kind of day that was definitely needed.
