Day One Summary From WAWGG

What better way to kick-off the annual gathering of wine grape growers in Washington State then with a social hour reception and drink BEER! I guess we all must learn to pace ourselves and not go to wine crazy with another three days of everything wine. It has been said that a lot of good beer is needed in order to create great wine. After tonight, there should be a lot of good wine being created in Washington State.

For the bit about marathon training. I woke up early and got in an hour training session before I left to attend this years conference. My shoes are all ready to go. I drove passed my running route on the way into town, and I have blocked out a time tomorrow when I will be running. My training is starting to become a daily business appointment for me. It takes a mental change of focus to not always be willing to sacrifice workout time in order to perform some task at the winery. The ability to say "I will get to that as soon as I am done with this appointment (i.e. workout)" is a valuable tool. In the past, shelving the workout to be ready to always perform the needed task immediately was my modus operandi.

Check back often as I give updates to all the action at the 2011 WAWGG Conference.
