On Thursday night, I headed out to Brasa Steakhouse @ Brier Creek for a team work dinner.
This is an awesome place for experience-oriented dining and the food was without a doubt top notch. There are several options available, including a fully stocked buffet - but in the theme of typical Brazilian steakhouse, meats are carved tableside on long skewers...and they keep on coming until you flip your coaster over to the red side (from green). I think I had about 12 servings of meat. Yum! Brasa is highly recommended and is only about 5 minutes from RDU Int'l for anyone traveling to the Triangle.

Baltimore Half Marathon : Completed
Well, I finally did it!
I completed my second half marathon last weekend in Baltimore. This time (unlike the first) everything went incredibly smooth and without injury!
It could not have been a better weekend...
I flew up to BWI after work on Friday, then grabbed the Light Rail to Camden Yards. Once there, I picked up my race materials and checked in to the hotel. I then got some shrimp pasta (for fuel) at Tir Na Nog Irish Pub @ the Inner Harbor and hung out there for a while before heading back to the hotel for some shut eye.
On Saturday, I headed back to the Inner Harbor for the start of the run. The 13.1 mile journey started at 9:45 sharp. The temperature was about 60 degrees at race start. As for the course itself, there were definitely several hills so I was very happy with my finishing time of 1:57:06 - under my goal of < 2 hours.
The people of Baltimore, regardless of the neighborhood we were running through, were very supportive in cheering all runners on. On a personal note, I haven't heard as many "Go Duke" cheers in quite a while (I was wearing my Duke running shirt). At any rate, the people of Baltimore were out in full force, providing everything from misting stations for cooling off to gummy bears for much needed fuel. It was great to see such a supportive crowd.
After the race, it was time to relax. I collected my finisher's medal and recharged with some fluids before checking out of the hotel. I then hung out back at the Inner Harbor for the afternoon where I had a great lunch (crab cakes) at Phillips. They were amazing. Then it was off to BWI for the short flight home to RDU (42 minutes on SWA).
It's amazing how much you can do in 24 hours!

NYT Op-Ed - China’s Rise Goes Beyond Gold Medals
This New York Times Op-Ed piece presents a good viewpoint.
After studying China in-depth at Duke and then visiting the country for several weeks, it is clear to me that the relationship between China and the rest of the world will dominate geopolitical relationships in the foreseeable future.
