Thanks If I catch up with something, I had been lagging and now am on schedule.  Your first sentence is a correct use of this phrase. If I catch up to someone, I am now in contact, either in person or on a mechanical device.  Your sentence is also correct. I can also catch up with a person, as in a foot race.
