1. I did ONE last run before Rock 'n' Roll Denver marathon this morning. I decided to wear the Newtons that I haven't worn since.... February? March? (And randomly, a t-shirt. I NEVER run in sleeves).
I'm a bit hesitant to say that my run was AWESOME. Yes, all capital letters AWESOME. Like I could've run much further (and probably faster) than my easy 4.22 in 45. Let's hope this is a preview for Sunday.
2. I got an email yesterday from a place that I applied for a job in AUGUST. They hadn't filled the position yet and wanted to know if I was still interested. I didn't hear back yesterday but had an email this morning wanting me to come in for an interview at noon. Literally less than five minutes into the interview? HIRED. I start Monday :D
And... job is complete with 3 day weekends and completely flexible with my school schedule!
3. Remember that RnR Denver is on Sunday? That means... packet pick up. (And a horrible, horrible drive into downtown Denver. Feel very sorry for out-of-towners. It's a DISASTER down there). Like last year, pick up at the Convention Center. Don't know what the bear is about. Don't ask.
A and R (L's boyfriend, will be running his FIRST marathon!) |

A is also sprinting for the finish... even if you can't see her |
Love the bracelet A got! |
Sporting my new Razzy Roo 26.2 band (yes, I've already run 4 marathons but still didn't have one!) |
A's new Razzy Roo headband |
Quite possibly my new favorite one. You all know how much I love monkeys. |
And she had my ninja socks in stock. I LOVE HER SOCKS!! And ninjas?? I plan on wearing them to kickboxing. |
5. Unwinding tonight by watching "The Lion King" on Blu-Ray with the kids:
6. I totally ordered this decal today.
7. A was named "Scholar of the Week" at her school. She got a cool certificate and everything. (I'd post a picture, but a tad bit too much personal info on it). Also, can't remember if I bragged earlier, but she got selected to do some testing for a gifted and talented program.
Happy Running!
wow, woohoo on the job!!! and i was checking out your states raced... ummm how is TN one of the only not done? shame shame :)
ReplyDeleteYou definitely deserve that 50-miler sticker. I'd probably would have bought 30 of them and stuck them everywhere!
ReplyDeleteGood luck on Sunday! I'll look for you among the other 20,000 running! :)
I love the Rock-n-Roll series! They put on great runs! I did San Diego and Virginia Beach.....I really want to do Nashville and Vegas.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the 50 mile sticker. THAT IS AMAZING!

So it's kind of a like mother/like daughter thing with the school stuff! Smarties!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the job, How exciting!!
I couldn't figure out that was a bear. I thought it was a big fist or something going into the building. Either way, I still don't get it!
Seems everything is coming together, congrats on the job, sounds perfect!!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE this, especially the sticker!! I don't know what that bear is about either.
