I Love This Place!
I am in a really good mood this afternoon! I think the New Year is off to a good start, and I am starting to feel hopeful that my running may be strong this year as well. Just a feeling, but it's a good feeling.
There are many exciting things about to happen in 2005! I am confident that we have a few members in our community that are going to have an awesome showing in the Boston Marathon!! There are a few of us shooting for sub 3's and some of us who are aiming to go sub 2:50! This place rocks. I have definitely made some friends here that I feel so lucky to have made - even if I don't know you that well, I still feel a strong connection :)
B. and I are both motivated to work out and he is quickly becoming my workout buddy! We ran 7 miles together yesterday and then I came home and grabbed our dog, Ajax, for the final 2.5-3. Mr. Ajax, as I like to call him, has no concept of pace. I swear we were running faster than I ran in the 5K; in fact, I know we were. He was pulling me along - his big ears were flopping in the breeze and his stride was hoppy and fast. I am obsessed with my dog - I just think he is so wonderful and so amazing! (he slept like a rock last night!).
Anyway, I have a TON to prepare for as I am about to begin another semester. I start teaching on Monday - 24 freshman! HELP ME! I am scared to death. I am also taking 2-3 classes (I might drop one because I do not want to overwhelm myself with too many classes and too many students). I am also the new committee chair of events/communications for Young Democrats (one of the Chicago branches) and I am working out of our Alderman's office a few days/week to produce a community newspaper. I just hope I have time to run!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
