I am slacking again! So much to update on!
I started my new job and I absolutely love it! It doesn't have all the old perks of my old job (like huge discounts on cleaning/kitchen appliances), but it has a commute that saves me appx $40 a week in gas, and 40 minutes each way in time, sooooo that alone balances out my product loss......can you tell I'm an accountant?
In other HUGE news.....I got the call on Tuesday! I will officially be running the Boston Marathon with the Mass General Pediatric Oncology team ! My cousin who is now 23, was diagnosed with leukemia when she was 5. Her dad was one of the founders of this team and I will be running in her honor and continuing the "family tradition". I have one major obstacle to overcome for this race and it is a foot injury. I ran 5 miles on Saturday and it hurt quite a bit. I went home and iced it for a couple hours, but it definitely needs to be looked at. I don't have health insurance until January 1, so I will just keep doing what Im doing and run smarter not harder until then. I have been doing lots of zero impact barre classes as a cross train and that has helped with the flexibility portion of this task at hand. But anyway I am super stoked for April 20th. I am just waiting for my fundraising information, not sure if I get it this week or next or if I have to wait until the team meeting on Dec 1. Who knows . I probably should ask more questions.
Yeah it was a lot. I am glad it is over. Trying to stay positive was the hardest part, but I do feel things happen for a reason. Just takes a while to find it sometimes.
You are forgiven! I seem to be even tardier!
Thank you. I was definitely not happy and my new job is so amazing.
Haha I was exhausted writing it! I am very glad things have calmed down since then!
Yeah things just got way more complicated after DL! I am very glad to have all that stress behind me.
Haha getting the BQ is a huge deal! I just go the charity route because I will NEVER qualify for the Marathon! I am going out with a friend who ran it last year tonight to start getting my tips in! Oh my! Had to look up Big Sur, two marathons two weeks in a row??? Oh man! I thought the Dopey was insane!
Thank you. It did work out nicely. Like I said everything happens for a reason. I am so much happier now than I was 2 months ago!
It was great seeing you and Cynthia as well! I know. It was such a smushed together weekend. Like I said I will be in FL the 20-24th so we def should get together for a meal or a park when I am there!

Wow! You've been through a lot in just a few short months. But, it does sound like you've come on out the other side and all is going well which is fantastic!

Katie, I'm finally here to catch up...please forgive me for my tardiness.
I'm sorry about the job, but I vaguely remember you not being happy. So glad you have a new one lined up and wishing you the best when you start on Monday.
And I was exhausted reading about all your back and forth for weddings, etc.
You are forgiven! I seem to be even tardier!

wow, what a month you've had since I saw you in DL!
Things do happen for a reason and though it was super stressful it sounds like it has all worked out wonderfully. So glad your cousins son is ok and that you made it to both weddings!
This is my second Boston reference today, so wierd! At a work function and a client just qualified last week. Big deal! He's missed this years registration cut off but is going to apply for 2016 and do the new crazy challenge where you do Big Sur the week after. Now THAT is crazy!
Congrats on the new job, very exciting!

The last couple months sound pretty draining! I am so sorry you lost your job but it sounds like it worked out nicely. And you have since started your new one? I hope that is going well.
It was so nice to see you in CA in August. I just wish that there was more time to spend together. We will definitely have to do some more serious planning when it comes to our next meet!
