order

Since the race last Saturday, I've taken a break from running in order to get my life in order, something that is arguably equally as important.

First off, last week I quit my job at the Maine Golf and Tennis Academy. It's the first job I've ever quit, and I didn't quite do it as gracefully as I had originally planned. I didn't imagine so many tears or hurt feelings, but what's done is done and I don't have to go back there ever again! I've been applying to a few jobs here and there, but between the summer classes I'm taking, and working at the gym, I'll be busy enough.

I've also been car shopping with Daddy, meaning our evenings have been consumed by craigslist and test drives. We bought one last night, a 2006 light blue Honda Civic and I'm so excited for my new car! I'm actually currently sitting at the Volkswagen dealership in Waterville, having the oil changed in the Passat so whoever buys it won't have to take care of that for awhile. Who knew that dealerships have free WiFi? Props to whoever made that call, because this is the perfect time to update!

Anyways, I plan to end my running sabbatical tomorrow morning. My goal for the week is to find running buddies, not focusing on distance or pace. Briana and I went for a jog last weekend, and I feel like she would be game for a few runs this week. I'm also attempting to recruit Nate, but I'm finding that it is harder than I expected to find a running partner!
