Full Plate


I would have to say I excel at taking on too many things at once. Kate Middleton has quit her full time job to spend all her time planning her wedding. Me? Hey why don't I take on a whole side job while also planning a wedding. Why not?

So if I am not writing in painstaking detail about every run and every workout - it is because I probably am busy getting confused what day of the week. Oh yeah, an
d also probably because I have not been working out that much.

Dear Mother Nature,
Enough of this winter business. I am cold.

What is this side job I have taken on? Assistant Coach for Team Challenge! I know only a crazy person would say yes to all this extra work at the EXACT same time they get engaged, but that just proves I'm crazy (In case there was any doubt). I couldn't help it. I love running, and I love being involved with Team Challenge. I have gone from participant, to mentor, and now I am moving on up the ladder. I am so excited to be able to work with first time runners or people taking on the 13.1 for the first time, and I am also excited to see what new things experienced runners will be able to teach me.

First time half marathon finishers!!



Oh yea, and on top of all THAT I am taking my RRCA coaching certification in April. It is going to be one CRAZY year, that's for sure.



cute - but we are NOT getting married in front of a giant boat painting.

What a wonderful thing you are doing for first time runners-- it helped me tremendously to have a mentor when I first started. Best wishes as you live out this "crazy year"!

@Allison yes we are at the Mystic Seaport. It is such a beautiful location, but not very "us".

Congrats on the Team Challenge coaching job! It does take time, but few things are as rewarding. You're going to love it.
