Ten on Tuesday

I thought I would participate on Ten on Tuesday again this week, ENJOY! Thanks Melissa!

1. I am still bummed about my marathon being cancelled for a measly inch of snow. It had barely snowed when they cancelled it at 10:30 pm on Friday night. They could have at least waited to call it at 5 am on Saturday morning to actually see if it had snowed and stuck on the roads. They are talking about partial refunds for participants. We will see-they usually give no refunds under any circumstances.

2. The one upside of all this is there is a marathon in Raleigh on March 21st. The registration was full but my sister and I (and some of her friends) emailed them and they are going to let us register for their marathon. I am still waiting to hear about how to register.

3. It has been very hard mentally to get out there and continue running. Its going to be VERY difficult to have to go for long runs again. I have decided to backtrack and go back to week 15 of my training schedule. That means I get to run a 16, 18 and 20 mile run again....yippee.

4. I only have ONE MORE day after today (Thursday) of being a nanny!!! I am very excited!! Someone asked me today if its going to be sad leaving...the answer is no. I know that sounds bad but it is the truth. I am ready for this next step and it has been a long time coming. I prepared myself many months ago so I have already gotten over my sadness of leaving.

5. My bf, Ashley, is going on a ski trip to Salt Lake City. He leaves tomorrow and comes home late Sunday night. Its his yearly guys trip. I am glad he gets to go and I am especially glad that it is specifically a guys trip. I don't enjoy skiing so this is something he can do with the guys and doesn't have to worry about hurting my feelings! I will miss him but I know he will have a blast!!!!

6. I start my job at Duke Monday!!! Super excited and maybe a little nervous. Most importantly-I get to dress up for work again and interact with my peers. No more yelling at children who aren't mine!

7. The Amazing Race started on Sunday night. I have never watched it before but my fave couple from Big Brother 10-Jeff and Jordan- are on it and that is the only reason I am watching it this season.

8. I have been watching the Olympics and have been enjoying them. I watched Curling for the first time today-not very interesting to me but at least I know now what it is!

9. USA Hockey starts playing today at 3 pm. I am bummed I won't be able to watch it but good thing for DVR!!!

10. Today is my cat, Molly's 5th birthday. In cat years she is 40!
