It Must Be My Week!
I had to wake up at 4 a.m. today because I need to drive up to Massachusetts to teach. When my alarm went off, I was not happy. But then when I stumbled into the bathroom to get ready and checked my email I saw this email! I smiled a little (inside). But it did make my day a little easier to start! I wasn’t sure what time the announcements were going to be sent out. Since I am teaching today I wouldn’t see my emails until breaks. I anticipated getting the news towards the end of the day. This was awesome! My birthday is Monday and I usually feel like the entire month of March is my birthday month so this email, along with the one I received to be a guest at the Disney Social Media Moms Celebration Conference are considered gifts to me.
I have begun keeping a gratitude journal after listening to Kristen Armstrong on the Another Mother Runner pod cast and this is definitely going in the journal! So as I prepare for my long day of travel and teaching, this will make it a little sweeter for me! Now I have to start looking into plans! My pal Jennifer Hall in the Mickey Milers running team recommends the Marriott in Crystal City. I am debating if I want to drive down or take the train. Part of the fun with the races is making the plans on when and how to get there. Now I wait to find out if my other friends got into the lottery as well! Since this is the 40th anniversary I wonder what special things will happen with this marathon. Now I have to work on my training plan also! Looks like some long training runs in August will be on the agenda!
Awesome! I’ll be running MCM this year as well!
