T-minus 12 days and counting...

I know I'm behind. For the last 8 weeks I've been living and breathing this Greece event. In 12 days it begins, and in 17 days it will be all over. Y'all think I have a glamorous job? Far from it. It's a very underappreciated and demanding job. And it's the hardest thing not to take everything personally, when you're the person running the entire show. Will it be a fabulous event? Of course. Will it be worth all the blood, sweat and tears? Probably not. At this point I just want May 28th to be here so I can finally relax.

On a much, much, much happier note, Steve starts his new job in Georgetown on Monday. Yipee! For those of you who have been there for us through this entire ordeal - thank you, thank you, thank you. :o)

April 30 was my last race - the Sallie Mae 10K in Washington. What a gorgeous it was for a run... and a fast, flat, pretty course helped too. How did I do? Well, I shaved almost 5 minutes off my time from the Monument Ave 10K, and finished in 1:07:58. Finally, I'm getting my mile pace under 11 minutes. It's my last race for now... until I can pick it up again in June, after coming back from Greece. I hope I'll at least get a run in on the beach along the Mediterranean Sea...
