Although it was tough falling asleep last night, I woke up excited to go to work today. It's been three weeks since I've seen the young preschoolers, and I was anxious to see their smiling faces. I was greeted today with hugs and pictures. Different students drew me pictures ranging from flowers, to castles to my favorite- a picture of myself, dressed as a lion with a small squeaky mouse next to me. (See below)
While I was at work, I checked my messages to find out I AM THE GRAND PRIZE winner of Arctic Ease's

I received a message in my facebook inbox that I was the Grand Prize winner! Now I have to decide between the half marathon or the full marathon. I think I am going to go for the full :) YES, THIS WILL BE MY FIRST FULL MARATHON. A few months ago, I didn't even know if I could complete a half. Now that I have finished my first half under my goal time, it's time to go for the full! Since I just completed my first half about two weeks ago, I still feel like I'm in training mode. The marathon is almost exactly two months away, so I am going to research a few training schedules to see if I can incorporate what I have ran so far into marathon mode! This is exciting news. It is a REALLY busy time for me at this moment, but I feel really excited and like good things are going to happen to me career wise and athletic wise. I will do some marathon research and share what I find :) I am headed to Yoga tonight at Yoga Shelter, but maybe I need to start running again!? ;)
