Actually, "real life" has been very busy- my real job has gotten REAL! :) I was hired in October and trained to work for a new surgeon. She's here, and has hit the ground running. From the few weeks I've worked with her, I'm really impressed with her as both a physician and a person. It's really nice to work for a doctor that you respect, and honestly this is the first job in a long time that I haven't had that "Sunday Dread" feeling... You know- when you realize that the following day is a work day, and then you just feel like crying? Hasn't happened here yet. That's a bonus!
I also spent a long weekend babysitting my 5 month old niece. Had to sneak a quick photo session in with her:
She's gorgeous! We have had a lot of people compare her looks to Madigan at the same age. What do you think?
They could definitely pass for sisters! (My niece is my brother's daughter).
I also have been busy working out... I think I'm officially ready to announce that I signed up for my first race... a half-marathon.
It is my goal to finish it- I'm fairly sure running the entire way is out of the question! But I have a "go big" mentality with goal setting, and needed something to work for. The race is April 9th- feel free to plan on being there with hand-made signs to cheer me on!! I'm gonna need all the motivation possible... I'm using a 12 week training program so we will see how it goes. :) (Any advice from you runners is greatly appreciated!!)
That's about all I have to say for now!
Wow! A half marathon! I run three or four times a week but can't imagine training for a half. You go girl! That will be an awesome accomplishment!
ReplyDeleteOMG! Paige is soooo adorable! Your parents have a lot of good lookin' grandkids! All of them are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWay to go on the half marathon! WOW, I thought a 5K would be tough! HA! Where is it at?
WOW--so much going on!
ReplyDeleteOn the work front: I feel lucky to work for great docs. Some Sundays I still feel the "ugh" but overall, very happy, glad it's working out for you!
The pics are adorable--the second one I think she is saying "why yes, I AM adorable, thankyouverymuch."
And thirdly A HALF MARATHON!!! Woot! I've never even run one and I call myself a runner! I have serious feet issues when I train more than 10 or 11 miles at a time but I would love to do a half. You will be my inspiration! GO SARAH!
Those pictures are crazy similar! Paige and Madigan look like the same baby. And, way to go! My goal is to do a half marathon one day, too....we'll see ;)
