Hello.
What have you been up today? I ran this morning after taking off Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday to recover from the New Jersey Half Marathon I was happy to get in 3 miles.
I wanted to run more but had a luncheon to attend and didn’t have enough time. I love, love, love when I run those first few miles after a race and feel good. Nothing hurts! Yippee! And believe it or not today is the first day that the rain stopped since Sunday!
I wore my finisher’s shirt and while I was worried the size large would be too big it was actually fine. Roomy but comfortable.
I have some big news. I am starting a new job on Monday! It’s going to be a full time, out of the house gig which means Duncan and I won’t be able to hang on the sofa together while I work. 
I’ve been freelancing for a while, mostly at home, with some temporary, on-site consulting gigs here and there so this will be a huge transition for both of us. It will also be the first time I work in New Jersey. And I’ll be in a more senior role so I won’t be able to wear my usual uniform of hoodies and jeans. I bought some dress pants and a few new tops and pulled out some non-sneakers from the back of the closet that I haven’t worn in a while.
took this new outfit for a trial run at the luncheon today
And if this sports bra chafing (from Sunday) on my chest doesn’t go away by Monday I’ll be wearing that too!
No more commuting to Manhattan. I’ll be driving to work. I’m worried that life will get a little sedentary for me so I’ve got to figure out a new plan for reaching my 10,000 steps a day and getting in some running. Luckily no distance races on my calendar until October so I’ll take it slow during this transition. We all know I am NOT a morning person.
It’s Cinco de Mayo but MORE importantly it’s Meb Kehflezghi’s birthday

and MOST importantly it’s my niece’s sweet 16th birthday!
This pic is 2 years old now but it’s my favorite! Love her!
Do you track your steps daily? Who drives to work? What do you do in the car?
