I'm back...finally!

Well, it is the second best day of the year today. It’s not my birthday. It’s not an anniversary. It’s not a holiday. It’s Girl Scout cookie delivery day! This day is ranked only behind Christmas and I can hardly contain my enthusiasm. Okay, so maybe this really isn’t the second best day of the year (who would put that above a birthday?!?) but I am in the cookie moment and loving every minute of it. This year I ordered Thin Mints (of course) Tagalongs and Lemon Chalet Cremes – I recommend all of the above.

Tonight I’m going to a workout class that I’ve started to attend regularly at my gym – also a fantastic way to end my day of binging on cookies! The class is called Total Conditioning and I can ‘Total’ly feel it for several days. The first time I went I had to use the handicap stall in the bathroom for a week so I would have some help sitting down. I go to the class twice a week (Tuesday and Saturday) and it’s without a doubt the best workout I’ve experienced since conditioning sessions in college. I’m getting excited just writing about it!

Here’s an update on my three goals:
Goal #1: Probably not gonna happen (sorry, Aaron). You’re typically supposed to train for 12 weeks before running these things and I’m already a few weeks behind. I probably won’t be out running anytime soon either – you would understand if you’ve ever experienced a Minnesota winter. J

Goal #2: I actually started studying for the GMAT, the grad school entrance exam, and took a practice exam a couple weeks ago. I was definitely not happy with my score but I have to realize once I spend time studying the materials I will do much better.

Goal #3: I SIGNED UP for the duathlon. I can’t believe I actually went through with it - now I just need to find a bike! I have some time since I won’t need to start training until early July.

Now that I’ve made it easier for everyone to access my blog, I will be writing much more often. Check back and leave comments - I love to hear from all of you! Until next time…
