July already?

Where did June go??? Can't believe it's already July!

Just a few updates... still on the job hunt, still nothing promising so far. This is frustrating and it sucks, but I guess I have to keep at it until I find something... I need money to support my running habit!

I've had a few good runs this week and everything seems to be recovered nicely from Rock N Roll. I also did an open water swim practice in Lake Washington on Wednesday. I was afraid the water would be cold (I don't have a wetsuit yet), but it was super warm! It was quite windy, so there were lots of waves, but I thought that was fun. I did the half mile distance with no problem at all, and actually kinda wanted to go back out when we were done.

It's funny, when Mom first had the idea of signing up for the Danskin, I didn't really want to - I was sort of thinking "why tri? I just want to run... but I guess I'll do it with her just to make her happy". But after a few swim practices, I'm thinking that it's been really fun so far, and though I'll stick with Mom at Danskin, I might like to try another tri and actually race it! I suppose I should get on the bike riding part... that's my least favorite and so I haven't done much with it!

The paralegal program has been going really well so far - I was sort of worried that it would be really hard, or really boring, or that I'm not smart enough to be in the legal field, but so far it's been really interesting and I'm doing well. Hopefully that keeps up for the rest of the program!

I've also applied to be a volunteer at CASA, to assist guardian ad litems in helping abused and neglected children through the legal system - it should be fun, rewarding, and also good legal experience for a resume!

As for the 4th, a few of us are going to Emerald Downs tonight for the races and fireworks, and Lake Union fireworks tomorrow, and then on Sunday it's back to the Burke-Gilman for long run time!
