Chica has a job! (and other news)

Yep, some brilliant person finally decided to hire me! I'm now a part time office manager (22 hours a week, hopefully going to full time before too awfully long) in Tukwila, and I start tomorrow! Yay! I love that it's normal working hours (M-F 12-4:30), no evenings or weekends, and I get my own desk that I get to sit down at! I know that seems like a little thing, but all of my previous jobs I've had to stand for 8 hour shifts at a time!

Running related -

Job is very helpful in getting new running shoes - my current ones have almost 400 miles on them and are getting a little worn down, and I was worried about how I was going to afford new ones before Seattle next month - they are so expensive! But that's where my first paycheck will go (well, there and into much needed savings!).

As far as this week's running, I'm planning on -

Mon - Off
Tues - 4 miles + swim
Weds - 6 miles (hills)
Thurs - Swim/bike (depending on weather... so probably swim!)
Fri - 3-4 miles
Sat - 16 miles on the Seattle Marathon course
Sun - Off

Not sure what I am doing as far as Halloween, either. I have a costume in mind but haven't had too much time to go actually looking for it! I'll be glad when it's over just so the temptation of Reese's Pumpkins are off the shelves... Oy, I can't even count how many of those I've eaten already and Halloween isn't even til Saturday!

Much looking forward to heading to The Garage for some drinks/bowling/pool tomorrow night to celebrate my first day of work!
