Things for Thursday

Thursday, July 12, 2012
So far, I'm enjoying working for Global Dynamics. While there's a been a few small hiccups in the administrivia that's always necessary when you join a new company, it's actually been pretty painless. I suspect that may change once I get my laptop and have access to the corporate network instead of using my personal e:mail and spending my time studying and training, but for now - cool beans.

I have confirmed that my company owned assets from my last gig have been safely delivered (and signed for) via FedEx. One more thing to check off the list.

Now that I've had a few days to quiet my mind and enjoy my "I don't work for my old company anymore" status, I have to say - this feels good. This kind of good:


Hehe.

I'm such an optimist. Today I signed up for the Spartyka Wounded Warrior 5K in Colorado Springs on September 22nd. I've never run in any kind of "fun run" or "race" or whatever. But I figured since my new running shoes have turned out to be such a winner, I can safely assume I'll be able to run for 45 minutes without stopping and without pain. I chose the Wounded Warrior 5K because, duh - it's the Wounded Warrior Project. I'll post a plan to collect donations in support of my run as the date approaches.

I'm signed up for the www.toughmudder.com race next summer, which supports the same cause. I think it might be my mid-life crisis or something, because I still can't believe I agreed to be in a team. :D

Yay to both you and Shawn!
I'm pretty sure that if you can run for an hour without stopping, you can do a 5K.

Now, if only I could get my knee to stop hurting so I could run myself.

I'm glad you're off to a good start!

Anne, let me know if you're able and/or want to join me. Honestly, I think you could walk the damn thing and keep apace with me...

That sounds good, actually. Something to work towards in conquering this knee pain. I'll sign up for it next month, since the rest of this month I'll be saving money for new shoes. ;)
