Hi Hi – Happy Monday! I was on a blogging roll for a couple of weeks, then it got a little quiet around here. I thought I would catch you all up:
- The Kwanzan cherry blossoms are in bloom. Aren’t they pretty? I prefer them over the Yoshino cherry blossoms. Thanks to Mandy for the Blossom 101 🙂
- Work has been crazy the past two weeks..hence the lack of blogging, replying, commenting, and running 🙁
- Why so bananas? I gave my two weeks because I HAVE A NEW JOB! Same industry/job, new company.
- Today was my first day and I learned the company reimburses employees three running races (up to $30 each) <–Ummm… awesome!
- In local news, read the cutest post today -> 90-Something Book Lovers Go On A Blind Date At Politics & Prose
I may be a little slower to respond/post the next couple of weeks…didn’t want to leave you all hanging.
CONGRATS to all the Boston Marathoners!!
Share the Love

April 19, 2016Congratulations on the new job! That’s so awesome they will reimburse some race fees- I think all jobs need to do things like that to get their workers active and out in the community 🙂

September 19, 2016It is really nice! They also have a running club…but not very active. Maybe I’ll make some suggestions soon.
