I ran a fast (for me) half-marathon Sunday. From Sunday – Thursday, I was pretty much glowing. Tuesday, I had a third interview. Yesterday, I got offered the job.

AMAZING, RIGHT?

Today, after meeting up with Cara, I was meandering down Broadway back to my end of the island, wandering in and out of stores. After losing my favorite water bottle at the gym, I decided to go for it and buy the ridiculous I <3 Running Lululemon water bottle. As the girl was ringing me up, we started chatting about running and she asked how I had started running. I told her I’d lost a bunch of weight and got bored of the gym. “How much weight?” she asked.

“50 pounds,” I said.

“50 POUNDS! Girl, I get to give away one free thing a day. And you just inspired me! Go pick out a headband!” So I went and picked out a headband, feeling pretty damn awesome.

I had left my stuff at the gym last night, so I had to go back there today to get it. As long as I was there, I figured I’d work out…but I just wasn’t feeling it all day. I walked into the gym thinking I’d do a hard 15 minutes on the StairMaster and peace out. 

I walk into the gym, and receptionist scanned my card and said, “Congratulations! You’re a champion member!” She told me to go talk to the manager, and he told me that I’d won $100 to use at the gym because I’d been a member for so long!

It’s been a good week!!!! I hope you have a weekend as great as my week.
