3.1 and it Felt Good

Last night after work, in a freezing rain - I headed to the gym for a 3.1 mile run. I got new shoes yesterday, so it was a great way to break them in. The Brooks Dyads didn't fail me. They worked fine. The run itself was fine.

Going to the gym this time of year is always interesting. All the New Year's resolution people are there. So it cracks me up to see a line of people waiting for a treadmill. There is just something funny about people waiting in line to basically run in place. :-)

My run was filled with thoughts of work. There has been a lot of change at my store. We have a new manager, a new general manager, and soon my store will be moving to a new location. In it all is what is expected of me. In addition to being assistant manager, I am the Footwear Manager for my store. I have been asked to develop ways to improve customer service, and achieve financial goals for 2010. No small task I can assure you. so I have some challenges ahead.

I am also trying figure out my fall half marathon. Darn all these races that happen the weekend of October 10. That is the same weekend as the Chicago Marathon, and I will need to work that weekend. I need suggestions on which race to run. Thoughts?
