6:30 PM - The last few days have been a whirlwind. I enjoyed the Super Bowl. Emmy came up for a couple days before her mom left for California to go see her kiddos and her granddaughter (my soon to be niece! Janey). Got a call yesterday (Monday 2/8) morning at about 8:30am from the Berkshire Arts and Technology Charter School (one of two that I applied to since graduation). They want an interview! They gave me a time and topic (Wed., 2/10 @ 830am). So I spent all yesterday typing up a lesson plan at Emma's house. See the funny thing is that in the middle of the Super Bowl we decided I should take Mary Rose's (Emma's mom) offer and move into the basement at her house. We packed up all my stuff within an hour and then I got the phone call the next day. Got here to Emma's, wrote up the lesson plan on the Bill of Rights, and then unpacked and set up my new room. I absolutely love it! It only took about 1.5 hrs to set up. Today Emm and I ran errand after errand. We hit up several grocery stores to get the food situation squared away, printed off some stuff for my interview tomorrow, and then after a yummy lunch decided we would frame my h.s., undergrad, and grad diplomas as well as my NYS teaching certification and put it in my new room! They look awesome! She is so helpful! We had an exercise date afterwards. I went jogging on the treadmill while she did the elliptical because her foot is still bothering her. With the wood stove going though it was like a sauna down there! We watched an episode of "The Office", although I had to take my shirt and glasses off after fifteen minutes because I was dying of sweat! Felt good. Her treadmill is locked at 2% grade and can't go any lower so it was a real challenge to keep up the pace. Left knee hurt for about a minute, but no pain in the hip that had the bursitis last month! Yay! Kept it around 6.5-6.6 mph, though last .33 I bumped it up to the 7.2-8.0 mph range with the last .10 miles @ 7:30 pace. A strong run, especially while blind and sweaty on the 'mill. Total Time: 37:01 Total Distance: 4.05 miles Average Pace: 9:08 |
