Friday: Had my orientation for my job at Barnes & Noble and got the pay I was expecting with a wonderful career track laid out for me. Exciting! I knew with perseverance I would land a job just right for me.
Saturday: We didn't want to do anything too strenuous on our bodies, we cleaned up the garage with all the junk from our move and now bothour cars fit! For over a year that garage was just a mess and miraculously within a single day, like an epiphany, we decide to get a rack to organize the bulk Costco necessities and viola - now there's an actual, usable garage.
Sunday: Ran the OC Half Marathon with a great time. Didn't set a new PR by a minute and a half but the course was beautiful. It is cool in the morning (about 62 degrees) and tons of things to look at and admire. Started at Fashion Island and you run down PCH to Corona Del Mar. You zig-zag thru the neighborhood to the ocean and can look down on the Corona Del Mar Beach. Then we head to Newport Beach to the where the boats and yachts are parked and finally come to the entrance of the Newport Back Bay trail. Winding and turning along the trail with all the other runners was very tranquil. There is a massive hill are the end of the trail to get up to the street but by then it's mile 10 and you're finish at the OC fairgrounds in no time. The snacks we're pretty shabby. No electrolyte drinks (not even during the run) or oranges at the end. Only water, bananas, croissants, and snickers marathon bar which was very chalky. On a scale of 1-5, I give this race an overall 4 stars; dock a star for bad refreshments. I do looking forward to more runs and getting a new PR.
I admit having all this time to reflect what I want to do with my life is now crystal clear. I think the last thing I need to do is have a massive garage sale to clear some of the physical clutter that's bogging down my chi.
