Oh man, it has been a chaotic end of the summer/beginning of
the autumn. Unlike this spring, when I
was able to focus on running and racing, without too many other distractions, I
am a busy woman once again. I am now an
assistant coach for track and cross country at Augsburg College in
Minneapolis. I am having a blast; we
have a great group of student-athletes; I am not as excited about the
recruiting. In exchange for coaching, I
attend free classes at Augsburg, and I just started my first business class in
my quest for a Masters of Social Work and Masters of Business dual graduate degrees. In my Tuesday night class, Social Entrepreneurship,
I am being given $300 by the college to start my own business. And although I am sure I will appreciate the
skills I am going to learn in business school, there is no way I ever want to
have a business.
Since I got home from racing in Europe, I’ve run a couple
road miles (the GNC Liberty Mile in Pittsburgh and the Minnesota Mile in
Duluth). This weekend I am taking a
crack at the 5k road USA championship in Providence, Rhode Island. Afterwards, I will take a break from
running! My body and mind are in great
need of some time away from working out, plus I need to get my wisdom teeth
out. They are driving me crazy!
Short update, but I need to get back to the homework.
