Boy do I have a lot to tell you guys today. But first, we have a giveaway winner to announce!
Congrats Caroline! Check your e-mail for instructions on how to redeem your free socks. 🙂
Okay, now my big news! Remember my super excited but vague Instagram post last Thursday?Well #thebestnews is that I was just hired as the assistant coach for cross country and track at MIT! Coaching is something that I have always wanted to do, and while I really enjoy the Online Coaching that I do (and will continue to do) I am truly looking forward to working in a team environment – traveling to meets on the weekends and getting to cheer my athletes on in person! 🙂
And the best part of all is that practices are at night so I can keep my current accounting job during the day while I chase my dream of being a full time coach one day!
Oh! And I entered Runner’s World Cover Model Contest! I would love to win and would really REALLY appreciate your votes! Click here to see my entry and cast your vote You can vote once a day from now until the contest closes in December!
Sunday Summary and more news are coming this afternoon, but for now I’m off to the farmer’s market with a friend! Have a great day!
How do you celebrate when you get good news? I like to celebrate with a big cone of sprinkles covered ice cream!
Who was the best coach you’ve ever had, in any sport? What made them the best!
