FRESH AND SPRINGY

Yesterday I ended up not buying any candy corn. It’s not because I didn’t want to, but I had to rush home so I could… you guessed it… work some more. It was such an awful day that I hope today is somewhat better. Truthfully, I have been considering a career change but am a) too scared to commit to it and b) not sure if it’s the right time. Anyways, that’s for another post.
However, I think I may need to splurge on the candy corn today to keep my sanity.
This morning was the first time I ran since our wedding day, when I went running with my maid of honor, Dayna and her sister. It was actually a lot of fun — we took a taxi to a nearby hotel and ran on their property since the place was huge.
Since we are still on Spain time (6 hours ahead), getting up early was no problem! We’ll see if I’m still saying that next week. I did my usual loop around the park and my legs were so happy. They felt light, fresh and even had a little spring in them! I think a nice long break was needed for them to re-energize. Between Ragnar and the Staten Island Half, they were feeling pretty beat up. With the Brooklyn Marathon less than a month away (eek!), I hope this feeling sticks around.
Now, for the exciting stuff — giveaway winner!

What’s the longest break you have taken from running? Have you switched careers?

Biggest and most frightening career change was when I finished at work to become a full time mum – definitely one of the hardest and demanding jobs there is!!!!! 10 years on I'm back in the work place part time now, somedays I miss it, some days I don't.
Hope you are enjoying married life!

I would say its also one of the most rewarding too!
That's great!!
You have no idea how bad I want a career change. I finally got tired of all the crap I was dealing with at work a couple of weeks ago and started to be proactive in changing it. I have applied for a couple of jobs. One position I had my 2nd interview for and I just got called yesterday to interview for a position that I really want. That interview is on Friday.
That's awesome!! Fingers crossed for you!! What industry are you in if you don't mind me asking?
I think career changes are great… I'm loving working for myself teaching piano right now. But I also miss teaching in school.
Hope it gets better or you embrace a new path!
Thanks girl!! Your piano business sounds so fun!
Do I need to bring you candy corn to work?!?! Also, do you want to work in my office? We are hiring
If you want a career change, DO IT! Otherwise you might be regretting it down the road…ya know?! If you want to chat I'm always here 
I've gone though this before!
Hahah yes!! I bought some yesterday but it wasn't fresh and it was really disappointing. I need to try it with peanuts this weekend!! Yeah that's true — we'll chat at lunch tomorrow!
