check! & check!

I DID IT! I DID IT! I finished my half marathon today. I walked more than I would have liked to (ran at least 11 miles out of the 13) but it was nearly 85 degrees when I finished so I am using heat as my excuse.  It was very fun.  I find running with 1500 other people to be so empowering...and addicting.  But for now, I am done racing like that.  I am actually going to work on getting faster and run some 5k races at a more competitive pace--and Ryan might run one or two also!

I ALSO FINISHED my thesis this weekend! I have some minor revisions to make tomorrow and send in a second draft! I am so SO so excited.  I hope to have it done for real by the end of next week.

I feel like so much has happened in the past two days! But good things--things to check off my list and move on to the next part of our lives.

Did you notice I also changed my blog name?!?! Since we are celebrating our 1st anniversary in two weeks, it is no longer "My New Life at Mrs. Glaser"...so I used a little creativity and had Just Another Crazy Idea...(JACI)!

For all my readers from home...SEE YOU THIS WEEKEND!
