Warmth!

Finally, the warm weather is here and hopefully, it is to stay. I am excited because I have worked hard to teach a fantastic 5th grade class all year, and now my reward: summer! I know, I know, you aren't feeling sorry for me, as it seems no one ever feels sorry for teachers, except when it has to do with salary; however, a good teacher gives of himself/herself all year long and is very deserving of those two months off. It will allow me to rest and get energized for next year's learners.

Over the summer, I am planning on spending several hours finishing up several details of the race. Many things have been started, but many things still need to finished up. Some things I plan to do are run with Quinn's Running Club a few times to promote the Relay, finalize the details of Pasta in the Park, ensure all of the trophies/awards will be ready, and answer any questions that come my way. Although fall was hectic and crazy with the race, the planning has paid off and hopefully it will be a fairly relaxed summer with planning. I have a feeling August will bring a few stresses, but I will take them as they come, or maybe they won't come!

Most of all, I plan on getting out and enjoying each and every day to it's fullest. I am going to hit the trails more, ride my bike lots, go the pool with my family, and enjoy the company of friends! I hope all of you have some relaxing plans this summer and of course, some training, especially if you are running a race in fall. Whatever it is you have planned, don't wait until tomorrow, do it today!

I read a book to my 5th graders today, during their graduation, and I thought I would share a quote from it:
"You're off to great places! Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting. So...get on your way!" ~Dr. Seuss
