I’ve been trying to hold it in until I sign the actual contract next week, but I couldn’t wait any longer. 

On Friday I got offered the job I interviewed for in the DC area earlier this month!

I will be working at George Mason University and start in in late March. They have been super supportive of my Marathon and were flexible with my start date to accommodate that.  This position is a step up on the career ladder and with a slightly more academic shift (aka more of a 9-5 job as opposed to my crazy hours). 

It feels so good to be WANTED after not getting other jobs in the past. However I feel so at peace with this choice. I’m ready for this move and the timing is truly perfect. It is very bittersweet to leave my current job. I love my coworkers and students, but I am excited to move to a city and be SO MUCH CLOSER to friends and family.

Thank you so much for all your thoughts, prayers and support. I look forward to this new adventure. Where are my DC/NoVa people at?

*If you know me in real life, please keep the exciting news to yourself until I make a public announcement once it’s all 100% officially official!

I saw some beauty tips/secrets and I need to share my favorite.

I use baby wipes for EVERYTHING, but especially for taking off eye make up.

I also clean my counters, floor mats, car, carpet, etc with them. I’ve never rarely had a stain or mark that a baby wipe couldn’t eradicate.

I have a 17 miler this weekend and I’m nervous.

I’m confident in my physical ability. I mean I rocked 15 miles 2 weeks ago, but running is SO mental. I’m committing to running over 3 hours. 17 miles – I could like run to the AL/GA state line (not really, but practically). 

I need to stock up on some GUs, sleep well and “get my mind right” – a favorite quote from one of my spin instructors. 

I have 4 miles to run after work today because I didn’t run yesterday and I’m hoping to hit up my first yoga class in ages on Sunday – I blame Robin for that!

Wish me luck!
