So much to share

First, I have been run/walking the past few days consistently. I am so proud of myself! I have put myself on a run/walk every other day plan. I have heard that running is addictive and it is! I still walk more than I run, but that is okay. I love how I feel afterwards. I feel more awake. It is a struggle to get myself out of bed and lace up my shoes, but it is all worth it! I love being able to call myself a runner.

Also, I have not read a book in over a month and that is usual. It has happened in the past and I will hopefully come out of this funk soon. Today I started reading Running with Curves.

It is motivating me to keep running and hopefully get me out of my reading rut. I have enjoyed the website by the same name. My goal with running is to be able to run/walk a 5K by October.  I can do this.

In other news, I think I submitted all of papers to apply for grad school.  I love saying grad school!  I will be going to University of Redlands, a local private university.

It is heck of expensive, but I know it has a phenomenal program. I am applying to the School of Education for the Masters of Arts in School Counseling. I don’t know when I will find out if I got accepted, but I am feeling positive. I feel it is time to take the next step in my career and this is a step in the right direction. If I get accepted, I will have no life for the nest two years. Am I okay with that?

Staying in step in taking the next step in my career, yesterday I interviewed for a TOSA position in my district. TOSA stands for Teacher On Special Assignment. This will be a position that will focus on Science. I will help teachers understand and implement the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). I will be out of the classroom and I am not sure I am okay with that. I hope to find out by the end of the week if I got the position, but the suspense is killing me. KILLING ME!

Mom has been doing really well. We went out to dinner two nights in a row. We got our toes done today. She gets tired easily, but she is surprising me.

Too bad I cannot say the same about Dad.
