Red letter start to the weekend

career, health and fitness, running / 4 Comments

Yesterday, I started getting back on a productive kick. I woke up and immediately knocked out my Insanity workout (review to come soon!), and then got cleaned up to go into work. Before heading to the office though, I met up with Lysa of Chopt for an interview. Chopt was one of my favorite lunchtime spots when I was down in DC, and they also have locations in NYC – so glad I didn’t have to give that up! While we’re talking about reviews to come, expect a full review of Chopt to come this week – perfect for all …

Reflections on Dreams

career, goal setting / 5 Comments

Yesterday, I spent the day skiing with coworkers… and our CEO. We had met before, when I was persistent about asking him questions about the future of our firm (say what you will about me, but I’m not afraid to speak up!), and he remembered me well. He turned out to be an excellent skier, but was one of the most vocal about not letting me go off on my own – he was adamant that we should all stick together as a team. So nice to see that kind of team commitment from the top levels! I ended up …

Skiing with the CEO!

career, travel / 2 Comments

After my not-so-great experience skiing in Chamonix, I was worried that maybe I had just become a sucky skier. After today in Park City, I can say that it is not so! My coworkers and I got a bit of a late start to the day, after having a few pints at the No Name Bar on Main Street the night before. When we finally got our rentals, got our lift tickets, and got up the lift, we were so pumped and ready to go! The most senior coworkers (including our CEO!) headed off in a group for the advanced …

Goodbye, DC

career / 7 Comments

Yesterday, I received some unexpected news: my project is being canceled, and today would be my last day in DC! In the short term, I was really upset. I was upset that I got less than 24 hours notice and therefore wouldn’t get to go back to all my favorite places or say goodbye to all my friends. In the long term, I’ll be okay though – I’m teed up for a few projects that sound really interesting, and they’re in some good cities where I’d love to stay. My project team went out for dinner and drinks last night …

Night Before the Race: National Marathon

career, running / 1 Comment

This post is about my day on Friday, 3/25. I was too consumed with getting as much sleep as possible for the race to write/post this at the end of the night! Thursday night, I dosed up on the last of my medication and then went to bed at 8:30pm. Since I was working from “home” (i.e., my hotel room) on Friday and because I was skipping my usual morning workout due to being sick, I wouldn’t have to wake up until 8am – yippee! But I still wanted as much rest as possible. I was getting really scared about …
