Hola, amoebas! (Ok, sorry, I solemnly swear to never make a dorky science joke again…
)
How are you today?? I am great for 5 reasons!
Reason #1: For those of you who were concerned, my baby Geno made it through his big surgery in mint condition. Thanks for wishing him well!
Reason #2: Remember when I told you about the job interview I went on? Well, I finally found out today that I got the job! Assistant swim coach position, here I come!
Reason #3: I did an amazing interval workout today. I definitely think I am getting the exercise love back after last week. I consider the transformation “How Nikki Got Her Groove Back”. Here’s the workout:
- 10 minute jog – 6.5
- Intervals x 10
- 1 minute walk – 4.5
- 2 minute run – 7.0
- Intervals x 2
- 1 minute walk – 4.5
- 4 minute jog – 6.3
- Intervals x 5
- 1 minute walk – 4.5
- 1 minute run – 7.1 (and 8.0 on the last one
)
I cooled down with a five minute walk, and all in all it was 6.5 miles. I’ll say I am quickly getting back into things.
Reason #4: I am headed to see the lovey this weekend. It was a game time decision because I wanted to see how my precious kitty was holding up. But he is back in attack mode and seems to be in tip-top shape, so off to York I go. I am excited to see my boo, and we have a movie date to attend to as well. I just LOVE going to see movies in the theater! And, the BF loves birds and read the book that this movie is based on…so I am pretty sure he is pumped, too!
Reason #5: THE SUN IS SHINING!!!! See ya, rain!
Well, it’s time to pack up and hit the road. I am pumped because my Daddy got me a new stereo and it hooks up to my Ipod. YAY! Time flies when there’s good music to be heard!
Have a good weekend, loves!
What are your plans for the weekend?
What has made you smile today?
Life After Swimming 
II love your reasons!!! Have a good weekend!
Hope you’re enjoying your trip!
Honestly, the thing that made me smile today was my afternoon tall soy misto with a pump of pumpkin! Kind of pathetic but kind of wonderful haha.
Sounds like a good reason to smile to me! 🙂
ok. I must be reading your blog in reverse, didnt know about the kitty’s surgery- but glad he is doing well!
How was the movie? I have seen previews and was wondering if it was good or not.
And FINALLY. CONGRATS ON THE JOB! (seriously that is like my dream job. I would love to be a swim coach! what kind of ?s did they ask u in the interview?)
Thank you dear! The movie was really good! And as for the swim coach position, they asked me about my swimming experience, how I would deal with parents if they were upset, and how I would differentiated my practices to allow for students with less swimming ability to still get a workout on their own level. Nothing too challenging. It seems like it will be a great experience though! 🙂
Oh Geno totally still looks the part of a stud muffin 😀
P.S. CONGRATULATIONS on the job too! (I was totally distracted by the cuteness the kitty oozes) That’s great! I’m so happy for you!!
Hehe, thanks! He is a big cutie pie!
Aw 🙂 That’s awesome that you’re going to have some quality time with your man this weekend. Honestly, that’s what Will & I will be trying to do as well– We’ve just been so busy lately!
I know…business makes it so hard!!!
Congrats on the coaching job. Always great to “work” at something you love.
Thank you! 🙂 I am pretty exciting!
Congrats on the job, that’s awesome!!! And good workout 🙂 Have fun this weekend! We’ve got my hubby’s hockey games last night and tonight, just got back from a good workout at the gym, and have long runs tomorrow!
I need your motivation! My work-out mojo is lacking again!!!
How was the movie? The preview looked so good! This weekend is actually my birthday weekend so we’re celebrating and today I had a surprise visit from my aunt and cousin that really made me smile. Enjoy the time with the BF!
We really enjoyed the movie!!! And HAPPY BIRTHDAY! 🙂
