So I worked open to close today (10-8) which will be the longest day I'll ever have to put in at this job. Yet I still had the time and energy to get in a couple easy runs and do a few things around the house. I haven't really talked about my new job on here yet so I'll take a moment to discuss it for those that don't already know. I just started as the store manager of Runner's Edge and I have to say, it's a pretty sweet gig. It's a small running retail store in Melrose, MA which is a super easy commute for me and the hours are so much better than what I was putting in at CDM. On top of that, I work with some great people and really enjoy dealing with the customers we have. Everything is so relaxed there and I never feel like it's actual work that I'm doing... I just talk to people about running and let them know what I think. This is pretty much what I've been doing for years; I've just never been paid for it before. I'm also learning a lot of new things with this job which helps expand my knowledge of the sport while also becoming better at my job. I'm really looking forward to this next year with both this new job and running and I hope I'm taking the right actions that will allow me to accomplish what I've set out to do.

Other than that, nothing too exciting ...just a (new) ordinary day for this kid. See ya tomorrow.
