The summer is off to a busy start! Our weekends have been filled with fun times with great friends! And our weekdays filled with hard work; it is so exhausting to learn a new job!! So far the job has been great, I feel like I am finally starting to get things and I am not having to ask so many questions. One thing I love about working for Nike are the opportunities to learn about athletes. Last week they had the first viewing of a documentary that was made about Joan Benoit Samuelson, the first woman to win Olympic gold for the marathon. She came out and spoke after the movie- she is amazing. She's in her mid-fifties and still runs 80 miles a week. They also had a few other runners who are hoping to make it to the Olympics come and speak as well, Kara Goucher, Dawn Harper and David Oliver. So cool! Definitely got me inspired to run. I am actually going to be running a half marathon with a friend in just a couple weeks (we'll see how it goes, considering I've had like 4 weeks to train). This last weekend Colin ran the Seattle Rock & Roll Marathon....it was his first marathon and he did awesome! He finished in 3 hours and 35 minutes!! It is a good start to his season because in November he will be doing a Full Ironman Triathlon! He was able to get a free entry through the Prostate Cancer Foundation by raising money for it. So go to the link below and donate! ;) It will be a crazy summer of running, swimming and biking in store.
