Where to start! I got a job about a month ago at an orthodontics office as the financial coordinator and its going great! Everyone I work with is super nice. Its not what I went to school for, but its a good job. I'm still doing as much as I can with fitness though. Right now, I'm working with Crossfit 614 (the gym I go to) to start up a Crossfit Kids with local Parks and Rec programs. I'm starting to train for Crossfit sectionals- which are in March (I think). Basically, Crossfit has a huge competition every summer which are comparable to the Olympics. Pretty much, sectionals are the first elimination round and it goes from there. I highly doubt I'll get any further than sectionals, but it should be fun anyways. Hmmm, what else has been going on. Dan is doing great in school- finals are in a couple of weeks so he's really busy studying and whatnot. He is such a hard worker! I'm so proud of him.
We had a great Thanksgiving! Dan has a cousin who lives in Cincinnati that invited us over for Thanksgiving dinner. We had a great time getting to know them better. She has such a cute family! To start the day out right, a few friends and I ran in a 5.09 mile Turkey Trot with over 4,000 other runners, I finished in 44:12. It was a lot of fun! We even won some pumpkin pies because we were some of the first 1,000 people to cross the finish line! Here's some pics!
After the race with our pies! Stephanie, me and Cossette

Look at you all runnerish! So fun!
ReplyDeleteOh Rachael, I miss you!!! It sounds like you're doing very well. My cousin got a job at a braces doctor's office (I don't know how to spell the actual name!) and she didn't go to school for that either. I think she's doing something similar to you. Funny how any job that pays will suffice!! Good for you, thought, starting a program for kids. Go Rachael Go!!!
ReplyDeleteWow! If only I had even a 1/4 of your determination! Congrats Rachael!
ReplyDeleteYou are so cute. I love your before-the-race face! :) You are so active. I feel like such a lazy bum when I read your blog. Ugh. ...and I just finished a bowl of choc pb ice cream. Again. :) Sounds like you guys are liking Ohio. And that's really cool about your new job!
ReplyDeletei wish i just finished a bowl of chocolate pb ice cream! yum! :) its great hearing from you! are you guys still planning on going the dental route?
ReplyDeleteAre you representing your Centralia High school root or is that just your holiday spirit?
ReplyDeleteWe are excited to see you guys. Maybe could you run some of your athletic ability off on my while you are here?
I would rather just eat the pie while I was running so I could have the whole thing. That would be better.....
