Next weekend I will be moving to New York City. That's right, the Big Apple. The Business Capital of the World. The City That Never Sleeps. The Empire City. The Financial Hub. The Mighty Manhattan... and I'm going to be in the center of it.
I've been working for a few months to secure a position in the city. After being abroad earlier in the summer, I realized that I really did want to experience big city life for a while and see how far I could push myself with my career in public relations. I couldn't be happier to say that I've secured a position for the fall with a phenomenal firm in Union Square!
Now the tricky part is finding the place to live. Luckily I have a few couches I can crash on for a while and then it's time to sublet somewhere. I've been networking like crazy to find a location but that really doesn't work that well being all the way down here in Virginia Beach. I don't want to say yes to living with some creeper. Woof.
That being said, my mind has been on overdrive and I've been doing pretty much nothing besides figuring out my new life and trying to do well closing out work here at home. It's also been raining here at home daily and I hate the treadmill. The idea of seeing other people (or at least houses for goodness sakes) makes the runs more exciting for me. Staring at the wall in our frog (finished room over garage, in case y'all didn't know that term) or watching a tv show while running just really isn't ideal.
It does look like the rain might hold out today, though, so I plan on going on a 3-miler today when I get home. I will be pretty tired this evening I will imagine. I finally get to see my kid brother tomorrow at VMI- excitement! I can't let him know how much I've been slacking since he's been on workout overdrive since he arrived in LexVegas almost two weeks ago (even though he reads this blog... oh well).
Guess I'd better start downloading Frank Sinatra's "New York, New York" for my running list on my iPod!
