I got an email from marathon organizer Donna Deegan at work today. The name of the marathon is changing a little bit. It's now the "National Marathon to FINISH Breast Cancer."
I'm all fired up for the 5K tomorrow!

Girlfriends
I love my boyfriend, George. He's an amazing man and is clearly my better half. Starting this weekend, he's going to put up with seeing me everyday and night plus he recently made me an amazing website to help with my job search. (Which everyone should check out! www.strikedesigns.com/Cindy_Krenek)
But I couldn't get by with just him. Since George is so great, I know I can write this and not offend him!
My girlfriends are wonderful. Tonight I got a much needed recharge by seeing Ashley, Lee & Tara for Yogaberry. Then Lee and Tara helped me scope out dresses.
I'm blessed to have such strong, caring and interesting women in my life. I have quite a few great girlfriends around the country, most notably my best friend Stephanie in Boston. But I'm so glad to have good girlfriends who I can see every week even if coordinating our busy schedules takes some effort.
Plus some of them keep interesting medical photos on their phones that amuse me.
It's my next to last night sleeping in this apartment so I better get to bed!

Moving On...
Marathon training is on the back burner this week. We're running a 5k as our graduation from the "Getting Started" program Saturday. So this week I just have some easy walks to do. Yesterday evening I was lucky enough to take a lovely walk with Tara along the Northbank!
I'm doing double shifts all week, producing the noon and then 6. It makes for long, very busy work days. It's hectic at times but it's nice to be back to a faster pace. I do enjoy the relaxed pace of only producing the 7 p.m. But this is the last week I'll produce the 6 p.m. show at First Coast News. It's always been my favorite show to produce so I am feeling a little nostalgic about this week.
My big project of the week is packing. It somehow slipped my mind that this upcoming weekend is the last of the month. Thankfully, George had his head on straighter than I did and gently reminded me. He also called the U-Haul place to get a truck while I breathed into a paper bag at work to prevent myself from hyperventilating over the prospect of packing up my apartment in just a few days.
That is an exaggeration since George and I have already moved some of my things. We need the truck Saturday to move the big items, like my bed and dresser. Then I still have until the 31st to get everything else out and clean the place.
I worked on packing this evening and am pleased with my progress. The kitchen is almost done and that's the room that always seems to take me the longest.
When I was getting boxes out of my storage closet this weekend, George commented that he couldn't believe I save the original boxes for things. This evening, I re-packed my leopard print dishes (one of my most prized possessions) back into their original box for the the 5th time in 6 years.
In the past 8 years, I have moved 9 times. It wasn't always in between states or cities, but nonetheless, it still involved packing up my belongings in boxes every time.
I hate the actual process of packing things up, but I love moving. Some of my moves have meant big steps in my life, like moving to college or to a new job. Some have involved painful goodbyes but those have always been outweighed by the excitement over the future.
This move does come on the brink of a big turning point in my life, although they are not directly related. I have less than 4 weeks left at First Coast News and most likely in the television news business. But tonight packing my things up into boxes reminded me that the possibilities for my future are endless!
