Sleeping In

Let me tell you, sleeping in has never felt so good.  I decided since I won't be running this week and I will be recovering from my race I was going to turn off my 5 AM alarm and just wake up naturally.  Yesterday was around 6-6:15 and today I slept in till almost 7!  It was nice :)

I also want to say THANK YOU for all the comments post race.  I didn't really say it before because I was having post race depression but I really did have a good race!  I enjoyed it and I really liked the beautiful scenery.  Also 4:05 is a great time and I am happy with the outcome!


Moving on, last night I was able to go to a Q&A with Tom Ford.  I am not sure if you know who he is but he is truly an amazing designer!  Very inspiring and extremely eloquent and funny. I really enjoyed what he had to say.  I wanted to come home and just design new collections all night.  There are a few things he said that I really liked. I don't remember them word for word but I will try...

Being a boss or a creative director it is important to make your employees feel good and feel comfortable so they can contribute their best work.

Also he said something about when you are looking to hire someone, think to yourself would you like to have dinner with them?  If yes then they will make a good team player and your ideas will be compatible with each other.

Hmmm what else... He loves to hear what everyone thinks then he absorbers it and comes back with his decision but he is very quick.

I really could go on and on but I will stop myself there.  I will see if I can find the interview online somewhere so you can read the whole thing if you are interested.

Oh and he is a Virgo, so am I :)




My sister Heather found this Awesome race in Vancouver sponsored by Lululemon.  Anyone going??  We are going to try and get ourselves up there.  It just sounds too good to pass up!



Anyone else get the post race blues?

  1. I would love to do that race but it's way too far away for me to get there. I get a little blue after a race but then it's usually followed by some serious motivation!

  3. I had the post race blues after my first race which I thought was odd since it was a short race. I let myself take a week of taking things easier and concentrating on having fun while running. Then I signed up for another race haha.

  4. I always get the post race blues.. I ran the Vancouver Marathon on Sunday (beautiful course.. you should definitely make it to the sea wheeze) and now I can't wait for my next race in July.
