5K

I ran the Spectrum Health Irish Jig 5K today! It was a BLAST! 
I found Tammy right way running in to get my number, and while I was getting my number I ran into Tina. Coincidence :) After making my way through the sea of people, I got my tag on my shoe, and put the number on my shirt, and made my way back to Tammy. 
We started by running together, and Tina showed up right behind us! We all ran together for about a mile, and then our speeds changed, and after 3.1 miles, We were greeted by the finish-line. at 32.51. Not bad for my first 5K. 

Tammy I am so proud of you!!!!!

In and out and all about.

Alright, so I've been at Alexander Elementary for 3 weeks now. I know, it's been a while since I've posted anything, but then again, I'm not sure how many readers are out there.
Things I've learned in the last three weeks:
      *People are afraid of my last name!
                      ~I was introduced to the students and staff as: (Drum roll please) Ms. Emma. That 
                         was one of the things that I was actually excited about getting away from. Ugg.
      *Kids think they are slick.
                      ~This is something that I've already known, haha, but it never ceases to make me 
                         laugh.
      *I love being in  a school!!!!!

I got my pay check yesterday in the mail, and it was for only one week, but if I double it, I think I will be getting just a little more than Appletree, not to mention I'll probably be going back there for spring break, and what not to just make a little extra cash. Plus, it's true, I might, just might miss a few people from there.


In other news, I am still training for the Tri. I don't know how well it is going to go, or if I'll even complete it, but it's starting little right? 
I'm also going to be running in a 5K on the 21st. Come watch if you want! Oh yeah, I gotta sign up for that. 

I was challenged not to long ago to write a song about a velocilraptor, something awesome happening, and Grand Rapids. I succeeded in writing the song, and took it one step further and played it at open mic night! Awesome... the song was about the dino chasing me through founders fest, smelling the beer, and getting wasted!!! Hey I thought it as funny.

Peace!
