Goals
- Less than a month of half marathon training to go! My main goal is to stick to the training plan (and get in some more strength training, if possible) to stay strong and healthy for the half marathon on November 18.
- Complete my presentation for the Social Media Tourism Symposium (#SoMeT12) in El Paso, Texas in just a few weeks! I’m doing a 30 minute session on Foodspotting and how to leverage the social network for tourism.
- Be a fantastic godmother. My goddaughter Charlotte (shameless adorable photo here) is being baptized next week and I need to do all sorts of godmother-ly things this week; order a cake, find a meaningful present for the baby, figure out what I’m wearing for the mass and party…the list goes on.
