Goals
- Continue the Runner’s World Holiday Running Streak! I’m 11 days in and still going strong. This week will get a bit more challenging as I’m traveling to Atlantic City for work, but I’m hoping to squeeze in a run on the boardwalk to shake up my surroundings!
- Enjoy the John Mayer concert in Baltimore on Saturday! I’m THRILLED to share that I’m attending the concert courtesy of Skype Moments. They reached out because they know how much I love me some JM and asked if I’d be willing to share my concert experience on social media. Is that even a question?! More details to come after the concert!
- Get a start on Christmas shopping. I’m way behind this year!
