Hi y'all
I'm spending a lovely friday night doing laundry and getting back into the swing of things. The purpose of this blog is to break down the scary tasks i have at hand. I shall list them in no particular order: Study & Pass the following ICC (international code council) exams: Erecting {of steel framing} & Bolting - test 1, the Welding - test 2. Train and run the NYC Marathon on November 6, 2016. Organize wedding events for June 25 & August 20th.
These feel very big to me and make me panic when i am not working on something, or when there isn't a plan. So here is where i will keep my bite size tasks, and I will update it once I have completed it.
ICC EXAMS
- Review the following chapters in workbook: Chapters 3-8 by TONIGHT
- Go to second seminar tomorrow on time (8 AM, therefore get into that area by 7:30 to account for crazy traffic, therefore get out of the house by 6:30 at the latest).
- After this last seminar, by 3/18 I will choose to pick the first attempt at the actual exam. I bet I will need multiple attempts. I hope to give myself 1 month to truly study all of this, so exam #1 will be around 4/18 I am guessing
NYC Marathon
- I need to get a strong base of running 12 miles a week up to the wedding. Training for a marathon will take 12 weeks using the Hal Higdon Novice 1 training plan. I will start the training plan the week after my honeymoon, and the marathon is actually the day after Lesik's Birthday (hmmmmmmmm).
- Today I ran 3 miles run-commuting home from work.
- I will probably invest in sunglasses to run in
- i am considering investing in a "garmin' of some sort, as long as i don't bail on this marathon thing
Wedding
- Les & I will be going over wedding stuff on Sunday, so I am not worried.
OKIE DOKIE Love you & am happy to be back

Motivation
quotes from Steve Jobs TED Talk "It was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. "
"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary"
