Just Paying a Visit

Last week I walked passed our lobby and saw this lovely, shiny piece of metal being admired and photographed:

You guessed it - THE Stanley Cup. Live. In the flesh. I still can't quite figure out what it was doing in our office. Something along the lines of promoting the NHL playoffs, perhaps? Whatever the reason, I just had to provide evidence that I did see it with my very own eyes. And this provides infinite bragging rights to my hockey-loving brother, Josh.

A Lovely Day for a Run

Last Saturday, a bunch of my friends and I headed down to the Jersey Shore (aka beach for all you west coasters) to run a 26.2-mile relay race for the Special Olympics. So I can technically say that I ran in an marathon last weekend!

The Jersey Shore (Seaside Heights)

It started out early with leaving the city around 5:30am to make it to the start line, but it was well worth it. The weather turned out just lovely for us - mostly sunny with a few clouds and just a little bit chilly.

We had a fun team - even matching pink and grey wrist bands. (Emily, Tyler, Jane G., me, Kim)

Tyler came up all the way from DC to join our team. What team spirit he had with all his pink!

Of course, we had to top off the day with a stop at the Cheesecake Factory and Target since we had a car to carry everything home. Sometimes suburbia is so nice! (no photos, sorry)
