1. Pittsburgh - Pittsburgh was absolutely wonderful! It was my first time in the city and it absolutely exceeded my expectations! To be honest, I expected a very industrial looking city that was kind of worn down, instead, I found a beautiful city bustling with people (and runners!) with a gorgeous river front! My mom and I went to the Pirates game on Tuesday night and had more fun than I think I've ever had at a ball game! Wednesday morning, we went to the Andy Warhol Museum which was phenomenal and then made the long journey back home. It was a great trip and I loved the city! So now I'm thinking...Pittsburgh Marathon in May???
2. Moving - I'm moving into my new apartment tomorrow! I'm really excited and can't wait to see it and spend the week decorating! While I originally thought I would have a one room studio with no oven, I've now found out that I'll have a two room apartment with a full kitchen (including an oven!). I'm also glad that I'm moving in a week earlier than I planned because I can slowly transition from being a bum for the last month to starting my job, internship and classes over the next 3 weeks...and managing to fit all of my runs in.
