Following my 'i got myself a job' news of last week, I spent a rainy Tuesday looking for apartments close to my work by South Lake Union. And I just received news yesterday that my application passed and I get to move into my Eastlake studio mid-month! I'm finally feeling like my life is in order again, and I'm excited not to be living out of my suitcases and having 90% of my belongings in storage.
On the downside, I'll be further away from Todd and the East Lake Sammamish running trail that i've grown to love. Good news is that my apartment is about a 1/2 mile away from another popular trail in Seattle, the 27 mile long Burke Gilman trail.
This week's Thursday night dinner club was at Marrakesh. I'd never eaten Moroccan food before, but oh my, it was good...and very filling. We were all seated on cushions and dinner included two appetizers, and five duck, chicken and lamb entrees, followed by dessert and tea. Best of all, no utensils, so you eat with your hands and share with everyone at the table. Apparently they have belly dancers too, but we had an early reservation and missed out on that fun.
Taking advantage of the sunny weather yesterday, I went to Bridle Trails to do another trail run. There are three marked trails of varying distances, so i ran each trail once, for a total of 6.5 miles. I felt like the hills were easier on me than my last venture out there, so I'll just keeping working my way up to running 10 miles on those trails. It definitely takes a lot more energy out of the body than running the same distance on flat ground. uh, yeah....Duh.
I left feeling invigorated from the rigorous workout, although I'm not sure if that had anything to do with me being painfully sick later in the evening and hunched over a trash can.

Okay, so admittedly, I've been bad about reading blogs (and posting comments when I do) as of late. So, first all ... love the new look. And second of all, I want to hear how the new job is going. Spill it.
