1. it's always a more fun Girls on the Run practice when the Hornets show up
2. study fuel with the roommates: beet & brussels sprouts pizza
3. getting ready for Mike's visit!

another good week has come & gone! highlights included seeing John Ayers speak at Tulane-- he was so interesting, not to mention warm and happy to meet me. it was so great to finally make that connection. he has a lot of interesting ideas about revamping the school system here-- some of those ideas are in light with public health principles, some were not, but it was great to hear his perspective.

another highlight was the Girls on the Run midseason coaches' dinner. it was great to chat with the other coaches and talk about GOTR's role in New Orleans. the program is run (no pun intended) a bit differently here in New Orleans than it is in Portland, with more of a focus on getting families involved and passing on the lessons from practice to a wider circle. it was valuable to hear about how responsive the program has been to the unique needs in this community-- i just can't say enough good things about the program. also my co-workers at Lululemon have been super supportive, and they'll be running the 5K with my girls, which is really exciting.

i'm off to do in-store yoga at my work, work the rest of the day, and then it's soccer tonight! hope y'all are having a good weekend.
