6:30am. I didn't get a chance to look at how many degrees it was before I left but it is now 9:30 and it is only 71 degrees. It had to be in the early 60s b/c it felt so good and there was no humidity.
I was pretty slow today but consistant. I didn't even feel like I was breathing. I definately could have pushed it a little but decided to save it. I got to wear my new spibelt and I have to say that it is a keeper. I wore it over my fuel belt and it helped to keep it in place and nothing budged the entire run. Very cool feeling.

In other news-I train new hires now. That has been pretty awesome. One because I get to train them the right way and I get to get to them early and hopefully instill that little voice in their heads that says, "Don't be a slacker, if it needs to be done just do it, have fun at work, and be respectful of co-workers" I have to say the restaurant business is a very cut throat business. I explained to the girl I was training last night that if you really want to fight over 5 bucks (and some do) then go ahead but I find that if I just go with the flow with most things I end up making more money at the end of the night. I think customers can sense desperation.
And she gave me a very nice compliment, although I think she just meant it as a general comment. When you go through the training process you train with someone for 3 days. Each day is a different person so that you can get a different perspective and find your own groove. Last night was her 2nd training day and she told me she was very nervous the night before and even told her husband this. She said that she was glad to train with me on ther second night b/c I am so mellow and laid back. I was so thrilled with this. Only b/c I hope to pass that on to my future students--that I expect a lot but no one will die if it doesn't happen. I attribute this to my many years working in the E.R. I even told her, "Food is not an emergency."
AND then (sorry this is so long but Ihad a good day!) I was opening up the restaurant and I was wearing a tank top and carrying stuff and what not and one of the prep guys (who is a much better looking version of Leonardo DiCaprio) says, "Man April you have some arms on you!" I told him to shut up and I ran away blushing and smiling. tee hee. Just makes me feel good that some one notices my arms besides me (I am becoming more diligent with my workouts)
Whew...okay enough of that...of to the tub for some relaxing and reading! |
