The Chicago Marathon is this Sunday and I'm not running. I will be working in the "Elite Suite" at the Chicago Hilton~taking care of all the pro runners who are coming into town for the race. SO cool!! It combines a few things that I really love...running, taking care of people, and NEVER sitting down while you work!! My "boss" for the week asked me this morning about the past jobs I've had and I briefly told him about them but emphasized what they've all had in common~running around like a chicken with your head cut off, working with team for common, creative goal. LOVE those jobs! The next 5 days I will work roughly 14 hours per day. I will run to get what needs to be gotten. I will greet these athletics and welcome them to this amazing city and thank them for coming. I will meet their managers and coaches and work with them to make sure their athletics have what they need. I will hang out with my team after hours and drink beer. Friday and Saturday night I will work SO many hours that I will sleep in hotel and get to reminisce in the wee hours with one of my best friends about our long days. I will miss my kids. I will for 5 days be a person and not a mother...answering grown up questions and acting very mature (I'll try). I will drive a golf cart, taking the athletics back to hotel~NOT crashing...how embarrassing would that be?! The weather looks great (for us, not the runners) and I'm looking forward to this almost as much as I looked forward to running last year!
So have a great weekend friends and runners!! Look for me on the finish line!
