PR and Reflection

So much to do.. so little summer! Boy its nice out... but I have a hard time reading on the deck in the BRIGHT SUN. Too bad I guess Ill have to work from inside.

This weekend was great fun! Did allittle saw sharpening with Grandma's Marathon... running myself the half in 2:12 which is my PR (personal best--whoo hoo) plus being there and cheering on my group of running girlfreinds as they completed their first marathon in a fabulous time of 4:43!!

I was thinking a lot (because I didn't have anyone to talk to...) about how far I have come as a teacher in my short 9 years and I decided to celebrate myself (for once) and allow in the thinking of I am doing a damn fine job. Surely there are things that are not perfect... and surely their will continue to be bumps along the way but this community has allowed me the opportnity to see my profession and self with a new lens. We have a lot of work to do, but honestly I don't mind spending some time focusing on becoming a better teacher and working on my AR and BD and PC. They are very meaningful and useful assignments. Time to get back at it!

Reflection over,
Zhukov OUT!
