A week of frustration and opportunity

As I sit through my first big storm in Kentucky, I figure it's a good time to blog.

Not much has changed since my last post on the internship. I finished all of the bios I talked  about last time, including adding the edits that our proof reader said needed to be done. The website is up and running now (http://www.usefnetwork.com/featured/Olympics2012/rosters/eventing.aspx) so there's not much for me to do other than make sure it doesn't go offline.

This week, my only real assignment was writing a press release on Monday and Tuesday. Other than that, I once again sat around waiting for work to come my way. I'm hoping that after this week, I'll have a lot more to do with the Young Riders Championships coming to the Horse Park next week and then the Olympics starting up right after that. But we'll see.

We've also started a "fitness challenge" at work where we can go so many miles on a bike, walking, or swimming that started today and goes until August 11 (around the end of the Olympics). Because I've been looking for a motivator to work out and get in shape/healthier, I jumped on this chance and started working out today. My "goal" is three miles a day on the bike to get the gold medal but after going over 10 miles today, I think I'll be way over that. 

Plus, after the challenge is over, I should be better off since it takes three weeks to form a habit and the challenge is a little under six weeks so I should still be going at that point. I have a fitness goal that I want to reach by October so hopefully this is the right step towards that.

There's not much more to report on so Until next time,

Mel
