As Soon As I'm Back from Italy...

"Professonal" me - working a tradeshow
this one in Atlanta, GA
So if you have been a reader of my blog and/or follow me on social media, you know that I not only run/workout on the regular, but am also a RCAA certified running coach training for Fleet Feet Sports. Well... in addition to that, I hold down a day-gig that I don't mention much as the Global Marketing Manager for a company that manufactures QC and performance testing instruments for the Textile Industry. Pretty impressive, eh? 

Anyway, one of the biggest events that I coordinate for my job is this huge, week-long trade show that takes place every 4 year in Europe. Every 4 years, it switches between Barcelona and Milan. It was in Barca last time (see my post about that awesome trip here: https://runnerdgirl.blogspot.com/2019/07/so-ive-been-slacking-again.html) so this time, it is in Milan. This will be my 2nd time going to Milan and I am greatly looking forward to it, despite all the work. 

But that said, prepping the trip has been pretty much all I have been able to focus on these days. It's a lot to coordinate, and I feel like I have let a lot of my other goals and focuses slack. I hate being in a perpetual state of - I'll worry about that as soon as I am back from Italy, or I will get back on track with XYZ as soon as I am back from Italy. This has become my mantra. I don't like this mantra. But, sigh...  as soon as I am back from Italy, I DO plan to get to work on some major goals. 

So stay tuned for that. And wish me luck in Milan. I leave this weekend (June 4th) and will be gone until June 14th. And then, just you wait, I'll be not only back, but back on track.
