July Plans and Busy Life
As some of you may know, I started a full-time position in May as a Credit Analyst. This has meant that my life is suddenly extremely busy but it also means that my life has a lot more structure. I've now planned all of my weekends for July and I'm really excited!
On the 7th of July, I am off to Ireland to complete my 8th Tough Mudder. I will be leaving straight from work (4pm) and heading to the airport to fly into Dublin. I will then be running on the Saturday and volunteering on the Sunday to return home in the evening. I will then be up and ready for an 8am start at work on Monday.
