The CK Daily – 1,000 Little Things
Happy Thursday!
Whew, it has been a crazy week working on the new CK website. Craig (our CEO) has a saying…” 1,000 little things”. I feel like we are at the point where there are a thousand little things left to do, but all those little things add up to some awesome big things for the site. It really is exciting to see the site come together. There will be tons of new features for all our customers, a whole new design, and all the “bells and whistles” to help me and the team manage the site more easily to bring y’all some pretty cool stuff. It is going to be awesome! Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to the site launch. If you would like to be involved in the beta launch reply and let me know.
Last weekend was a weekend of “1,000 little things” for me personally too. That to-do list seems to get longer and longer every week. I cross off one thing and two more things pop up. LOL! BUT…one awesome thing from last weekend was the 5k race that I mentioned last week in my email. It was pretty cold that morning, but I think that might have helped me. I came in 1st in my age group and 3rd overall out of a little over 100 racers. I also had my best 5k time in a long time at 23:55. That was pretty cool! Now, on to training for the half-marathon on Thanksgiving Day.
I hope each of you has a great rest of the week and weekend!
