"It is a mistake to try to look too far ahead. The chain of destiny can only be grasped one link at a time."
– Winston Churchill
This describes how I am feeling the last month. It has been a while since I last visited my blog. I know when I started my intentions were good, but time is such a precious thing and one thing that I lack.
Plans have been underway and decisions are being made about the sale of our home, where will we live? Are we going to find a home? Are we going to build a home? If we build, where will we be? And where will we live until it is built? I have so much to pack and so many unanswered questions that I feel as if I am in a constant whirlwind just trying to find the calm. But, as those of you that read this know me, I do like chaos to a certain degree, just not with this much uncertainty. My family and friends have been great supporters and I thank them for that. It has been such a rollercoaster of emotions from one day to the next. Then added into all that are the classes I am taking. My Monday and Tuesday nights I spend in class to 8 and 9 o'clock PM respectively. The other days are often filled with either football or soccer or studying for my third class that I am enrolled in on-line. This 9 credit workload is tough, but I will make it through. In between figuring out our current residence and the 9 credits, I am of course trying to start packing. This has been a huge chore but I find that it is often a nice break from homework for once. I guess there is one positive way to look at it! As Churchill said, one link at a time!
Running of course has been on the back burner for the most part. I have not had very much mileage lately although I did run the Dick Beardsley half marathon this past Saturday. It was not the best race I ran that is for sure but I did surprise myself with the time that I was able to complete it in. The 3 H's are what really killed me the most above training I believe. The Heat, Humidity, and Hills! Nonetheless I survived and am hoping to do the Fargo mini next month. I'm trying to recruit one of my friends, yeah, you know who you are! I hope she will run with me!
I am now ready to enjoy the best running weather and it is what I have been waiting for!
Until next time...
