"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...
I am so excited to hear that maybe one small piece of the puzzle is filled in for you! It warms my heart to think of all of you living in my childhood home. Anytime you want to go over to see it just let us know and you can figure out where everything will go temporarily. Anything we can do to help you out, just let us know :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the run! I think its awesome every time you run in a race, regardless of how you do :)
