onward
So, it's been awhile.
It's been awhile because I've been going through a lot. A summary:
Running: Obviously, the last couple of posts have shown an extreme amount of frustration. But, the bloodbath is over, and I'm weaning myself, after 5.5 weeks (because that's all I could last, instead of 8 weeks) back into running. I'm doing about 4 miles on average every three days, except I ran tonight and ran last night, and I'M SO SORE! It's sad. Well, it's sad in the amazing point of view: in February I did a 26 mile run and was happy, felt good, and was over it within 12 hours. Now, a mere 5 weeks later, I'm doing 4 mile runs and am talking myself into walking down stairs. The body is simply a complete conundrum.
Work: I have resigned from my current job and accepted a new position at a very awesome arch/land arch/interior/graphic/product office extrodinaire. My first task, after learning the culture, history, and contact database, is to fill in for someone who has been there for 12 years while she is on maternity leave. Then I get to write a marketing plan. Challenge? Yes. Opportunity? HELL yes. Murky areas? Yes. Growth opportunity? Yes. Networking? Going to explode. Scared? OMG yes.
Boys: W & I keep seeing each other. There is no explanation for this other than the chemistry still exists, even after all the turmoil. I kick myself and at the same time feel like I love him. It's something I don't fully understand.
Savings: improving. All the time. I am so fortunate.
Gardening: Well, I did not get into the gardening program I wanted to be in, but have taken a few gardening classes in the meantime, and my little strip of garden is doing rather well. It's been remarkable seeing the annual plants come back, and event plants that shouldn't be annuals come back. Seed propagation has resulted in cosmos, marigolds, basil, dill, parsley, strawberries, and I think even some cauliflower to flourish. We have this purple cauliflower that is so beautiful and gorgeous it's hard to pick in the garden right now. I took some pictures; I'll try to post those sometime soon. I should add a bunch of stuff to my flickr account.
Hmm, what else.
I'm happier. That's good. And I've always lived by the motto that I need to be happy, no matter what. So it seems I'm on track.
I'll try to be more frequent. I think I'm coming out of a funk.
