Week 2 went pretty well. 25 miles for the week with a 9 mile long run. Easy peasy.
The announcement...I just accepted a new job in Columbus, Ohio. A good 4 hours from where I am now. Moving blows. Not just the physical get-our-stuff-from-here-to-there. But the getting the kids into a new school, finding new doctors/dentist/hair salon. Learning my way in a new, bigger city. Learning a new job with a new company.
This is something my husband and I have wanted for awhile now...finally the universe decided to line up and give it to us. Now, one of the cool things is that I'll be on my own, sans husband and kids for about 2 1/2 months (no, honey, I'm not saying I'm glad to be away from you). I'll be doing a huge amount of miles during this time, while not feeling guilty about taking time away from my family, because I'll be away from them anyway. By the time they move, I'll actually be on taper. And I can explore my new town on foot, which is always fun. And I have some imaginary running friends there, so I won't be doing all of my training all alone.
Right now, I'm trying to focus on the good parts, so I don't get all frustrated and riddled with anxiety. Because really, what kind of idiot makes a giant move while training for the biggest race of her life???
