Weeks 6 & 7

I caught my motivation and have been working out regularly.  Sometimes I think that is the one thing keeping me grounded and sane.  I feel work is getting easier and a little more predictable.  There are still loads of challenges.  I am tired of taking classes.  It is painfully unmotivating taking a course after you already walked and went through the graduation process.  I have three more weeks but it feels like ten!  Rob was out of the country for a week and we actually did really well while he was gone.

 It was probably the first time we did as well as we did.  Then he was home for a few days and then left with Kara to St. Louis.  This is the second time in less than a year he has done going away for a long time, home for a few days, and then going away again.  The second transition back home always is harder.  I was off emotionally a good part of yesterday and feeling out of sorts.  I feel a little depleted.

Our dear friends might be moving away and we should know by next week.  If I had to guess, I would say we will be saying good-bye to them at the end of the school year.  However, we don't know for sure. I had a dream about that very thing last night and we walked about everyone will be crying at graduation.  The dream was so clear then I had to piece reality in my mind when I woke up and it took a few extra seconds.

 I know we will remain friends.  Hey friends are the friends forever if the Lord's the Lord of them...ha ha.  We all learned that in 1987.  I know in their denomination they tend to move around a lot and we would have to let them go one day.  Honestly I had hoped selfishly we would be the ones to move first.  Or we would both move the same summer to the same place.  My reason being not because I want to move, but because I have a hard time letting go of people.

So that is where I am at right now...

For Week 6 which was the week Rob was gone I ran at the track on that Sunday (the 27th) in the afternoon.  I was going to run on Monday but I slept until 7 AM.  I woke up to Hailey asking, "Mom are you getting up?"  Mondays are still so hard for me.  On Tuesday I ran 4 miles.  I did go to swimming on Wednesday.  I even made it to Ride on Thursday and again was very bored.  Rob came home Halloween night.  I did weights and ran 3 miles on the treadmill after work on Friday.  Saturday I ran 9 miles and it was very beautiful out.

This past week I ran at the track on Sunday morning.  I again slept until 7 AM on Monday and forwent any plans to any sort of exercise.  On Tuesday I ran four miles and I think I was supposed to run 4.5...oh well.  On Wednesday I swam.  On Thursday I went to ride and had to leave early to bring Rob and Kara to the shuttle.  On Friday I ran an amazing six miles in the morning.  On Saturday I did weights and ran three miles though I think I was supposed to do four.

The training is going super well.  My pace is faster.  I need to keep up with my PT though and also make sure I am not oversleeping on the weekends.
