I just looked, and realized I only have 9 posts in September, and the month is nearly over (where did it go?) I have a bunch of post ideas floating around in my head, but can't seem to formulate any of them. I've started making a list of things that need to be done before I leave for Michigan, and its quite lengthy. I've been working my tail off to double up on visits so that some of my kids are "caught up" ahead of time. ALL of my end of the month paperwork needs to be done and filed, along with all of the normal stuff. Oh, and I need to pack too. That will probably happen Monday night since I fly out on Tuesday.
Running has...not gone well this week. After the 10 miles I did on Saturday, I took Monday as a rest day also. Tuesday I actually made it out the door, but only managed 1.5 miles (20 minutes or so). Yesterday and today I was so tired that it just didn't happen, so tomorrow is my last chance before another long Saturday run. I REALLY wish running in the evenings didn't mess with my sleep- I'm so much more awake later in the day, but it still doesn't cool down here until dark. And as much as I'd love it, a treadmill or gym membership isn't an option right now. I think I'm also just hitting a bit of a plateau with this training. The initial novelty of this whole thing has worn off, although it took longer than I expected. Now its a matter of chugging along and persevering. Just like life I guess- run and not grow weary, walk and not faint. I did get to meet my PCH honor patient last week- that was a fun time even if Dave and Buster's is basically a casino minus the possibility of winning something of value. I have a picture, but I don't know the exact releases that the families signed so I won't post it. Hopefully I'll have one soon that I can post to my firstgiving website.
