Emotional roller-coster

So, the past week has just been an emotional roller-coaster. I have been exhausted, stressed, and really miss my friends in New Orleans. It is hard to leave. It is hard (in a good way) to have someone waiting for you 24/7. I am use to having a house to myself to decompress when I come home. It is hard to come home from a stressfull day and contol my mouth sometimes. I have been jumping on Jindy for small things, and I know I shouldn't. I just am tired and am use to reading my book and petting my cat, and I think it just takes some getting use to. The good news, he is sooo patient with me. I love him more and more. It is good to have a face to face conversation. To have someone to give you a hug, it is worth it, but is just taking some getting use to. The ups and downs. I am sure they will continue for a while...now if I could just get back to working out :)

All moved in

Ok, I know it has bene a while, but hey, it has been a stressful last few weeks to say the least. I moved to Houston last Saturday and have spent the whole week unpacking. Fun, fun. I love the new house though. And, in reality, it is coming together nicely. I have most of the boxes unpacked and most of the pictures up. I am just too anal to let things sit around...imagine that. Now, the fun part is trying to get back to training. I haven't done much in about 2 weeks. There NO WAY I am going to be ready for the Nashville marathon, but oh well. I wasn't ready for Houston either (since I didn't decide to run the full marathon until mile 9) and did ok, so surely I can do ok here also. Then, there is this whole issue about the half in Orlando. There is NO WAY I am going to be close to ready for that either. I think I am just going to have to accept that this may not be the best year. I am just going to have fun and enjoy it, who really cares about results. I have been thinking a lot about that lately. Being competitive vs. the fun of the training and race. I thought for a little bit I may actually want to try to be competitive, and came to the conclusion that this really is just for fun and I want to keep it that way. If something good happens, so be it, but there is more to life than this, and this next year is going to be consumed with a lot of other things. The fun of life :) Anyway, I am already missing New Orleans. Missing my friends, but at the same time, I know I will meet new people in Houston. I love my neighbors, and it is nice being near Jindy. I guess this is what life is all about.
