Today, on my lunch hour, I walked my 3 mile work loop on the bike path. Took me about an hour. Felt good to move my legs.
That is all. :-)

Still not running...
Still not running. I don't even remember the last time I ran. Definitely well before we went on vacation which was about a month.
So, the job situation has leveled out a bit. A bunch of shit hit the fan when people found out I was being laid off. People who rely on me and my archival expertise on their projects went to bat for me and now I am back at work. I have full time, at my same salary, for 6 months for sure. That gets me through the end of March. It gives me time to get lots of things done, prepare the collections for the next archivist, and apply for better, more secure jobs.
My mother arrives for knee surgery #2 on September 4th. I'm excited for her! I am hoping having that time off will allow me to get back on track with some running or at least walking.
I'm quite bummed that I won't be prepared to run the Bear Chase Trail Race. I am quite disappointed in myself. Why can't I do this? Why can't I get and stay motivated? I just don't know what to do anymore. It's pissing me off that I am letting all of this other crap get in the way of my own health and happiness. Aarrggh!
I need.... something.... not sure what.

Well...it was fun.
Since my last post I've missed several runs for various reasons, went on vacation, where I didn't work out at all, and am now recovering from a 4 day cold (sore throat, fever, cough, congestion, etc.). The Georgetown to Idaho Springs half is this weekend. I won't be participating. Again. And to top it all off, I learned last Friday that I'm being laid off. It's just been a crappy, crappy last few days. The next race that I'm registered for is the Bear Chase Trail Half on September 30th (my official last day of work.) I'm not sure I'll have time to recover enough to train for it. We'll see. The trail half is my last goal for the year. There's another I could do in November if I still want to meet my goal. We'll see. It's sort of difficult to look too far ahead right now. :-/
