Busy, busy!

Wow, it's been a few days since I've been on and A LOT has happened. My new job has taken off and I realize it's going to keep me pretty busy. I signed up for Team in Training last night so I'm officially committed to running Porland (and raising some money in the process)! I have my first 5 k tomorrow morning that has me a little nervous (not so much for the race but because my shin splits aren't getting any better, I'm going on a short run today just to see how they are doing). I"m so excited about getinng established here and it's all so exhausting...physically from working out, mentally from learning my new job, and emotionally from being seperated from my husband and step daughter. It's all for the best though and I know it's making me a stronger person, more capable of doing this marathon and being a well rounded person over all. My whole mentality seems a lot more positive and I'm excited each day as opposed to wondering what it's all for. I really feel like we made the right decision and I can't wait till the 17th for my first group run and I can't wait till the 21st to see my husband and get him out here so we can really start our new life! Well, I'm gonna go enjoy the beautiful sunshine and bust out a few miles. I'll post tomorrow after my run! Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!
