The times, they are changing...

Sorry it's been a while since I've updated.

(Who am I talking to? The only people who read this are ones who already know what's been going on.)

I got laid off from the job from hell. I found a new one extremely quickly: normal hours, 1 mile from home, still in the industry that I love, better pay. I still get my seperation package and bonus from last year. Believe me, I am counting my blessings on this one, a lot of people were sending me good vibes and the universe cut me a major break.

I am still training for the half marathon on May 2. I think that after that, I will be done with distance running for a while, it has been kind of a beating. I like having a goal to work towards, though, so I will see how I feel after all is said and done. And if I survive. You hear about those people who randomly collapse and die after or during a race and I have a major fear that I will be one of them. Having a heart arrhythmia does nothing to quiet those fears, but after getting the "A-OK" from my doctor I have to assume that if it's my time, it's my time. :)

I think once this race is done I will take a break from running and go back to focusing on yoga. I am hoping that my favorite instructor will be back from maternity leave soon. It's not the same without Mary! I also need to find a strength training class again, because I am doing nothing on my own.

Once I have gotten myself into a more regular routine at this job, I will try to post more regularly.

More later!
