Life After an Across-State Move

     This has been a crazy month! Craig started work at his new job the beginning of March. I have been interviewing for jobs all month. Interview-anxiety has really driven my running this month. After every interview, I feel wired and energetic, so I go for a run.

     It has been strange trying to adjust to our new home. I did not expect to miss Pullman so much. I think what I am really missing, though, is the freedom we had while Craig was getting his PhD. I got to see Craig a lot more often! That and I miss the people I knew and the familiarity of the town. I know that after we adjust, I will be a lot more happy in Western Washington, it's just a lot of change happening at once!

     I did do a lot of happy things this month. Here is a little recap.

My Own Half-Marathon

Pre-run. Wearing a fuel belt for the first time in awhile

     I haven't been feeling to great lately. Between an across-state move and intense abdominal pain that sent me to the ER, I wasn't sure how I was going to pull-off marathon training. Good news though: this weekend I ran a half-marathon !

February Marathon Training

     

The struggle is real as I try to balance moving across state with training for a marathon. Spoiler: training gets super-derailed, but I am still holding on to the hope of running a 26.2 mile race in a couple months.
