Personal:

I was a single mom. Two times over. We all survived, despite the fact that I make atrocious decisions. Then, I met a man I didn't deserve. And he loves me so much. And I love him. We lived in sin and bought a house for two years then hired a judge and officially got married(to our great delight and also the delight of our mothers), then a month later he was diagnosed with cancer. Well we survived all that and he's 100% fine now. But, we're really out of shape and really busy with kids and jobs and running just isn't my priority and there's so many other layers to all of it, but I'm running anyway. This is my failure blog now. Just to log that one run a week if I snag it.
Somehow that matters and I want that run recorded.

Total Distance

5.60

8:18 average pace. Felt pretty good, but I am really bloated and a little nauseous, I am thinking it is from the food I ate today at lunch with my friend Sarah. I turned in my two weeks notice today to the director and almost cried. He told me I could still work part time and could come back full time if I ever decided to and I always had a home there. Sniff. :( It will be a good thing for my family for sure but this job and the people I have worked with are like family, we have been through a lot together. Looks like the next few weeks will be emotional and my last day is April 29th. Then I will have to hand over my Lieutenant bars and the keys. April 29th is also my daughters 3rd birthday so we will have a celebration also! My how life changes!

At least you have running for a little bit of adrenalin replacement - I'm sure that ambulance gets crazy at times. I haven't flown in jets (my old Air Force job) in almost a year and I do miss it but running races is a good release, at least. And it's nice you can come back part-time, too. Good luck!
