OMG it's real! It's serious! We are moving overseas and will be leaving the USA for Abu Dhabi on Wednesday September 25th! I still can't believe it! It seems amazing that all this time that we've been waiting finally has a date on it and we will be heading out to start a different kind of life. I used to think of every move as a new life and starting over but I'm finding that you never really leave the old life you only add to it. And in this case B and I will be adding to our experiences. I'm excited - she's nervous but I know it'll work out - one way or another!
And now on to Half Marathon weekend - which by the way I had no business running! I was not trained, I had given up due to the job stuff and now I can say I completed it in 2:22 - not my best time but it's done and I ran it. I completed it...and now I need to get my act together as I feel better when I run and can continue to grow my goals and determination. Detroit did a GREAT job for their first Women's Half and 5k! It was incredibly impressive and well organized. That cannot be said for other races but this one it definitely can be. I did get my first flower (B bought it - no seriously - she paid for it!) And I bought her her first flower - of course now I need to get her a flower in training/blossom shirt. But all in good time! I do need to thank my daughter and my friends - Juls and Katie who got up EARLY to come cheer me on during my run! They were amazing and I am so grateful! I really can't believe I finished it but now I have a new goal as there is a half marathon in Februaryish in Abu Dhabi that I plan on running and I WILL break my 2 hour mark! That is after my blisters and toenails heal from this weekend!
