Skirt Runner
Kristin, I have to wonder if your work transition might be contributing to running stress. Life/emotions DEFINITELY affect my running for sure--I tighten up and my asthma gets bad and allll my runs get slow when I'm super-stressed. So weird. I hope you're able to transition out of this with maximum happiness. And you know, you can keep in touch with some of the kids, right? like send them things--I try to do that with my students, but it's always hard to keep up.
I think you are definitely right. I have had a lot of anxiety about the transition and a ton of mixed emotions. I have been way more stressed lately as a result. Unfortunately I can't really keep in touch with my kiddos.... they are mostly 3-5 years old and many are severely autistic and non-verbal. I do have kids in one class who is higher functioning though who told their teacher they want to write me a letter on Monday. I hope they do!!!

AWESOME! Did you guys talk at all?
Yeah, we talked a bit until some other people came by. He asked how long I had ran for. I told him I'd see him during the Grandma's HM. I used the training plan he put together for the Fargo HM I'm running tomorrow. He appreciated that. I mentioned that I may run his race this fall, while I'm training for my first marathon (his is a HM). He said it's set 5 weeks prior and it would be perfect.
Dick does have a running "Legend" come and speak at the dinner the night before his race. He said that he's almost got Bill Rogers lined up to be this years' guest. Hmmm... maybe I should go?

Yesterday was 10.2 with 20min near HM pace, overall sub GMP. Today, just 5.1 regeneration. There were a bunch of tri people running and it was funny how many were on the wrong side of the road as non-vehicles .
