Thought about going back to Newcomers, but I have been here almost 11 months...
Thought about "separated", but we are still living together and in fact just before H's business trip, we were sleeping in the same bed again (yay!)
So I stayed here, I don't know what we are doing but so far it isn't the Big D either, so here I am!
Kerry, thanks for the funny points to ponder...my FIL was a school bus driver for 20 years so I will hit him up with that one...
I am not running a full marathon yet, not for another year. Next fall, at the earliest. As my title says, it is a Marathon, not a Sprint. I need to prepare.
My next goal is a 10K (6.25 mi) in early spring. That would add 1.25 miles to my last race which was 5 miles.
Then in late spring, early summer I will run a 10 miler, then by late summer, a half-marathon.
I don't turn 35 for almost 2 years (August 2010), and my goal is to run a marathon by the time I am 35, so we have time...
In unrelated news my H has been leaving very cheerful, upbeat even, messages on our answering machine. Funny he does not call my cell phone, but calls the home phone? The last message included H using my name (imagine that, instead of "hey", it was "just calling ya, Bobbi,"...and the past 2 nights the messages ended with "I love you all"...Both nights I called him back once I got home and we had short but light, upbeat, non-pressured conversations. Feels much better...
You got a lot of criticism for your actions lately. However, it looks to me like what you did had a good effect. Your husband has been acting better over the last couple of days. Perhaps this is something that works for him.
