Training for a Marathon, Hoping for a Sprint

[lookin4support]

We don't cross paths at all except at the exchange of the dogs on Sunday a.m. and Tuesday p.m., so the only way I could do it would be in a pursuing way.

One thing I didn't mention from the day we divided up finances. When she was ready to leave she asked if I wanted to hear about something that was going on at her work with someone who I consider a friend. I could hear the excitement in her voice as she wanted to tell me, but as hard as it was, I told her I didn't want to talk to her about what was going on in her life or work.

Then Tuesday when she dropped off the dogs she asked if there was anything going on with me that I wanted to tell her. Again, I said no, even though I have a bunch of things I want to tell her about. I have gotten my class schedule for my new teaching job (moving from HS to Community College), I have finally been told I can keep my coaching job at my old school, and I was chief negotiator for the union at my previous job and we settled a hard fought contract on Monday night. All of those are things that I am dieing to talk to her about, but I know all that will do is allow her to keep cake-eating.

Good news is I did a 12-mile bike ride on Sunday morning before church and then did about 22 miles this morning. I am going to make it a priority to ride every day. Activity like that at the start of the day seems to make the rest of the day more productive and enjoyable.
