Good time on the run, mate! Exercise is a wonderful way to help with attitude, though WOW is it hard to get motivated sometimes (ironically, this--trying to get my depressed spouse to exercise in order to improve her mood--is one of the items quoted by her for reasons to leave as I was "controlling", ack).
But good on you for continuing to run. That'll pay big benefits. GOOD job on the speech, I think--you're clear that you're supportive and welcoming but that you can't do it alone (I still haven't managed to make this point to my W, who says "it is up to you to fix everything", ack).
TOUGH going on a trip with her AND OM. Wow. Maybe I missed it--what forced you into that? I would think that'd be really difficult to deal with...
