WE PROCEEDED ON

[kolja]

Kolja,
A half would be great. Have you done one before?

No, the longest I've done before is a 12K back in my home town. But, knowing I can do that (~7.5 miles) tells me that, given proper preparation, a half is well within my ability even if I AM built more like a weightlifter than a distance runner.

Also, last month we were TAD in Las Vegas when they had their marathon/half marathon. I was actually surprised at the number of folks who seemed to be doing the half very liesurely - some even looked like they may have walked the entire thing. Maybe it's just cause it was Vegas, but the fact is I saw folks who didn't seem to be in any better shape than me doing it - so I figured I could to!!

gunny,

Just checking with you. Sounds like you have some good things going on - the coed volleyball sounds great. Good for you for taking some classes as well!

A half marathon WOULD be great. I would just have to convince my body it's a good idea.

JB,
Doesnt WrightPat have a half marathon?

JB,
Doesnt WrightPat have a half marathon?

They may - it's been awhile since I lived up there. The big one here is the Flying Pig. I would have to get my bad back to cooperate, though.

Hi Gunny on my way home fromchurch went by a street called "Gunning River Rd" made me think of you. Hope you are well and have a great day on this beauty of a day.

Hey Gunny, just wanted to say Hi. Seems like you and I have somewhat boring threads since out partners have gone darker than dark. Does your W call you?

I must say, it cuts down on the stomach flip-flops.

Hi Lady,
Thanks for stopping in. I think you are right, not too much to write about, since I dont really interact much with s. Its not because we are not on good terms, but I think because we are both trying our best to detach.

I will be hearing from her sometime this week as she will be keeping me posted on the surgery for our dog, who is having a couple of tumors removed. She is very good about keeping me informed.

We will also be talking soon about tax issues and insurance issues for our vacation home which we have on the market. As you say, and I agree, its actually better that we dont talk on the phone, at this point, this early into the detachment phase, what purpose would it serve? She knows I do not a d, that I am willing to work on our r, and that I am not happy with her choice to basically get out of dodge and leave me with the cleanup. Conversations at this point would be somewhat strained and partially contrived.

How about you, the same?

[labug]

Pretty much the same, yeah. I'm coming to a new place of detachment, it seems there are levels to this. I think we have what money issues we're able to work out, worked out and now I feel it's time to go dark unless it's an emergency with the sons ...or the dog.

He responded to my last email about the house (non-committal), mail (he'll change his address) and stuff in the garage (no answer). The tone seemed different, and I know it's hard in email to gauge that but there was something about his choice of words. He did tell me he was going to be out of town over the next 2 weeks which is something he's not let me know before.

Did you have a "W, I love you and want to work on the marriage but I know you're unhappy so go do what you have to do" talks? I'm weighing that possibility in my mind. I've always contacted him about things, probably too much.

Sheesh, this whole thing is crazy.

[kolja]

I'll be interested to see what you guys decide. I have an impulse to do the same, but I've also seen in other threads where people have pointed out that if you've already told them that, they know, and saying it again is probably not going to help. Good luck with the decision, I'll be staying tuned to hear about it...
