Something went wrong- new post

The boss announced he is going to Dartmouth in August or so and now I am in limbo not knowing what my life is going to bring. Talked with a friend yesterday about how we wish we could go back to being okay with that, but I don't like limbo.

I have realized that I do like my job but it is not my own. I sort of wish I could be my own boss and take with me the knowledge and skills I have developed. As it is right now all my skills from the last few years might be done with. Again, limbo.

Casually interviewed with a new hire and she really wants to hire me. Weird. No one has ever been excited to hire me. Anyway, she only has enough work for part time and no lab. Mostly administrative. Science administrative but no lab work. This may be a good thing in the long run (I could get pregnant any time here) since the part time with benefits and flexibility is perfect.

Anyway, currently, I have realized how uninvested I plan to be in my current job for the next couple of months. For example, left at 3:15 yesterday for a Chiro appointment and sat in Norma tech boots for an hour. If nothing else it was nice to sit and read a magazine  for an hour. Forced recovery. Bottom line- I want my priorities to be training these next couple of months and racing fast. I am excited for this opportunity! Please see other post for race list.


Training this week was good. You wrote it very well! PT sessions fit in without feeling stressed. Here is a list of what I remember.
1   Saturday swim was fun. Ran into Dylan and he gave me some pointers.
2   Practiced my nutrition on the run. Stomach training for more calories and caffeine. I did learn something at camp. Probably ran the back half faster than you told me.

3  stripped down 2x in a puddle after getting caught in the rain
4 had a very pleasant but hard ride on Monday. Saw a great gray owl. Lots of climbing.
5 did 2x miles on the track. Both under 7. Feeling good about running. No Achilles or plantar pain. Last year at this time I could barely walk.

Schedule
Work- small experiments next Tuesday and Thursday. Not huge but will probably take the day to get finished.

Other- here this weekend with no visitors. Yeah! I think Erik is even going to be gone on Saturday night.
