If you're going through hell, keep going. -Winston Churchill
I Love this quote! What wise words to live by.
Adam is currently working 2 jobs. One is a graveyard shift. Although we're grateful to HAVE the job, it has not been fun. I worked graveyard for 9 years, but I was in my 20's. It's a lot harder in your 30's. We also haven't seen each other much. That's the worst part. He works from 10pm to 6am Sunday-Thursday nights. He sleeps for 5 hours (if he's lucky) and goes to job #2 for about 4 hours. He tries to NOT work on Fridays. I don't normally work Fridays, so when all goes as planned, we have the day together. For some reason, this doesn't work out nearly often enough.
When I'm in Adam's arms, everything is right in the world. When see the beautiful young women my baby girls have become, I remember why we do this. I just miss him.
I've been running a lot to get ready for my marathon. I LOVE to run. It's the only other place I find peace. However, training for a marathon takes so much time. My long run days have been 3 to 5 hours. That's a long time to be away when my family is home. I hope to run for the rest of my life. It will just be nice to Run-4-Fun again. I want to do a few 1/2 marathons next year. They are a lot easier to train for.
MARATHON COUNT DOWN: 6 Days!
I feel ready! But now I'm having Marathon nightmares. Last night I dreamed I was 5 or 6 miles into it, and I stopped to stretch, and fell asleep. I have 6 hours to finish the marathon, the gives me until 1pm. In the dream, I woke up at 4:30pm. I was devastated! I've worked so long and hard for this. All I want to do is FINISH! Have any of my fellow runners experienced MARATHON NIGHTMARES?
