So.....I know it's been awhile since I posted, BUT....

I've been trying to make some important life-adjustments:

Last week, my friend KK & I went down to Rocky Point in Mexico (Puerto Peñasco). It was just a 2-day trip, but it was just what I needed! We were able to do a lot of venting to each other, on our recently failed relationships. Something about hanging out around a beach just puts things in a different perspective.  

Anyway....what else has been going on?

The MRI I had on my knee turned up NOTHING serious. Hopefully, the time off I've taken from running has helped heal the minor scarring. I say "minor" scarring, but trust me ...during the marathon the pain was MAJOR!!!

I finally put in my two-week notice at UPS!!!  Thank GOD!!! Last week I was hired as an after-school tutor at one of the local Sylvan Learning Centers. This gig should definitely free up some more time for training during the weekdays. Call me crazy, but after being chewed-up and spit out by the marathon in January... the next time Bethany sees me at a race, I want to be in TOP FORM!!!

  Like this guy!!!

I still run into BB at the gym, and things are still cool. It looks like we'll eventually go out running again, but who knows if she's open to anything else. At this point I kinda......don't care. She's a great girl, cute as hell, but something tells me that I'd be wasting my time.

Food for thought:  How is it that neither I nor my three sisters (ages 28 -34) have ever been married, had kids, or been in a relationship longer than 6 months? I used to blame my failed relationships on things like "bad timing" or "incompatibility", but I'm beginning to think that the issue is a bit deeper.

My goals for March:

Get back into "training mode"

Take my Defensive Driving course (speeding ticket)

Start saving some cash for the Vegas trip in May!!

Investigate options & create a plan to finish my Master's
