I'm the girl that ran all the time last summer. I don't know what happened to that girl. Sidelined by numerous things that have seemingly been resolved, there's just this huge hurdle to get over. I am not happy in one area of my life. Everything is fantastic in my own personal world.. B, Nora, friends, what family I have. I've been becoming increasingly unhappy with my career. There are many reasons for it and I am not in a good position right now. I'm at a huge loss salary (100% commission) wise, and with the economy, I'm struggling big time. My car lease is up at the end of August, and I won't be able to afford a new car. In fact, as it stands now, I won't have a second pay check next month. I'm beyond worried, and I'm trying to get another job. I'm waiting to see if I can get hired on as a bartender on the weekends at a little winery one city over. I'm even looking to make a complete change. The economy is just so tough right now, and my college education is non-existent. I'm trying to keep my head on straight, but the stress is eating me alive.
I'm doing my best to keep active. I had to take 2 days off of work 2 weeks ago before I walked away with out a job. B and I ran 3 out of our the 4 days together. That Sunday, he ran 4.5 miles with me. We went for a run later that next week, and something happened with my legs. They turned to complete jello and I couldn't finish! I was laughing so hard because I looked like I was drunk walking back to the car. I ran today for 3 miles and boy was it hot! I do believe it was this time last year that we had switched our runs to the morning.
I'm not going to give up running. I didn't make it to the half marathon in Cleveland due to some financial issues. I fully intent on participating in the Towpath Half Marathon on Oct 11. I will not have a repeat of the kidney stone bull shit that kept me down for so long!
I'm sorry for bitching and complaining, but I had to get this all off my chest. Maybe putting this out there will help something good come my way. I just need to figure something out!
Thank you all for listening! I promise, it's back to running next time!
