Just Nod if You Can Hear Me.

Yes, I know.  I got laid off and I fell into the abyss.  And I apologize. 

Since February, I've spent a lot of time working out (fell in love with Zumba and hot yoga), spent some time nurturing friendships that I'd let sort of wither, and I looked for a job.  I also planned a wedding, and well, you know, enjoyed having Inspector at home.

Now the wedding is done, I've found me a job, and my friends are just as important to me as they ever were...except now maybe they know it a little.

I don't have much that's really new and exciting. 

Except this.

I am going to run a half marathon on January 9, 2010.  And I'm going to do it to try to help fight cancer.

I'm going to write more regularly again.  I feel like I can all of a sudden. 

I'm sure I'll write about being married to Inspector.   I am sure I will write about my new job.  I am likewise sure I will talk about training for those 13.1 miles, because it's the thing I am primarily jazzed about in my every day life.  It's the thing that buzzes in my brain when all is otherwise quiet.

Here's what I think about most:  Crossing the finish line.  I think about feeling satisfied and proud and tremendously exhausted.  And then I think about Jennifer, and how I would have done anything I could  to save her, but there was nothing I could do.  I'll be thinking about Jennifer when I cross the finish line.  Running this race is a way for me to make loving Jennifer an action verb again.
