I’m a bum.

I’ve been so lazy these past few weeks. I’ve barely run what I’ve planned to over the weekends and during the week… I’ve disappeared from the exercise spotlight.

I’ve been trying to wrap my head and my schedule around preparing for a new direction in my career. Currently, I’m a technology librarian who handles the website for this public library. I’m moving on to work in a K-3 school, as a Media Specialist (i.e. the School Librarian). It’s a new path, pretty scary and far from my house. We plan to move in the next year, which we would then be closer to the school I’d be working for.

With all this change, I’ve got a lot of paperwork to do. A lot of driving to get physicals, testing and other such certifications so I can work in a school. I always forget this part of a new job… the piles of paperwork and time spent running around to gather everything needed before the start.

I’ve been MIA from the gym for far too long. Luckily, with the new position I’ll be stopping at the gym on the way home from work 3x’s a week with my Mother-in-law. She is going to join the same place I belong to (the school is closer to her home & she is the school Nurse!) and we’ll stop on the way home to workout. It’ll be a great thing, because it’ll get me to go to the gym!

Tonight… I hope I can muster up these lazy bones and get them to the gym, even if it’s for a light workout.

I’ve been seriously considering eating less, so I can run less… hahaha, not going to happen! I’m 3 months away from my next Half Marathon ~ which is a very hilly and steep course… why do I sign up for this torture? :)

Hey Kate! Congratulations on your new career move! Exciting times!! Give yourself some kudos for taking it on… (instead of beating yourself up for not hitting the gym.) It sounds like this career move is setting yourself up for success in many areas of life!

Run on!
