My life has been changing a lot lately. Things last month were really stressful. Then I had to move in less than 2 weeks. Now, I am going from being a full time researcher to a full time graduate student. Wow, I feel like I've been bucked off a horse or something. Disoriented.
As of next week, I will be a full time graduate student with a part time job (where I work now, they are awesome letting me stay on). I am a creature of routine. I love doing the same thing every day on a regular schedule but that is going to completely change. I will probably struggle for the first few weeks until I establish a new routine. It should be interesting!
Oh, I also need a completely stress free place to work at home. My apartment is still a wreck! I need to work like crazy this week to get it into a more presentable condition so that I can concentrate on my schooling once it starts (Monday).
On top of all this, I have 2 half marathons coming up and a full marathon in March. I may have to accept the fact that I might walk quite a bit in the first one. We'll see. I need to fit more runs in on a more regular basis. I have been seriously struggling with getting out there lately. Thanks to a challenge for a group I'm in, we had to discuss our "matras". I posted about mine, It's Not an Option. I had sort of neglected to use it lately but not anymore! I might even most a nice print out of those words and frame it to hang in my apartment somewhere where it will motivate me to do my best!
Anyway, this is just a lot of babbling today. I have a lot of things I need to do today to get everything together for school. I guess I'm just laying all these things out there for myself. I need to remember to eat well and exercise (the eating has be terrible along with the lack of exercise). I need to make time for myself. Maybe I should schedule time for myself? I can see my calendar now: 4:30 Meeting with Bob Harper 6:00 Meeting with Nike Running Sneakers. LoL. I just need to do it!!! Because skipping is not an option here!!!

I need to get moving or I'll be right there with you walking!
Once you get your new routine set you'll feel so much better....
Good luck at school next week - we'll be at LBI for the week.... ;-)
