Checking In!

Well, here I am again. I didn't get back to posting as soon as I thought I would - turns out there is a lot of writing in a doctoral program and consequently, I don't have many words left for my blog!

I ran Victoria Marathon on 10-10-10 and I loved it! Highly recommend, though travel to and from is long. The weather was supposed to be stormy with blowing winds and rain - and it was, but it was during the night. We had beautiful sunny skies for the race. I'm hoping to do it again next year.

I'm feeling better on all my runs, though I'm still a minute slower per mile than I was in July. Keep hoping it will come back...

School (me as student) is going really well, though it consumes all my spare time. I love it, even writing papers. I don't love the pressure of due dates, but other than that, it's all good. I can't seem to shut my mind off though - I dream about education, I wake up in the middle of the night immersed in scholarly thoughts, I think about it all the time. I guess that's good, right?

School (me as teacher) is going really well, and I love it too! It's great being back with the kids and my awesome students.

Next up: Ghost of Seattle Marathon, during Thanksgiving break, and the Ghost of Birch Bay on the first day of Christmas break. No concrete plans after that, except for my favorite - Orcas - in February.

That's it for now! I'll try to get back sooner next time...
