It’s been a while since my last post. Things have been a bit crazy mayhem lately and my training took a dip in mileage because of it.

First the good news: I got a leadership development opportunity at work to be an IT Architect.  I quickly realized the new level of responsiblity that I will have. The time commitment will impact my running schedule and I’m going to have to learn how to manage that. Rob is in this role and so it’s going to be awesome to be able to have him as an informal mentor.

The not great news is Coco got sick. She is doing better now, but it was most of the week of taking her to vet appointments and being with her to make sure she was comfortable. It’s been so nice to see her medicine working and that she is feeling like herself again. When Coco gets sick, my world stops. I really don’t care what miles I need to run, instead I hold her and comfort her any chance I can.

Then it was also my birthday last weekend. Rob had planned an amazing day for us in Chicago to celebrate, including tickets to a Cubs game. However, Coco was still not well so we stayed home with her instead and had a quiet weekend at home. Rob got me some beautiful presents!

In the midst of the craziness Rob and I still managed to keep our long runs and a few shorter workouts. I will have more running related posts and some home project items coming up.
