God knows, we've all been there at some point. You've definitely been dealing with a lot, so hopefully you're giving yourself a break. <br /><br />I was very happy to read that you're still headed to VCM this month! I've run it twice and enjoyed it both times immensely. PR's are definitely awesome and we all reach hard for them, but your attitude of enjoying it and finishing is its own special PR. Not everyone can get past the initial disappointment, so good for you!!!<br /><br />Hang in there and enjoy VCM!!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956724450988998624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1325268124332278871.post-5391092204859489152013-05-09T23:02:52.707-04:002013-05-09T23:02:52.707-04:00Sometimes it takes a moment to look back and reall...Sometimes it takes a moment to look back and really assess your life to see what you think isn't affecting you to find that it is. Everyone handles life differently and if you are an overall strong person you forget you need some rest, love and renew. I completely feel what you are going through! Some days I have to list what sort of things have happened in the last 6 months and just enjoy "those" days. <br />Big Hugs and go get em!! <br />(especially for being a teacher..that is an amazing profession!)Katheehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00072994329952086277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1325268124332278871.post-80033287722015092422013-05-09T21:21:40.202-04:002013-05-09T21:21:40.202-04:00It's good to hear from you Bill.

Any day you can race a marathon is a good day, no matter what the time.<br /><br />It is very hard to concentrate on training when the job situation is in flux. I went through that in the last year when i transferred to a different group in july. So much to do! All new! But good for the brain ;)<br /><br />I think the "moving target" problem is the biggest of all. That is rough. Having a clear path to success is so important.<br /><br />I am in awe of anyone that can wrangle a bunch of kids of ANY age and manage to cram anything in to their brains 8). I can handle one-one-one but a classroom sounds pretty daunting! Kudos to you..and thank you for doing a job that is so important and so difficult.<br /><br />Enjoy Vt! be realistic about pacing, avoid injury, and don't stress about it. Like the famous Walt Stack used to stay: "Start slow...and taper off.."<br /><br />-p<br />Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06752798450146454511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1325268124332278871.post-36737749572999391532013-05-09T18:35:00.314-04:002013-05-09T18:35:00.314-04:00I have a 7th grader, so I definitely understand......I have a 7th grader, so I definitely understand....<br />Glad to see you expressing your feelings...we're always here if you need us!Michelle @ www.movinitwithmichelle.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04819142037609485717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1325268124332278871.post-65992953708142346392013-05-09T18:31:29.843-04:002013-05-09T18:31:29.843-04:00Always good to see you posting again!

I just try to do what I can and try not to be frustrated. <br /><br />Many things, including my running, are not what I think they ought to be, but they are what they are. I too have a great family and with them in my life I am always blessed.protometal @ clippinalong.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00136868195365402745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1325268124332278871.post-58921426468963933622013-05-09T17:29:45.501-04:002013-05-09T17:29:45.501-04:00Life has a way of throwing curve balls at you.

When the free entries to Boston runners came up, I wanted to do this one too. But unfortunately the date doesn't work for me.<br /><br />You were definitely noticeably missing from the blog world. I kept checking and making sure I wasn't missing you post. I was just about to ping you on Facebook!<br /><br />I'm glad you are still running it. Showing up to the start line is half the challenge. You got this Bill. I know you can still finish strong regardless. Skip the Fall marathon, take the needed break. But get ready for Boston next year!! You and me brother!Josehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12829768985992040896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1325268124332278871.post-71091498093112324902013-05-09T16:07:48.643-04:002013-05-09T16:07:48.643-04:00We all go through tough times and I totally see wh...We all go through tough times and I totally see where you are coming from. When you are stressed all day at work it is difficult to come home and do other things when you are exhausted. I hope that once the school year is over you can relax a little, gather your thoughts and think all of this through. Having the foot issues is just the icing on the cake I am sure. It is great that your wife is so supportive. That makes it that much easier. Take care and hang in there Bill! It will get better and you can vent every once in a while. We are here for the good and the bad :)Boston Bound Brunettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15617670777384752810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1325268124332278871.post-25932171687430793112013-05-09T16:02:15.331-04:002013-05-09T16:02:15.331-04:00Awe Bill!!
