Shamrock Run/Walk

Since my training has derailed fast, I'm trying to keep active/motivated with other races to fill in the weekends. Enter the 4 mile Shamrock Run/Walk on Saturday. Good news: I *think* I improved my average time. Bad news: I need to do something about the continued blisters I get on the bottom of my feet. This has nothing to do with training or the lack thereof--it's a sock/insert/shoe thing that I haven't mastered yet.

In other news, I will be moving to DC this summer. This alone deserves it's own post, but I have neither the time nor the energy to really write about it right now. Bottom line: I pushed the issue at work and have made my desires clear to multiple folks in management. It was a risk, but one that I needed to take.

As if I don't have enough to juggle, I finally found a breakthrough with therapy. I've struggled for MONTHS to get into an office on a consistent basis. It's been a corporate insurance nightmare. I finally got onto a schedule and then my therapist left last month. However, his counterpart runs a 6 week cognitive behavior group for anxiety management, and he helped me get a spot. I start Wednesday. Lots of uncertainty, but I'm going into it with an open mind and hope that I'll emerge with some coping strategies.

I was going to make my Guiness-Chocolate ice cream and attempt a Bailey's and coffee creation, but I ran out of time this weekend. Alas...there will be more times to create for the work folks later.
