October and the beginning of November have been a roller coaster for me. I’ve had some huge ups and even bigger downs, I’ve experienced every emotion in the last couple of weeks in the most intense form. My diet and my exercise have suffered.
I’m starting this week fresh, though. I have lots of reasons to start fresh, the biggest being… ::drumroll please::… I am starting a NEW job!
I have accepted a new position that I am really excited about. I am actually staying at my old job one day a week for a little while until they can replace me, which is a nice transition. But tomorrow instead of a 2 mile drive to the nursing home I’ll be making a little longer drive to a hospital to work as an outpatient dietitian! I am really anxious for this change… I think it is not only going to be great for my career, but also great for me personally.
Some bummers… I did not run any races in October, and I did not run the Mid-Land Half. But I’m looking forward to 2015 with my goals set high – I want to run the Winter Warrior Races, starting with a 5k for the Snowman, a 10k for the Ice Cube, and a half marathon at the Mud Dogs! Big goals… but I’m determined to do it this year.
