Well, for starters, I no longer am working with the young man with developmental disabilities. For some reason (no one has any idea why) his anxiety was starting to rise every time I came to work with him. (This is weird because this didn't happen until after about 8 months.) So that was weird to lose a job out of the blue, but I'm really okay with it. The training and paperwork and some of the peripheral issues were getting pretty stressful, so it's actually freeing to be done with those things. I'm probably going to start delivering pizzas again. (Good pay - free pizza).
In other news, we got stood up by the Mormon missionaries. I don't know why, but we were actually looking forward to talking with them. Back in La Crosse, we and some friends of ours played whiffleball with some Mormon missionaries and we think they let us win. I might post the results of some of our Mormon research if anyone is interested in what we were going to say.
The marathon training is going well(?). I've had to cut back on my mileage a bit because my shins and knees are hurting, but I've managed 84.1 miles since 2/12. This isn't as many as Phil, but there is something to be said for quality over quantity. And high altitude. (Actually Phil is the trendy pick to win it all.)
Today my weekly long run was 9 miles. I haven't run that far in 8-10 years. I managed to run the whole thing without breaking my legs. While I was running, I was listening to a program about near-death experiences. I think I also had one at about mile 8. I can't wait to cross that finish line and be done with this whole crazed idea. I think I'll take up something easy next, like birdwatching.
That's all for now.
