Physically: I started running again. It's a been a while but I plan to run 2 miles every day and then a long run on the weekends. My first long run will be this weekend and I'd like to shoot for 5 miles. Psychologically: I'm a bit of a mess here. I'm struggling with where I'm at in life. I suppose I thought I'd be more independently successful by now. Also, it's difficult for me to be away from Michigan. I miss my family/friends. My grandparents are all aging and it's hard for me to know that my kids may not know them that well. I've been down. But it's funny how the physical effects the psychological, isn't it! Starting to feel better already. I'm enjoying being a dad this summer. I spent an hour today playing "dolls" with my daughter. I was given her "batman" doll and she said, "be his voice." She then got out her "Princess Anna doll" and said, "I'm Anna" and then proceeded to tell me how they were in love and were going to get married. She told me Anna is a funny and smart and an architect :-) I just finished watching the #movieclub pick and thoroughly enjoyed it and look forward to the discussion. I plan on seeing a bunch of music this summer and I look forward to swimming, going to the ocean and spending some time in the mountains too. All is good and getting better...
Nice, I hurt my ankle 3 times in a year (2/3 just walking), so I've taken to gym ratting instead. It's a different world, but I enjoy both. :)Physically: I started running again.

That's awesome, welcome back to the running game! Two miles a day is good, do you run with people or by yourself when you go out? I can't speak for your kids, but I lost all my grandparents by the age of 17 and you know, it's a bit of a bummer but there are always enough stories, pictures, and trinkets to paint the picture. It's not a replacement but it could always be worse. I saw you post that picture earlier! It is BEYOND adorable. I mostly ignore child related photos but that one was too good. An architect, eh? Seems like Batman's type. Seeing anybody good in concert? Ocean sounds wonderful. I miss the easy ocean access of eastern MA. Keep on keeping on tng.
It's not ideal, he tugs on the leash etc. Therefore, I'm taking him on the weekly short runs, which I expect will eventually extend to 3 miles, but I'm going to keep the long weekend runs for just myself.Keep on keeping on tng.
-Always. do you run with people or by yourself when you go out?
-Ever since our dog Hemingway died, our other dog Harrison has been depressed and he will not go outside. It's fucked up. The other night he peed on a rug in our home. I tried to shampoo it out, with a carpet cleaner and it still stinks. I have to get rid of the carpet. I need to get this dog happy and so I've started taking him running with me.
