It's been a while.... Good and bad

Hello me. It's me. It's been a little bit... So, I'm back. Gearing up for the annual Race the Reaper run in early October. I am running with a new buddy, and a guy who pretty much exudes "stand up", from all that I've seen. I'm nervous to run with him though, as he's got crazy ultra marathon bonafides. It'll be fun, but I hope not to flag early on! I'm really getting back on track to participate in Tough Mudder next year. That is, and has been, the end-all-be-all of these runs. My afore mentioned buddy did one in Texas at the beginning of this year, and he made it sound as bad ass and tough as I've dreamed it will be. Train, train, train! Let's see, what else.... Oh! I married her. I'm happy, and I'm so very much in love that it's sort of pathetic. lol. I'm still bitter sometimes and, looking back on all of the writing that I did over the last year (in many mediums, obviously not this one only - as scant as it is and has been) I can see the hurt that has healed, and focus on those things that (maddeningly) linger. Teddy bear t-shirts, toy soldiers, the same lingering questions, and what else...? This too shall (hopefully) pass. My motorcycle has seemingly been put on eternahold. I just get so stinking busy, and every spare cent gone to the wedding (which I didn't even pick up the majority of) that I haven't seen my builder in almost 8 months. He doesn't deserve that, so I'm paying him extra, and having him complete a few more small areas prior to my retrieving the bike for storage. We'll see... Other than that, my life is roses. Working hard at work, happy, so very happy, to be married to my love, and trying to keep my kids from killing one another. lol.
