I was thrown a curve ball and finally struck out!
As you may recall from previous blog posts, strike one was dental surgery, strike two was my adverse reaction to the steroids that were prescribed post dental surgery, and "strike three, you're out" was a phone call from our landlord informing us that she decided to put the house that we had been renting for the past seven years on the market -- we needed to move PRONTO!!!
Do you know how much a family of three can accumulate in seven years? Ughh, TOO MUCH!!!
Alas, my marathon training plans have become no more than good intentions. The reality was that in order to be able to relocate within our four week deadline, every spare moment had to be devoted to purging and packing, and of course, finding a new, suitable place to live in the same town that we currently resided.
It quickly became apparent that I needed to defer my 2014 NYC Marathon entry to 2015. I also knew that I would not be properly trained for the September 27th Zooma Half Marathon in Cape Cod, MA so I have wisely withdrawn from that race.
The good news is that we found a great place to live and that my upper body is now extra strong from lifting tons of heavy boxes. I have truly missed blogging and am glad to "be back!"
Stay tuned for many more posts in the upcoming days and weeks.
