The outer wall of the moving hurricane is quickly approaching! Finally! It has been 2 months since I moved out of my old place and I have been in the fairly gentle ‘eye’ of this storm but that is about to change. We close on our new place today and between movers coming, services being connected and the general busyness of moving it is about to get crazy! As I look back on the entry I wrote just before I moved out of my old place I had listed a few things that I wanted to accomplish during this ‘quiet’ time. One was catching up on some sleep and the other was running way more.
Sleep – Well I have definitely had more sleep over the last two months as my kids have been away and I have only seen them on weekends. That being said they have been back in Ottawa for the last week and sleep has not come easily. As a matter of fact I have been up today since 5:00am with my daughter and I am sure that sleep deprivation will rear it’s ugly head over the next few days/weeks as we try to unpack and paint out new place!
As for running I would say that I accomplished my goal of getting out more for sure. I had a couple of set backs over the two months (back and leg injuries) but overall my KM’s have been adding up and know I would have no problem going for 10+km at anytime.
So what now?? Well with my family back and us in our new house time again is going to be an issue. It is going to be a challenge to continue to increase mileage and make sure the progress continues. That being said, there is going to be an adjustment period for me getting back into being a full time parent so maybe getting out of the house for a 20-30km run can have its advantages. 🙂 Will keep you posted!!
