Subject: RE: Anyone in the mid-michigan area??? (Brooklyn) Hi Trixie I grew up in Brooklyn...lived in Jackson & Ann Arbor for a awhile (about 3yrs each), now I'm back in Brooklyn, because I want my kids to grow-up with family close by. As far as training goes...I just dragging myself out of a HUGE slump. My May stats are down right embarrassing. My DH hurt his knee, and for some reason it made me feel super guilty for training and leaving him to watch the kids...STUPID I know...but the mind plays funny tricks. HOWEVER...I've only got ~6wks left before my 1st Du, so I've got to get moving. (DH is getting slowly back to the running now too) I'm also going back to work full-time in the next couple weeks after being home for 2yrs, so our training schedule is going to have to change a bit. I have two job offers right now. If I choose to go back to my old job in Ann Arbor, I would most likely be able to get some pool time at lunch. If I choose the job in Jackson, I could bike commute on occasion. (Only 14 miles!!!) Ugh...I hate big decisions...LOL I wish I could do the race in Kalamazoo and meet everybody, but I just don't think I'm quite ready. Hmm...I might have been if I hadn't been such a slack all during May...LOL Hopefully a few of you will be at the Clarklake race on the 17th of July. I'm sure I'll meet up with "Mafia" members at some point. Erin |
