I was born a travellin' man (or woman)...
So I'm now in Fredericton, hanging out in my apartment alone waiting for Dan to come home from work, so I figured I should write again because who knows when I'll have another chance...it seems to be that way now, I never seem to have the urge to write anymore, so I better do it when I want to...I'm mentioning that I'm in Fredericton because I've been moving around alot this summer it seems. This past week for example. I was in New Minas Friday until Tuesday, Tuesday I was in Halifax, Wednesday I came here and tomorrow I'm heading (hopefully) to Sussex for a few days and then I'm heading back to Halifax...I just never seem to stop! The trips to New Minas and here weren't planned, they both seemed to stem from an argument with Dan about the car that happened last week...the trip to New Minas was to escape the argument, and now my trip here is to fix the argument. After being in New Minas for awhile (and arguing some more with Dan), it just seemed like it would be better for my relationship (and eventual marriage) to be here. I missed out on a job opportunity because of it, but that's ok, there are more important things than money (although we do need it pretty bad right now) Being ok with Dan is more important though, and we are now so it's good.
Hmm, let's see, what else? Oh, my running is going ok I suppose. I have this training plan that I'm trying to follow but it doesn't seem to be working, I seem to just be doing whatever I can when I can. According to the plan I've skipped ahead like 3 weeks, but I can't keep up with everything that I'm supposed to be doing at that week (I'm on Week 6 but I already did a 5km Time Trial which was supposed to be Week 9) Anyway, I'm up to 5km now, I skipped building up 3km, 4km, 4.5km....so now I'm going to plateau it seems, according to the schedule, which is fine, I still find 5km hard to I need to make it easier. I guess that I now have a goal for the end of the summer too, since there are no official marathons that I can train for, except Marathon by the Sea, and there's no way I can train for a half marathon by September!.... anyway, so my goal is that I'd like to be able to run the Valley trail here in Fredericton before we move (end of August)...it's 9.8km, so the same as what Sara trained for...I think that I can do it, I have 2 months, and one of those months i'll most likely be here so I can check the trail out (it's the one that runs down the Woostock road, nothing crazy)...I ran some of it last night, it's pretty nice, I don't know how far I got, I'm still running by time now, but I'll scope it all out before I go...it's nice to be working out and training again, it's hard doing it all by myself, but it's definately worth it, I feel alot better.
Well, this keyboard I have at home sucks so I think that I'm going to stop for a bit before my fingers cramp up too much more. I'll just quickly say that I borrowed a marriage self help book from Sara and read through it all and it seems as though Dan and I are going to be a textbook marrried couple. There were alot of examples in it that I thought 'that's exactly what I did' or 'that's exactly what Dan does'....I want him to read it but he's not too into it since it's a Christian based book (lots of suggested praying, which he's not to into), so we're going to go to Chapters and get one for us to read together. I'm just happy that he wants to, since we're not doing any counselling this will have to do. Anyway, just thought I'd mention that I'm not just jumping into this, I think about it alot....not as much as the wedding though!! Bah, so much to plan!!!
But that's another story....
