Friends!! I have lots to share. its been so long...
1) I ran the Spanish Fork Half Marathon!! I am so extremely thrilled that I accomplished this goal. In the process, I gained a love for running and lost a few pounds. I came in 92th place and 5th in my age group. My goal was to finish in 2 hours or less and I basically accomplished this by crossing the line at 2:00:03! Well done, myself! My mom and dad came to cheer me on and my dad even ran the last few yards with me. I loved it all and I will be doing this again.
2) I got a job!!! Woot! I am beyond thrilled to have an income again and (eventually) benefits to take care of myself. I am working as an Assistant to a Financial Adviser at the Corporate Offices of Central Bank (capitalize words much?). I had no way of knowing that this would be the perfect job for me, but as it turns out, it is. I just finished my first week and I already love it. The people are great, the job itself is great, and people always bring food....which is great and also not great, but mostly great. Those pounds I lost? Back on.....*sigh*
3) I hurt my knee again :( :( (this is worth a double frown). I know, I know...a third time tearing my ACL?! And in the same knee!? No one is more upset by this all than me. And not just for the fact that I am unable to play soccer anymore (and this time I MEAN that). Mostly because, really?? Three times!!?? Ah well....I haven't been to a doctor yet (waiting for insurance to kick in), but by now I know what a torn ACL looks like (swollen like a grape fruit), sounds like (POP!), and feels like (dull pain juuuussst below the knee cap). I am hoping it is only a partial tear this time, but we shall see. I can walk and function just fine, but stairs are a doozy to be sure. Sorry for the sad news, but thus is my life.
Well, other than the bummer mentioned in section 3), I am enjoying life thoroughly! I have a job (a good one!) and I couldn't be happier! That's it for the update. Stay tuned for the next post, I've got a good one in the works.
