Mighty Moose

So, yeah, its been awhile.
I live in Maine now, I'm at the new job. (Its AWESOME! So awesome! Love it!)
The Marathon was a no-go for me: right after I moved I started having some really intense hip pain, resulting in PT, six weeks without running and with toddler-style weight room instruction, and now, today in fact, I am running my very first two miler. Very exciting step for me.
This morning was all wet and woolly out, but it seems to have cleared up, so I may get to go outdoors instead of inside on a treadmill--remains to be seen.
Today is also the end-of-season kickball party.
Yes, I played kickball. With the WAKAs. They're a bunch of insurance adjusters trying to position themselves as "kicky" and "original' but they don't know the meaning of the words, so its really pretty terrible. Like gym class in high school. There are some girls (femme insurance adjusters) who wear the short skirts (!?!I know) and have the right giggly tone, and then there are some boys who wear CLEATS and are all "Rrrrrrrrghgggg" all the time. And the rest of us drink cheap beer out of cans and wonder how in the hell we got talked into this.
But anyway, its over. The par-tay is supposed to be filled with free drinks, so I am going, at least for a little while.
And, yeah, I'm back, I think.
We'll talk about recovery some more soon.
