It's been a busy April already, and I took a recovery week around the 10th. Running has been a chore, but I have stuck with it: several short, sharp runs (4-5 miles), a few 7-9 milers. Nothing longer. April 18, as TnT mentor, I went out hard with a "red" (lead) group for a very hilly 55 mile bike in Southbury area. Got back & bricked: ran maybe 4.5 miles following the bike. My good fortune continues, as I have never had much physical difficulty or pain with the bike/run transition.
I've been discovered to be anemic (low iron), and have been doing testing to see if there is an organic rather than dietary reason (I eat no red meat, not enough green leafy vegetables). Results should be available next week. I have added ferrous sulfate to my vitamins.
Have been frustrated by the Army's inability to produce an actual contract to support my hiring as a teacher at the JAGLCS (Judge Advocate General's Legal Center & School) in Charlottesville, VA. I am supposed to start there on June 1, but the bureaucracy has not moved the papers along so that I have a legal (as opposed to verbal & almost certainly secure) offer of employment. "We're working on it." Sigh.
Assuming the contract is done, I will be moving Memorial Day weekend. Nancy will be staying in CT for as much as a year. We have 28 years of foundation for a long-distance relationship, so all should be well.
