May. 25th, 2011 11:09 amIt is getting to be really difficult for me to enjoy going back to my apartment alone instead of driving over to be with B. in the evenings. cliche: home is where the heart is.
I realized, if we were living together, I might be able to afford the library's health's insurance (about 175/mo), but the only time to enroll for the year is this next month. I could probably manage to squeak by with no frills for a month or two paying both rent and insurance, if we thought we could actually get things ready for me to move in later this summer. Anyway, I'm going to get the insurance info from our business manager and look it over again.
So, with a major pout, I finally swallowed the bitter pill and told my supervisor that I did not need the days off I'd previously requested for the first weekend of June. No big race in North Carolina for me. My ankle just isn't up to it yet, and I've lost six weeks of training now. I just can't do an ultra on the meager few miles of walking and bit of gym time I've managed. So, even though it would be cool to go see and support some other running friends, it isnt worth it in time, cost and frustration to go, walk a bit, and be tempted to do too much.
The ankle is better, more just stiff now rathery than hurty (except, of course, if I tweak it the wrong way). But it is stil someting I am constantly aware of as being/feeling "not right" yet. :( Hopefully, (here's the plan) I can rehab it, get back to running, and be ready and in good shape again for some autumn races by Sept.
Did request a few vacation days off the first week of August, to go to see my folks in Illinois with Hannah, Ken and the baby. :)
