Back in the swing of things--I'm working hard to work normal hours, actually be productive after I get home, and go to CrossFit and run more. And be happier. It's actually going ok so far!

Stress--My stress levels are decreasing, thankfully. Work is finally going ok, I am working out a little more regularly, and I'm eating better. I also finally live in the same time zone as my husband. I miss him so much! And I am moving in less than 3 weeks, and I feel really good knowing that my husband is going to follow this spring. We are super excited for our future together! As in under the same roof!

Moving--I am moving to Georgia in a month. Turns out there are a lot of things that need to be done before moving! I think I'll be busy doing that for a while.

Virtual Running Club--My family started up a virtual running club. We live all over the world (literally), so it'll be neat to rack up some miles as a team. We're pretty excited about it. Hopefully we can keep this going.

Focus--I'd like to focus more on shorter distances, like 5K or our PT test. I'm not quite sure how to do that. I guess I need to look at some training plans online as I don't have much experience with anything other than marathons, half marathons and triathlons! It'll be nice to focus on shorter stuff since I won't have much time with the move and my new job.
