Resurrection

A lot has happened in the past 5 years. Wow. It's been five years since I composed an entry for this blog. Since then, I've pushed myself farther than I thought I could in all areas of life. I've qualified for and raced the ITU Long Course World Championship. I raced my heart out in my first Ironman at Louisville only to find out that if I had stayed for rolldown I would have been racing in Kona too. We built a house. Jason was the general contractor. It was the longest 3 years of our lives. I traveled by RV with some racing friends to support Jason in Ironman Coeur d'Alene... all while being 7 months pregnant. What an adventure it was. We had a baby. A beautiful little girl named Alex. I love her more each and every day. I raced my first marathon and qualified for Boston. After applying for dream jobs for over 6 years, I finally landed it. I'm no longer an unappreciated, micromanaged, underpaid clinical dietitian. I work at Purina where I am appreciated, well-compensated, respected, and trusted to do my job. For those that say the grass isn't greener on the other side... I can tell you that it is. So much greener. So much happier.
