Plenty of half marathons, 10ks, 5ks, etc. Some PRs, some age group awards.

Hi everyone!

  Sorry I've been so MIA! I will continue to be MIA for a little while longer as I get settled in: moving to a house, getting our shipments of household goods delivered, figuring out how to subscribe & set-up cable, phone, internet and etc. Once all that is in place, I will try to get on track with posting and reading here!!

   A quick update-- I am in England! We'll be stationed here for 4 years. I'm on my own here for the first year though while my husband does a remote tour unaccompanied. I've found a house, looked at a few cars (with a knowledgable car person from DH's office here since all I know about cars is they need 4 wheels and if there's 3 pedals instead of just 2, I don't know how to drive it!), tried (unsuccessfully) to map out a few good running courses while here on base. I think the town I will be living in will have more to offer as far as running goes! I should be able to sign my lease on Tuesday or Wednesday and move in later in the week.

Thanks for the "where are you?" and "are you ever coming back?" messages! I will be coming back...hopefully very soon! Miss you guys!!

Okay, it has been a while! We want to hear about the new house and the new running locations and life! Hope all is well.
