New school year beginning with a few twists

Well, this is not my ankle.  It's worse.  It's my son's.  How I wish I could take this injury from him and make it mine.  Being 15 is hard enough without dealing with surgery, physical therapy, casts, walking boots, crutches, pain medicine, and not being able to enjoy all the physical things I take for granted.  But he has been a pretty good sport.  School starts in 10 days and we are trying to figure out how he will navigate a high school hall full of students when he is worried that someone will bump into him.  Ugh.  I know it could be so much worse, but still.

Along with his new school year, my husband and I both work at a university and our new school year starts the day before his does.  New class of incoming students, some returning familiar faces.  New school year means another chance at new year's resolutions.  I want to get back on track with Weight Watchers and healthy eating.  I won't say diet.  Healthy eating is all I really need to lose those last few pounds and feel better.  I'm just stubborn. 

 I'm also tossing around the idea of training for a half marathon.  One of my friends has done two this year.  She survived.  I knew she would, but watching her go through it has made it seem more possible for me. I'm still not sure if I really want to - but I know I am not totally against it.  Whatever that means.  Anyway, tonight we run a 5k called the Midnight Streak.  It starts at 11pm and it's a pretty fun, laid back atmosphere.  Just right for us not too serious runners.

We will see what happens next.
