The San Angelo Half Marathon

I keep trying to remind myself to just go with the flow.  Moving to India has been quite a test in trying to not be so Type A.  I have always been the type to know exact dates of moving and important events and scheduling.  I carry a personal calendar that I color code events in!  I like to be prepared.  All that got tossed out the window when I married Stewart.  And not because of him at all, because of India.  It's been like a guessing game.  I laugh now when people ask when we're leaving and have learned to not hold my breath.

We were last told that we would be leaving for India in February/March - most likely starting the process in February.  That was back in November.  We haven't heard anything further so we're thinking this is looking like a strong possibility.  Stewart was told that he has to go to DC this month to do paperwork ..... but he wasn't told when.  Today's the 25th, so that doesn't exactly leave a lot of time left for him to go.  This isn't unusual at all.

Well, we have been training for a half marathon that is in Austin this coming Sunday.  I didn't want to register so far in advance in case Stewart was in DC or we were in the process of moving.  This whole moving thing has made it so that we can't really have any solid plans more than 1-2 weeks in advance.  As it got closer, we decided that we would be able to do the race.  I went online to register us and registration had filled up!  We couldn't sign up.  I was upset because we've trained and I really wanted to do this together.

So our solution is that we are having a San Angelo Half Marathon this coming Sunday instead.  Stewart's been telling coworkers about it but no one's free (I mean, it was short notice).  So we'll go off and run 13.1 miles by ourselves and just pretend that there are 5,998 people running with us.  At least we know we'll come in 1st and 2nd!
