Update on What We've Been Ironing

It's been a while since both Patrick or I have updated, and much of that was due to changes. Big changes!

Patrick will send an update along when he's ready, but as for me? The time is now!

I do a lot better with bullet-point formatting, so I'll just get to it:

• I'm injured. There's likely a stress fracture on my shin. I tell everyone it's shin splints, and initially I only felt the pain after a mile or two of running, but now I feel it even when I'm not running!
• It's painful. 
• I'm worried I won't be able to finish my full ironman in time to make the cutoff, but I'll do the best that I can. 
• After the race is over, I will likely not be running anymore until I know it's fully healed. 
• I started a new job!
• It's amazing. I'm learning so much and doing many new things. 
• As such, however, my life is a little imbalanced and I'm learning how to adjust to new things. 
• My hours are off, which means my training has been off. Meaning I haven't been training. At all. 
• Outside of that, things have been fantastic. I'm happy and healthy, and I guess that's all I can ask for :)
