Back, Decisions, & Snow

Hope you are all well.  I should be catching up on my blog reading/commenting in the next few days.Thanks for the kind comments on my last few posts.  I'm back home now and trying to re-establish some semblance of normalcy.  I'm also way behind in my training, but I'm okay with that.  It just wasn't the most important thing for me over the past week and a half or so.

There are two decisions that I'm currently mulling over that need action soon:

• To drop or not to drop:  I'm fairly certain the answer is to drop one of my classes.  I'm probably going to do that today.  Two classes right now is just too much.  It's stressing me out and this going back to school thing is something I'm doing to better myself, not to stress myself out. [updated to add: I made the decision to drop one and executed that decision.  Feel less stressed already!]
• To race or not to race:  This coming weekend is the Sweetheart run.  A few months ago, I was planning on doing it no matter what.  Now I'm not so sure.  However, I'm leaning toward doing it, not so much as a race, but as a run and symbol to myself that I'm back in the game.

Saw my share of snow while in OH this past weekend, but we've had a very mild winter in central NM. Woke up this morning to some cold white stuff on the ground.  I took this photo early before the sun came up.  Bandit didn't know quite what to do.  I think it's funny how he's walking gingerly in it.
