Week 20, check!

DeploymentRecap: Week 20, Jetlag and Paradise

Emotional: A bit of a roller coaster-it was so great being with Lyle last week but saying goodbye is always tough. Iam doing fine though- we are finally closer to seeing the end of thisseparation so I’m holding strong.

Physical: It’s officially MarathonTraining Season! My running group started back this week and I’ve made thedecision to move to a faster training group. I’m ready to push myself this yearand I WILL break the 5 hour mark for my marathon in December. (if I don’t runone before then...). I also went back to CrossFit and I’m feeling that workoutin every muscle in my body.

Communication: None. Won’t have anyfor a long time. It’s not fun and never gets easier, but at least it’s expectedat this point. I did get to open a card from Lyle for our anniversary and I’mpretty sure he and I got each other the exact same card without knowing it.

Something Fun You did This week: Beachday on Saturday- a group of my on-island friends went and hung out on ourfavorite beach. We got to see whales breeching out off the coast. It was reallyneat!

What are you looking forward to nextweek: MARCH MADNESS!!!! GO ZAGS!

What made you happy this week: Beingwith Lyle, but also coming home to my amazing house and life on this fantasticlittle island.

What made you sad/mad this week: LeavingLyle, boat drama, my good friend Tawnya is moving soon.

What do you miss this week: Lyle beinghome for our 5 year wedding anniversary.

Favorite song/show/movie of themoment: Basketball is the only thing I’ll be watching from here on out. But Idid watch the movie Silver Linings Playbook on the plane trip back and Ienjoyed it.
