In no particular order, this has been what has been keeping me away.
1. Sickness of 18 year old family pet.
2. Passing away of 18 year old family pet.
3. Putting foot down that we would get another family pet immediately.
4. Immediately getting a new family pet.
5. Another 1/2 Marathon…completely shattering my previous personal best…shattering.
6. Family vacation at cabin, with sub-trip to tent camping with son.
7. Transfer of job duties.
8. Soccer coaching and officiating.
Ugh.
I think that I am back to earth now.
Ignore the Buckles on My Jacket 
Sorry to hear about your pet…
And about your foot being completely ignored.
Congrats on the record shattering!
I love camping and wish I had the time since the weather is perfect.
Eww to the job duties.
Soccer coaching…no experience there, but sounds like a good idea.
Welcome back to earth (as I blow a noise maker)!!!

The first four was our family too about two months or so ago. So sorry to hear about you furry family member. It’s a terrible thing. Glad to hear about your race though. That’s awesome!
