The DD wants to go running with me of late, so I've gone twice with her, doing 1:1 slowly, and she seems quite keen, though the second time was right after ballet class while we were waiting for the DH to make dinner and I think she was a bit too tired. Anyway, I'm very proud of her and hope she wants to continue to go a couple of times a week. We ran 1.25 miles on Friday, and 1.13 miles last night.
On my own, I managed a long walk (56 mins) of 2.89 miles on Sunday night. Yesterday, besides running with my daughter, I got another run of 1.3 miles in (so yesterday I managed a total of 2.43 miles -- still not quite 5k!). Today my bones are creaking just a bit!
Spring class has started and seems to be going OK. I am getting them to do a short 2-page assignment and a large essay instead of two large ones, to see if I can manage the work load better in a six-week course.
Strange to think this may well be the last class I teach here, with a move to Ottawa virtually certain this summer. I have discovered that I am not good at being in limbo. Once I know a move is going to take place, I look forward, not back. I have very little nostalgia any more. I have realised that I like change, and, once things are in motion, I want them to stay in motion. As a result this period of waiting for government interchange paperwork to get finished is fairly torturous for me. Let's get on with it if we're going! But, I know, the wheels of the government grind exceeding slow. Always have. Always will.
The DH is at his "French class for feds" tonight -- and doing very well! I'm very proud of him. He's even helping to tutor his classmates! And he is being very religious about making a point of watching French TV every night for an hour. I think it's been a nice surprise to him to find out that his French is better than he thought it was.
Just finished watching The Piano for the umpteenth time. Every time I see that film I am just bowled over by how brilliant it is. Plus, it makes me deeply regret not being able to play very well anymore. I am doubly conscious of that, given that I live next door to a piano teacher and hear her playing so beautifully. Sigh.
