I am so proud of you, Karena! That's definitely one for the bank, and OH what I wouldn't give for some rain to run in!!!

waaaaaaaahooooooooo!!! :) i'm like kirsten, i actually prefer the rain. but i was pretty deep into my half training before i realized it. definitely seperates the men from the boys. or the athletes from the weekend warriors.

Woot! Woot! I would love to run in the rain. Unfortunately I'm more likely to have to run in the snow than the rain this December. I'm hoping for a December 180 degrees from last December. Last December we didn't see above 20 degrees for the whole month. Not sure I can accomplish a couple of 20-milers in that kind of weather. But...I will if I have to because there is no way I can do that on the treadmill. Also? You are totally an athlete.

You are doing great! This is the kind of confession we should all be able to write. At least we can aspire to it :)

Awesome. I'm proud of you!

Are you packed yet??? ;)

I know how you feel (okay, maybe not EXACTLY, since I've never even been to Europe)... but I am longing for "home" and just know that where we are is not it.

I wish you only the best on whatever new adventures are awaiting!

I hope that maybe putting it all down on paper has helped you sort through it a bit. You will make the decision that is right for you and your family when the time is right. There is a lot to be said for intuition, so keep an eye out :)

besides the whole cryptic low point sounds like a successful week! :)

wow, so much to think about. you're doing the right thing, weighing all the options, although i have seen your tweets!!! i always think the hardest part about being an adult is that now the world literally is OPEN to anything you want to do. When you were a kid, the path was laid out for you, school, more school, graduation, job.

But now?

so much to think about. So many directions. i hope you follow your heart, it will always lead to the right place.

It's a lot to think about and oh so overwhelming. Do what's right for all of you collectively. We moved to be closer to home and I think it was the wrong decision for my husband who, although makes more $ here, is always tired, works long hours and dislikes his job. Like Lisa said, "home is def. where the heart is". I know your hearts will find the right place. :)

what an exciting new chapter in your life!! :)

You have definitely thought this through very well, which I knew you would do. Being open to the possibility of moving while not burning bridges where you are is a very smart move. I wish J all the luck in the world, whether you move stateside and I can drive over to visit you (cuz you'd be *this close*) or whether you stay in Europe and maybe someday I hop across the pond. (Hooker retreat 2015?). As for the kids growing up bilingual, there are a lot of language immersion schools in the states now. I'm not sure about where you are looking, but don't cut it out completely. Near me, we have Spanish, Chinese and French immersion schools.
Good luck and keep us posted. Love you!

Big decisions, yes, but also very exciting! I learned over the past year that "home is where the heart is" and it truly is. Whatever you do decide, it will be the right decision for your family.

Good Luck! You (the collective family YOU) have a HUGE decision! I wish you luck - but you seem to be weighing every thought - so smart you are. Much love!

Hi Karena! I love your blog. :) I love veggies, but was never much of a fruit eater. Lately I've been eating more fruit and I really think it helps a lot with the sweets cravings. Hope it works for you, too!

Great loss and good for you for keeping up with first set of goals then BUILDING on them! I'm sorry about your low point but I guess you've learned from it so that's good at least.

Self awareness. You got it babe! Keep it up!

Congrats on your loss this week, Karena! I'm so proud of you. I'm trying to focus on treating myself well, too. YAY for loving the training! I'm happy for you :)
