Me and my succulents and the boy traveled back to NJ (home) where I’ll be residing for the short term future until my office in Boston reopens. I’m so grateful to have the opportunity to stay with family during this time and that i have a job i can work for remotely and that i have a dog and matcha to keep me happy. But i still feel quite lost.
All my spring races, including the one I’d been dreaming of since i make the decision to go to Boston for college 4 years ago, have been cancelled. My training cycle is ongoing, but very much in limbo. I will restart training in May/June in the hope that the current situation quiets down in time for a September Boston marathon, and my legs need some quality rest before then, but i just can’t imagine stopping without some kind of conclusion.
The graduate schools i have been accepted into are requiring my decision sooner than I’d like, but without a visit to their physical campuses and cities (impossible rn) i can’t see myself making a decision. And on top of that, I’m still waiting for 2 more schools to get back to me. High anxiety on that front.
To all healthcare workers, my heart goes out to all of you. You are so brave. Thank you for all you are doing.
