Man, what a week and weekend! Right now I’m exhausted! I’m going into week 4 of a cycle and last week topped out my run training so far. Tues I did 7 miles at the track, Fri 3miles of a BRICK and Sunday did 10 miles! Total 20 miles! And I’m shot. I got into the pool this morning and by my 2nd 400 I knew I wasn’t going to be able to hold any kind of interval. I just had no juice left in the tank. This past weekend it was gorgeous here, high in the 70’s on Saturday.
The girls are doing good, we seem to be a good team! Faith has been awesome. She is accommodating my training, but on my off days, I give Faith time off to do her stuff and I spend all my time with the girls.
More and more I find myself in a weird headspace, pondering the meaning of balance in my life now. Before I worried about the what-ifs, now I’m more content in my daily routine and I get excited about what the next day might bring. We’re thinking about moving back, which has always been the plan, but things seemed to be working for me here right now. I have a good job that I like, I’m getting in shape to race again, I’ve stayed inspired with my art (even though not able to get into the studio much right now) and I’m cool with how everything is right now. Every time I wake-up to see those little girls faces all the small stuff just melts away with the warmth of their little grins! I think for the first time in my life I truly believe it’s all going to work out in time, just be patient Jason and enjoy every breath of life you breathe.

Just have to say that your last line of this entry was perfect.
Glad to see that you are in a good place right now and that those little girls of yours are doing well.
I am throwing in this quote for today... “The two most powerful warriors are patience and time.”
~Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy
Exactly, even though I am exhausted, I try to remind myself that each moment that passes will never happen again. The sleepless nights are nights with my girls I will never have again. Be patient and enjoy EVERY SINGLE MINUTE of the little angels' lives. True what they say..... we will blink and they won't be tiny babies anymore.
Great post, it's true that the greatest gift that kids give us is the ability and desire to live in the here-and-now. It definitely passes so quickly. One minute you're worrying about diapers, then poof. Today I bought my son some Clearasil for the puberty-inspired acne. Yikes!
