Where are Keeper & June?

...We're here, but it's been a busy few weeks.

Keeper has been:
~doing an insane clinic rotation of 10 (4 hours each) shifts every Monday-Thursday. 2 days a week he is gone from 7:30am to about 9:30pm. He assures me that next quarter won't be that bad :) I'm sure he could post much, much more about his rotations this quarter and maybe he will actually have time...when the quarter ends next week.

I have been:
~teaching school; we're halfway done week 5!!! I'm a lot busier planning and grading papers with 180 students this year! It's insane. I had 2 of my 5 classes top out with 41 kids (EACH). My other class numbers were 35, 33, and 31... It's a far cry from my 17 kid average class size in NJ....sigh...

~coaching cross country; we're ready for our 2nd invitational this coming Saturday. We did really well at our first meet 2 weeks ago. I have a great group of girls this year and love running with them!

~marathon training; my charity running group meets at 5:30am on Sunday mornings for our long run. So far training is going well; every week the weather gets a little cooler in the mornings and I can't wait until we can push that 5:30am time back to 6am or 6:30am :)

No pictures to post for now but we're really looking forward to:
~east coast trip in 3 weeks for Jill's wedding (it will be a whirlwind; get in on Friday afternoon, leave Sunday evening)
~our November visitors!!! We can't wait to see our families again!!
~November/December races (for me); I plan on running a 10 mile, a 1/2 marathon and maybe a 10 or 12k thrown in there too!

We were really trying to plan a New England fall trip but I have no break (from coaching) until after November 6th (State meet). Keeper's break runs into the weekend we're already in PA for Jill's wedding, but he has shifts on the Thursday before. Our October weekends are booked; either I have cross country meet, Keeper has a seminar, or something else is going on. So it looks like we'll see everyone in December for the holidays!!!
