I'm here too!! We had a crazy winter and I had some shoulder/back issues. But, training is now underway for two 70.3's and a full Ironman (in Mont Tremblant) in August!
Man @cheshire, I'm sorry things have been rough. Hugs lady. You always have such a positive outlook though and I hope things continue to go well for you!
Dear @cheshire, I'm beyond sorry for your loss. I really hope you can find some peace and healing as you decide what's right for your family. (Yes, you and your H are a wonderful little family too.)
I'm sorry the child-free group isn't what you hoped. I'm sure it's hard, but bitterness doesn't bring lasting comfort either.
I am very happy that your new job is exciting and a good fit. I hope for the very best for you and I'm glad you're back.
If you ever find yourself the option to be a SCRUM master at work, DONT DO IT. It may be a cool title but fuck no. Lol. That's all I have to say about that.
I haven't been around very long and only kinda sorta remember your SN, but I feel your pain. Working Agreements! Ceremonies! Consensus! Burndown charts! "Percent complete" LOLOLOLOL. Half engineers think it's all BS, while the other half think it's mostly BS!
Burn it all down.
I'm glad PT is going well, I hope you have a great comeback!

You are spot on about the bitterness of those people. I don't feel bitter, just sad. I looked for the childfree group to distract me, but quickly found that they were really negative to people who have children. Some of it was really upsetting, all of it was pointless. I'm not saddened by other people's success and joy. I'm just sad for me. And that's okay.
Thanks everyone for the kind words. I'm so glad to be back training. The miles are getting easier. I'm taking my dog a lot. He quite likes it and when I need to take a break I can pretend it's him that really needs the break. I might even sign up for a half marathon. The Welsh ones I did last year were very pretty.
