Signs are popping up around me that everything but my waistline is stretched too thin at the moment.
Run DMZ is going on hiatus until Oct. 29, when daylight savings ends and we get to push back the clock an hour. By then, my latest work project should be ready for Barnes & Noble displays nationwide and my latest freelance piece will be in the bag. My grandmother will be in a better place, whether it’s back home or in heaven. My baby sister will have found a new car to replace the one she totaled yesterday. My own baby will be 18 years old. My college kid will continue to make me proud, and my husband will have started a new career. By then, I also should have good reason to write about running again.

Sorry to read about your hiatus. I look forward to your return!
oh my gosh! You have a LOT going on! Take care, Anne.
Do what you got to do. We will miss you and look forward to your return :)
Until then.
Whatcha working on for B&N? I worked with them a lot.
Unfortunately, I can't give specifics on the book because of contractual obligations, but it's due to be displayed in stores at Christmas. It's going to be a fun project and a good read, provided I find the time to tackle it.
And thanks for all the comments, here and through backchannels. I know this is the best thing for everyone right now. We're preparing to lose my grandmother within the next week. Naturally, this is when another major work project I've pushed till the deadline will now come due.
Just imagine if I was a procrastinator (which I'm not).
Take care. We'll be here when you get back.
I am so sad to read this...this has been my window into your life for the last year. Guess, you'll just have to put up with a phone call or two from me :-)
Oh MY! I hope you come back. I hope your injury clears up by then too.
I'll miss you but have a great time away!
You will be missed! Get lots done and enjoy your hiatus.
You will be missed! Get lots done and enjoy your hiatus.
Life sure can get busy at times. Take care and we'll keep a light on for you.
Rest up, GL working on all you have going on irl.
Time to pull back and re-group - love your family and focus on your priorities. Hey, we'll still be here when you get back. And just like the soaps, it won't take long to catch up at all :)
It's too much, isn't it??? Sorry to hear about your grandmother. Good luck, we'll be anxiously awaiting your return.
(and how do i get a gig with B&N?)
It can get crazy busy. Take care.
Sure sounds like you need a break with all you having going on! I'm excited about your upcoming project - whatever it is :)
What - you want to write to mainstream people for money instead of to bloggers for free? You want to spend time with your family instead of facing a computer screen?
Good for you.
Good luck with everything, and see you when you return. Unless you don't return, which you may find a good option at that point.
And if that's the case ... thanks for everything. You were one of the first ones to notice me and encourage me, and I'm grateful.
Thank you, everyone. You make me want to cry. I'll be back. Don't worry.
Take care of yourself Anne and we will miss you while you are away. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.
Have a good break Anne - I'll be looking for your project on the shelves at Christmas! And I'll be looking forward to your return to blogging.
Just when I was coming back off hiatus! I'll look forward to your return along with everyone else.
Take care of yourself and your family - I'll miss reading your anecdotes of life, and I'll keep you in my thoughts.
omg anne!
good luck! we'll be thinking of you!
Hey, I just got back and you're leaving! I might go dark too for a while again. See you in Nov!
Oh, just read about your grandmother. I hope she finds peace. Good luck to you all.
life certainly does get full... and the range of emotions in a small period of time certainly contributes... much love, looking forward to your return
Take care of yourself, Anne, and your family. Ultimately that is the most important thing in life. My thoughts and prayers are for your Grandma's recovery. Hope to have you back soon. P.S. -- We're going to have a grandbaby in April and are so excited!
Just found your blog through CRN. I'm also in SD but run Lake Murray. I also ran the SDRNRM. Not speedy but I fininshed.
Sorry to hear about your grandmother. Take care and I look forward to getting to know you better when you return.
You should have capitalized Heaven! See? I take after your supreme editing skills... And just 'cause I'll be 18, I'll still act as immaturely as, oh, say, a 45-year-old..... the one you married.. AND, if you read this, you obviously haven't totally removed blogging from your daily regimen. Reading counts, too. I love you.
Take care Anne. Sounds like a good move to focus on the priorities now.
Good luck with everything.
Sounds like you're busy. Take it easy and good luck with the work project. See you in a few weeks.
I can't wait for tomorrow's post! Hee. : P
