Well after about 2 weeks lost due to that nasty stomach flu bug-thing, I got back out there yesterday. After work, I headed out to Parcul Titan for a short 3 mile run that basically was one lap around Lacul Titan. To make things interesting, I tried out a pair of new shoes, Addis Supernova Cushion. They were a Christmas gift from "The Granny" (my mom-in-law) and I am going to rotate them with my current pair. The shoes felt good, but the run was pityfully slow. However, today I feel great, and I plan to get back to running every other day this week.
Looking Ahead...
Ok, now what? How do I keep this blog going and keep it interesting? Well, I got two things to offer ya. First, I'm setting a personal goal of running the Dracula Half-Marathon on Oct 15, so I will chronical my training for that. I know what your thinking - "Gee Steve, that's great, so where does the interesting part come in?". Okay, since I have to do some long practice runs to get ready for this thing, I'm going to try to pick a new running locale in the city and do my long run there. (And yes Nathan, I will try to take photos of these different locations too).
Losing the "ole ball-n-chain" again...
Ha ha ha. Those who are actively praying for me here should remember to double their efforts beginning on June 1. Yep, its time for Dana and Maria to head back to the states for the next two months. I will be back to depending 100% on my inept self for all my basic needs. It sounds pathetic, but its not really that bad. This time, unlike January, I have several things going for me:
(1) I actually have a permanent residence
(2) It's summer, so it doesn't feel like Sibera outside
(2) Dana will be leaving me with a freezer stocked with meat ready to cook
(3) Dana will be leaving cooking instructions for the aforementioned meat as well as rice, sides, etc.
(4) Praise the Lord, this time I have a car with an automatic transmission
(5) I actually know my way around this town - scary
(6) I have learned the appropriate times when its ok to drive like a "jerk" to survive the daily commute.
By the way, if this blog gets stale, check on the "Romanian Adventure" family blog. I will be doing some posting there from time to time with some of the stuff I've learned about Romania and Bucharest. I have to fill in for Dana, and it will help me pass the time while the family is away also.

I would like to make my request known that I prefer the biblical phrase "helpmeet" meaning that my role to is to join with my husband in all that the Lord would have him to do. I'm not sure "ball-n-chains" actually do that! Ha ha. We'll see how he feels when he has to wear wet underwear since the wash didn't dry. :)
