Moving vs. Marathoning

This weekend, I moved. I decided to save a few dollars and just rent a truck, moving myself. Me, Tall Asian Man, my friend L and her husband were the moving crew. I didn't have much, but a lot of what I had was heavy. And I moved into a third floor walkup. It sucked, and by the end of the day, we were all wiped.

As TAM and I were walking to L's place for showers and dinner, he turned to me and said, "You know, as much as that sucked, I think running a marathon would have to be harder. Now I'm really impressed."

And, you know what? I had to agree with him, that hauling all my crap up to the third floor, while tiring, was nothing compared to my day in Detroit. He had a whole new appreciation for what I did that day, and, I must say, it felt good.

Congrats on finishing the move! I hate moving and everytime I do I say "never again!!" but then I end up moving like two years later.

Welcome to the city!!

I've moved so many times, I have it down to a science. But it still sucks.
