After some thought. I need to move on from blogging about running. It is my passion and my love but, alas I do not have the time or the interest to write about this. I eat, sleep and breath running except for the 8-9 hours a day I spend working. It is and always will be one of the things that I find a true calling and passion in. I still hope for the day when I can wake up and all I have to do is run, or coach, or apply my running skills to teach others. Maybe there is a future in that somewhere down the road. Until then, I will happily wake up and run, go to work and dream all day about that next run, don my favorite running shoes and head out the door or up the stairs to the treadmill. Thinking about that rush, that first step, that first bead of sweat sliding down my back, that first wipe of the towel or that last drink of water. Every run has it's ups and downs, it's highs and lows, some literal and some figurative.
I have fallen short of both the goals I set out to do but; the question remains to be asked....did I fail? Absolutely not! I put forth everything I had. I left it all on the road and trail this year. I may not have raced as much as I did in 2011 but the time I put in to training was on par with the IM I completed. The pain, the time, and the sacrifice are all worth it. I'll never look back at 34,54,84 and say to myself "I wish I would have spent more time at work".
I find an outlet in sharing my passions and skills with others. I'm going to start something new. Keep an eye out.
