So clearly it’s been nearly a years since I’ve written here, so the one or two people who might come check here once in a while are probably wondering where I went and why I’ve come back.
I’ve gone back and forth on blogging for a while now. On the one hand, what’s the point of having an outside place to collect your thoughts, when you can frequently share what’s on your mind in places where people are going anywhere (Facebook, Twitter, dailymile). On the other hand, those platforms don’t necessarily allow you to share more in depth content or thought. So I thought I’d try my hand out at blogging again. At the very least it would be good to practice and get into writing again.
So here’s what you missed since I last posted:
- I was dealing with a foot injury and was attempting to do a 30-day Bikram Yoga challenge (30 classes/30 days) to give myself a challenge and stay in shape while not running. I didn’t finish.
- It took me about 4 more months to get back into running on a consistent basis. As we all know, an object in motion stays in motion – an object at rest… well you know how it ends.
- I got married in May – that was pretty awesome.
- July – November was the busiest period of work I’ve had in my 5+ year career so far. It was great experience.
- I joined a running group in Austin – after always swearing that they weren’t from me (I’m not exactly chatty when I run). Turns out, it was the best thing I’ve done since I moved to Austin. Not only have I made some great new friends, but I’ve gotten closer to finishing a marathon than I ever have.
- Continuing on from #5, I’ve gotten closer to the starting line of a marathon than ever. Completing several 16- and 18-mile runs, one 19-miler and one 20-miler. I have one 22-miler in a few weeks then to the starting line I go on February 14!
- I’ve made some wonderful online running buddies (here and here) – both of which I hope to actually meet in 2010! But in the meantime will continue to chat via Twitter, DM and Blackberry Messenger.
That’s basically the gist of it. Not sure how often I’ll post here, or what I’ll say, but stay tuned!
