Hmmmm....forgot about this place actually. In retrospect I don't know what to call it...a blog? Not sure. An online journal...place to keep my own thoughts and experiences on running? Maybe so. After all, nobody ever read this thing anyway.
2008 was my last post. I have come so far as a runner since that point in time. So far as a person, a father, a friend... Life is funny. If I could recap the past two years in very few words I would say AMAZING and FRUSTRATING. Amazing because of what I have mentioned above. I really have had some great life experiences and life lessons. I truly feel blessed for that. To sum it up, I've grown and found the true meaning of things that most of us want to feel, but few of us ever get to experience. At the same time it has been a frustrating 2 years. While the running has been great, I want it to be better. I can deal with that. To me, its about longevity...I mean, I have found something I truly love...I am passionate about this.
In real life...the economy and political climate have just worn me down. Back in 2008 I moved to an awesome company with great potential and a bright future. I still have that, but the economic climate has made that progress slower than anticipated and its really meant having to sacrifice financially and take a few steps back. Its wearing on me pretty hard these days but I keep my head up and just "grind". Sometimes you have to do that. I was recently watching one of my favorite shows, "Deadliest Catch" and learned that term "grind" from Captain Sig Hansen...I love it. Life sometimes is about "grinding".
As for what I mentioned previously...about the "true meaning of things", well let's just say as much happiness that brings...its also very frustrating. I mean, its just something I simply don't have and can't have the way I want it to...at least for right now. It kills me sometimes. So I think of all the good it brings me, and grind!
The point of my so called blog was never for people to read it...a few did and that was cool. But I look back on what I posted and like the "journal" feature of this. I have memories of things I totally forgot about.
Life is good...I want to make it better!
So hopefully I'll bring myself back here to at least journal for myself...and maybe share with a few others. Who knows...at least its a place for me...running...and life!
