Back Blogging: Reviving The Lost Blog Files

Hellooooo...

Hellooooo...


Is anyone still reading???
Is anyone still reading???

Stoph was right. On two counts. One that me having nothing to say just isn't something that happens. Ever. And two; the longer I waited to write the worse the pressure was to write.

I have been meaning to blog for, well, since June. And I absolutely have things to say. I don't know why I didn't. As anyone who spends any amount of time with me will tell you they can pretty much see me composing my blog posts in my head. At this point, I think they see the blog moments at the same time as I do.

So I can't really claim blogger's block or lack of inspiration as I think if nothing else this blog has demonstrated my knack to write about pretty much anything and my ability to draw out lengthy discourse on the most mundane of subjects.

I will admit to feeling a bit lost after my winter/spring marathons--having met that long chased sub 3:30 marathon goal-- and suffered a bit of "what's my scene" this summer. Cue music:

And well, yeah, can't say I have "my scene" totally figured out but I do know am still focused on improving in the marathon.

While I don't have much else figured out my point is that I will be posting all those blogs that I never took the time to actually write. I feel like I can't move forward without letting them have their say. And believe me, I am not so vain to think that anyone gives a rat's hairy ass whether I write them or not. Lord knows that there are always new and even more prosaic things for me to write about. But for me it will be like missing links in the chain of continuity to NOT write about them.

The good news --and I say good because I have to assume that if you read my blog you do so because you like it for one reason or another--is that there should be lots of new posts because I have a lot of catching up to do.

Stay tuned.

  5. Glad to see that you are back!!

    Always enjoy reading your blog, makes my life seem boring.

    Whenever I am having a bad run at the Mountain, I think about your Twisted Ankle Race Report and know that it could be much worse.

    When I pass people on the trails, and say "good morning" and they don't respond back, I often wonder if I have died and am invisible as well.
