Back on the Wagon

For a while now, I have really failed to keep up with this blog and my posting. I have chalked it up to being busy, but in reality I have the time I am just choosing not to take it. 

So in my last post I talked about being intentional this year, and so here you go. 

Please feel free to keep me accountable as well. 

I have decided that this will be primarily a running blog. Where that goes, I have no idea, but I have started a Tumblr to keep my writing habits up to date. It will be anything, much like what I had done here in the past. There will be pieces I have been working on for years, and even the occasional "holy-crap-I-haven't-posted-anything-in-awhile-let's-just-word-vomit-all-over-the-page" type of stuff. 

Ok quick update as I am working through some things right now and trying to figure it all out. 

I moved. Yup, I left the comforts of a home I had created the last four years. It was time that I was closer to some family and yet far enough away that I could still be away. Adventure awaits for me around every corner, as I have come to a new city, started a new job, and even dipped my foot into things that I have been wanting to try and always been a little too afraid to go for. 

The struggle is real... and totally awesome. 

I signed up for a race. 

For those of you that know me pretty well, you know I have had some ups and downs with running the last few years. I recently have found the passion and love again that comes with the miles and miles built on tired and exhausted legs. And the pure joy that comes from the sweat dripping down my face as mud and has caked my calves. So I decided to ride the high and sign up for a race I had done a couple years ago. I have always wanted to go back and prove that I am better than what I ran that day. But that isn't really why I am doing it. I am going after a time sure, but I loved the course, the people and the day so much, that I wanted to experience it all again. Only this time, I would be a little more me and a little less scared. I know what is coming around the corner and down the hill, and then back up again. So I have that to look forward to. 

Training is going well. Only trying to fend off any and all sickness that may be trying to thwart my new found love of running. But hey, it is winter, and eventually we all have to just lay back and binge on Netflix. 

That's all for now. I'll have more to come. 

Promise. There's a lot of adventure left in these legs.
