I’m Back …

… and I don’t exactly know what that means, but I do know that I miss the creative outlet of blogging and the process of documenting my running adventures here on this little space of the interwebs that I call my own.

To say that a lot has happened in my life since I stopped blogging at the end of the year would be a rather large understatement. I have my old posts archived and I will likely go through the process of adding some of those back to the site (mainly the race recaps I think (and not that anyone cares to go back and read 3 years of race recaps, but I would like to at least have them all in one concise location)), but in the meantime I like the idea of starting fresh!

I stopped blogging when I realized that I was no longer able to be authentic and transparent with the things that were going on in my life. I felt like I was living a lie and in some ways, I probably was. Believe you me, I absolutely hate that. Again, I’m not sure what this looks like going forward, but I plan to at least share the highs and lows of my running journey. There have been some big highs (lots of PRs (YAY!)) and some big lows (hello, DNF) over the last few months. I’ll do my best to do a big update post soon.

I don’t have all of the answers, or any of the answers for that matter, but I know that we are all just doing our best to navigate this crazy journey called life. Hopefully you will enjoy following along with mine!

I am unwritten, can’t read my mind, I’m undefined
I’m just beginning, the pen’s in my hand, ending unplanned
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten
I break tradition, sometimes my tries, are outside the lines
We’ve been conditioned to not make mistakes, but I can’t live that way
Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten
