Sensible Runner for a Month
No, I'm not going to give up the running blog, but October has traditionally been a "sensible" running month, and we all know nothing is more boring than sensible running. I like to take a break after the Road Runner and enjoy the fall running splendor on a sensible running basis without the negative effects of long distance running before I start racking up the mileage for Winter trail running, which I reluctantly submit to keep me from going bonkers. I'm trying to heal up that nagging hip flexor issue, too, that reared its ugly head at the Road Runner, and comes and goes as it pleases no matter what I do, never bothering too much while I'm running, but stabbing me in the groin every time I stand up from my perch in the work cave. Today it's fine, but who knows tomorrow.
I've enjoyed my writing in my personal finance blog; I feel a little bit like a shy kid in a new neighborhood of blogger big fish. My blog roll is chalk full of high traffic popular finance blog writers. Gosh, I've learned a ton from them, but so far--I'm lurking on their blogs and not commenting. I feel like a voyeur. It's kind of cool..
I'm thrilled to death to have two totally different blogs because--for one--it keeps me out of trouble. My head is a bad neighborhood these days, so the more I'm absorbed in the act of writing, the better. Writing is one of the few activities that I find exceedingly difficult, but drawn to anyway. I can't say that about too many other things in my life, which upon the faintest hint that it's going to be difficult, demand too much of my time, or be emotionally wrenching--I'm outta there. Not so with writing. I'm not even that good at it, but drawn to it anyway, like moths to light. I'm thrilled to have two totally topics to keep me busy.
I hope to have more interesting running blogs on the horizon when I return from my running vacation. Bob and I are heading to Mohican State Park on Saturday to check out the lay of the land for our first attempt at the 50 mile distance at next year's Mohican 100 in June.
