I am married with 3 lovely children 26, 18, &12and a dog named Koda and a cat named Blue. Love to run and be outside. I believe that if you think you can do it and you work hard enough any thing is possible. Life flashes by in the blink of an eye, enjoy it while it last and remember there is a lot more to life than running. I coach high school swim and love it!

Tired today so an easy run. I'm really loving my approach to running lately. Most of the time I don't wear a watch and just run off feel. I do put strava in my pocket so I know how far I went but I have gotten to the point in running and racing that I don't need the validation from a pace. I'm usually pleasantly surprised anyway when I look at my pace and splits after. It's taken me a long time to get to this point but over the past few years I have got here. It's a good place and I like it. It's a fun place, I still like to push myself and I still want to run fast but I don't have the same goals as I used to or in better words I am okay with what I end up with that day.

i'm glad you are enjoying your running right now. josse chill mode. :)

i think the biggest reason why the blog has dropped off so much in interaction/activity is that so many of us have gone through or are going through this transition. i'm quite sure that many of the people on this blog see running as a lifetime pursuit and will continue to run for health and enjoyment. but chasing splits and PRs and engaging in highly structured training can only go on for so long. priorities change, life gets busy, and the body gets worn down. it's been interesting to watch the FRB slowly cool off over time, when 5-7 years ago it was buzzing with diehard running-obsessed dorks.

man, i sound like a 90 year old woman.

Well said😄 I just love to run and love to love running and not have it be this continueing disappointment. I also love the friendships I've made over the years.
