I've been having a tough go with ye old blog the last few weeks. I know, I just started posting last week, but I'd been thinking on it for some time. The original blog grew out of requests from friends and family to cover my marathon training experiences. Just as much, it grew out of my need to express all that I was feeling and experiencing while taking on that challenge, and tackling the last few pounds of my weight loss.
Now that the running is less shiny, and new, and more of something that is engrained into my daily life, I'm not sure what direction this little blog might take. I want it to remain something earthy, and meaningful to me w/out turning into something like an hour by hour play of "what I did today". How to do that organically, I'm not sure.
I guess what I'm asking here, dear friends, is to bear with me while I continue to search for my new voice. The marathon has come and gone. The weight loss--I made it over the top of that mountain. Make no mistake--it's a day to day balancing act--but the overall goal was met. Please forgive if what I'm about to say makes me sound completely full of myself--it's not the intention: I'm trying to find strength and stability in admitting it's okay to tackle smaller goals. Not all endeavors have to be a climb to the top of Mt. Everest. The day to day challenges are just as important. I tend to seek out the adventure of those Everests, when in fact my mind and body are trying to tell me to just settle down and refocus--take a load off. So here I am--trying to actually listen for once!

Yay! Write what you feel like! That's what I do. It's not always fascinating but it's always sincere.
I have to say; even though you don't want to post "this is what I did today"... I like reading that stuff! I love seeing what people do on a daily basis. :) Of course, write what you feel like- just like Alex said. But don't worry too much about it being "about" something. And small goals are just as important! :)
