I'm Back Now

Have you ever had those days when life just gets in the way? Well, as you may have noticed, I have been away for awhile. So it hasn't just been days, in this case, it has actually been weeks.

The frustrating part of it all, is that these are the times in my life when running could be so impactful. The times when I need it most, however, it gets pushed to the back burner because every other area of my life is in overload.

I wish I truly understood how to live a balanced life. What would that look like? How would my days be different? I know one thing for certain, running would not be the last thing I would think about doing. It would be the thing that would enable me to get through the other areas of my day.

With that life lesson learned, I hate to say it, but I am not going to be able to run that half marathon. Two weeks off has put me out of the running, so to speak. However, I know there are more races to come.

It is a great reminder -- just because life does get in the way, we can always find another race to run and another day to compete.
