Return!

Its been a really long time since I have been motivated to write here and that is both good and bad. At one time, this was a venting board for me, an outlet for hurt but as time often does, those wounds are well scabbed over and becoming little more than conversational scars. There are new horizons in view, new challenges to attack and currently, new obstacles to overcome. A lot has happened in the last few months but most of those events have been internal, not external. I've completed many facets of recovering a broken heart but more importantly, I think I have emerged from the experience better overall.

Next month (hard to believe so soon) I will be travelling to England/Scotland to tackle the "big fish." The Edinburgh marathon. Perhaps some of the reason I have renewed the blog is out of my current frustrations with a training issue. After much caution and precaution, I have sustained an injury. Minor I hope but still no less dramatic in my view. I am forced to maintain (at a time when I should be accumulating) fitness via cross training. 26.2 miles is a big undertaking and I'm frankly scared shitless by the simple fact I am currently unable to run. Biking is the new standby with tons of yoga and core work. I'll update more soon....not that it will afford much interest for anyone other than myself retrospectively!
