Neglect and Final Destinations

Yes - it's been a very long time since I posted anything here.
Why?  Hmmm - that answer is complicated - let's just say it might offer many more postings in the near future.  So I have neglected this site, struggling with pleasing everyone, frustrated by lack of inspiration, frantically searching for motivation to continue the journey.

So what have I been up to since I last posted? Honestly, not anything I can vaguely remember as significant.
Seemed lost - going through the motions of life - regained a little weight, adapting to changes, but bottling up emotions to maintain appearance of everything all good.  Probably why there weren't many posts - you can't fake writing about what's in your head.

So - my mindless meandering through the Internet - looking for something to represent my latest running achievements and came across this...


Focus on the Journey... Not the Destination


I just finished my first marathon in December and the Goofy Challenge (39.3 miles) in January and I'm struggling to feel a sense of accomplishment.  The quote sums it up - I was so focused on the destination, the finish line - that I lost any sense of the journey leading up to those two events.  The races themselves seemed surreal.

So - back to the drawing board - must tell myself every day to Focus on the Journey...
