Obstacles are nothing new. All runners will certainly understand this. I think of the mornings where I set the alarm early, only to forget to check the weather and be met with a thunderstorm when I'm half-way through a long run and miles from my car.
This is a fair representation of what happened to me this week, as the day after starting this blog my 4-year old laptop decided to stop working. The keyboard locked up and no matter what buttons I pushed, nothing was registering.
I almost took it as a sign. I have started a number of blogs in the past and they always seem to fizzle out. Maybe this was just karma's way of saying, "Are you really trying this again?"
But I am trying it again. And I wasn't going to let a little thing like a busted keyboard get in the way. So I'm back with a new laptop and some renewed vigor. And since I ingested well more than my fair share of calories this weekend and came up short on my Saturday run goals, perhaps it's time for a completely clean slate. New energy, new focus, new plan.
So, time for some rest tonight... it all starts tomorrow. No one will read this... but it made me feel good to write it
