I now have 9 days until I enter the wonderful world of ultras.
9 days.
That is a single digit incase anyone missed it.
Very little I do at this point will help me perform any better during the race.
So for the past 3 days I have been trying to focus on enjoying my runs.
Being that I frequent the same routes quite often I try to enjoy the changes along those routes.
I use my run to simply spend some time in my mind and be quiet.
Last evening when I was reading up on a few blogs I noticed that I lost a few followers. I thought about this while I was running this morning. I wondered if I had written something that offended the now ex-followers. It's not rewarding to think that I have lost the ability to inspire someone.
My biggest concern over the ex-followers would be the thought that they lost interest in running, in seeking a healthier lifestyle. And if my words failed to help them if they were struggling in their efforts.
Perhaps their journey simply lead them down a different road.
While mine has me on familiar paths.
I thought of them; the ex-followers, this morning and wish them well in whatever road they are now on.
As for me, I will continue to share my little journey; up hills and down, through mud and snow, in the dark of night and at the crack of dawn, behind a jogging stroller or dripping wet on the treadmill; my journey.
Maybe a lot like yours.
Seeking something amazing everytime I lace my shoes.
Thanks for sharing in the journey!
