Last night while lying in bed I realized I have a race in less than 100 days.
I guess I need to get back on the bus and start training regularly. Hopefully I can use this blog again to keep me honest.
I’ve been trying to think about what I want this blog to be, and I have decided that it doesn’t have to be all running. That’s a lot of who I am, but it’s not all of me. So I am going to try to do a better job of posting more often (famous last words!).
Maybe if I get some time today I can work on a training plan and post something about that. I think that would be a good idea.

It takes a lot of work to post eveyday or even a few times a week. My blog is primarily about running but I also toss in a stray post on what ever is on my mind.
A blog is our very own soap box so we can say whatever we want. However, I feel that blogging about non-running related things makes my blog less focused. Do people come to my blog to read about running or just to see what ever I happen to feel like writing about today?
Broadening the scope of my blog gives me more to write about but I’m not sure this is the direction I want to go in.

It is a lot of work. Combine that with a full time job and being a mom of three…plus I contribute to a local moms’ blog AND I keep a personal family blog.
But I do enjoy this blog, and every time I feel guilty for not posting, I have to remember that I am not in this for any sort of fame or prestige. Just because I enjoy it (and the moment I stop enjoying it or it becomes “more work” then I need to take a break).
Of course I could really try to promote this blog and get lots of free things to review, and post every day, but my sanity would go out the window!

That is the beauty of “unplugged”! Go with your heart, fly where your winged feet take you. Looking forward to reading!

Thank you. I posted every day through 2012. This year I have been taking about a day a week off. It just gets too crazy sometimes!
