Sorry for the lapse in posting here....being a techno phobe I can never remember how to sign in and post...sometimes I get lucky and remember.....unlucky for all of you.
Life is about the same...would much rather be running, cycling.....just about anything but work...don't get me wrong although there are many aspects of what I do that I dislike....when i get to help other people either resolve an issue or do something positive...like buy or sell or refinance a house or write their will and/or set up an estate plan and therefore but one of life's worries behind them...its a real good day...the minutia that is in between is the part that I don't enjoy.
Over the past week I had a few of those reminder moments of why I love runing and especially running and coaching with Team in Training...at our midweek run last Thursday there were two runners...one who is on the Country Music Team so I knew what that runner was capable of even if s/he does not realize it yet and then a brand new runner....s/he ran 4.2 miles which was a new mileage high and I had to advise this runner NOT to run Friday as s/he had run a previous mileage high the day before so s/he needed a REST day...YES we do encourage them!!!! And this runner was so happy upon finishing...it was one of those AH HA moments that reminds you just why we are here doing what we are doing to help in our own small ways...Then this runner spent their Sunday afternoon at a grocery store fundraiser....Thank you!!!
And on Saturday....I saw some real tenacity among thsoe that ran at Mountain Lakes...there was still a layer of light crunchy snow on the path along the Boulevard and some ice patches along the 6.4 (6.5) mile loop that Melissa has planned....great job by all the runners.....and again on Sunday in Mahwah...many runners hit a new all time high in their mileage over what is a pretty challenging course...and one runner has the pleasure??? of running with one of my running buddies....a runner who runs a sub 3:20 marathon and has completed several Ironman Triathlons...so in other words a pretty serious endurance athlete....congratulations to all of those runners who brave the elements or the boredom of the dreadmill to get those scheduled miles in every week....
I know that there is a personal reason for everyone that is out there and some of you are looking to achieve a personal goal BUT you are also doing it to unselfish reasons.
So many thoughts in my head I could ramble on for hours but you would stop and be bored to death (if you aren't yet) and the work that is sitting in a large pile on my desk would feel neglected and the clients would be very upset that I am not doing it.....my therapy break is over and its back to work for me.... enjoy the day ...Spring is coming.....
Happy trails,
Bill
