I was running this morning while pondering a personal challenge I’ve levied on myself. My goal is to get better at articulating what I observe more simply with plainer language. Without losing accuracy.

Recent observations about my running and lack of it ensue. You may have noticed the monthly Toddler Talks have disappeared. Do not despair! They are being replaced by the quarterly Big Boy Broadcast, of which this is the first installation. Hi there. Lately, my blog has been nothing but the occasional race report. I thought I’d give a quick update on my run training status and subsequent racing plans. Last year, I was lucky to score a spot in the Umstead Trail Marathon, and then I had an awesome day and won it. This was double lucky, because that scored me another spot in this year’s event without having to battle the registration madness increasingly seen at popular events. Whee! Here’s how it went. We’re nearing 3 1/2 years. We’re not quite there, but close, and seem poised to enter the developmental stage of endless questions. Why? Why? Why?

We’ve got a clever one on our hands that has an impressive learning curve with using our own words and techniques against us. Such as? Click on to learn more. Success is one of those things we generally think we know what it means and behave as if everyone defines it pretty much the same way. Except we don’t.

Time keeps passing. Yesterday, I looked back at Remy’s newborn pictures and couldn’t believe how small he was. Small in a “big for a newborn” kind of way, that is. But now he’s big and destined to get bigger still. Here’s the latest trends in Remy land. It’s time to come clean and talk about what I would have rather been doing while I was training and racing triathlons throughout the 2011 season and what I will be doing during the 2012 season. It took a little forcing myself to do swim and bike workouts. I just wanted to run. |
