I want to first say that I totally respect both your honesty and your choice. But I also want to take tiny issue with this statement:
I always found your posts to be both honest (like this one) and helpful. I appreciated that you chronicled your ups and downs with the sport. The fact that you struggled with time/willpower/enthusiasm. Yeah, you're right, there are a lot of triumphs on these boards and in these journals. They're hard-won and well-deserved. But there are also journals filled with people who started and stopped and struggled and stepped away for any number or reasons. At the end of the day, we're human, and I think it's important to read about the good and about the challenges. It makes it all more real.
So, all of that to say... you might not be feeling running now. You might not be able to make it the priority you feel it should be. But in my book, you'll always be a runner, and when and if you decide to go back to it, I hope you'll check in here.
but my contributions haven't been honest or helpful to anyone for a long time.
