Michael Jordan did it.
Rocky did it.
the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are trying to do it.
The Police are doing it...but who really cares?
Sanjaya continues to do it week after week...much to the annoyance of 32 million viewers (this one included)
That's right folks I'm talking about a comeba.....oh wait, LL Cool J said not to call it one, so I wont. A hiatus?....a hibernation?......a temporary state of suspended silence?.....ok ok ok....no truth serum needed...here's what I've been up to:
Jan 18, 2007 -- Deep reflections about my life changing marathon experience sent me to the remote desolate valleys of Nepal. No, I wasn't searching for a Yeti (found it at AK)...but I ended up making friends with a monk named Bhikshu who convinced me to meditate on my journey and take a vow of silence. Newsflash: sitting indian style, palms outward focused on my "inner peace" may work for Gary, the neighborhood yoga instructor but it just doesn't quite cut it for me. This boy needs to run....so I ran...(cue Flock of Seagulls song OR...the chariots of fire theme depending on your musical preferences)...
April 3, 2007 -- Made it home. No medals...no mylar blanket...no bus to transport me to an air conditioned mickey themed hotel room...just a pc with the disboards still pulled up. So how are things??
Ok, all attempts at witty humor aside...I didn't stop training or running or ellipticising (or working or eating or sitting in crappy Atlanta traffic every day either). And rumor has it that someone is officially going Goofy in '08. I ran a 10k in the early part of the month and just completed a 5k in a very satisfying 25:02. I've got some events mapped out in the near future that should keep me moving right along. I didn't run any more marathons, but I did volunteer for one
and that was a cool experience.
So here I am...back for a bit....to see what's going on around here and to maybe even track my own running progress.
Hope everyone is doing well...til next time:
