It has definitely been a while. I almost forgot how to use blogger because it’s been so long. I’m not going to lie, I’ll be totally honest and frank. The original purpose of my blog was to make money so I could run full time thus accomplishing my running dreams of being able to make a living from running, going to the Olympics, winning a Gold medal and changing the world in a very good and positive way.
Things have changed. Stay tuned for further explanations, insights and information. This first post of my return I hope to be a step in the direction of coming back. I no longer write to have my blog make money so I can do what I thought I wanted to do with my life, but rather I write because maybe something in my words, thoughts, experiences will help someone, inspire someone, or bless someone. Who knows, but here I am.
I couple weeks ago I got a message from a good friend Matt. He sent me a message on Facebook wanting to know my mailing address. He said he had been thinking lately and had written a letter. I happily gave it to him, but deep down I thought he was going to say something about how he used to hate me, but then we became friends or something. Well I could not have been more wrong.
Matt told me that my blog inspired him. My outrageous goals were something that connected with him and he missed my posts. That letter made me feel so good. That letter inspired me and brought me out of my blog aversion I had been experiencing for a while.
I am grateful to Matt and to all of you. My goal with this blog is to truly inspire people. I really don’t know what’s going to happen. Currently I’m running three times a week with my next-door neighbor who has become one of my best friends. I am studying to take the LSAT this year and go to law school next year. I work full time at a law firm in Provo. Something deep down inside says to be patient and I think that is hard for me, but I’m being taught and I’d like to think I’m learning.
The posts that will appear in the next few weeks will tell you about last year. These are some of the titles I have come up with:
o Unemployment
o Employment
o Lessons learned in the furnace
o Obsession and a change of direction
o Goal adjustment
o Mold and all of his friends
o A running overload
o Job #2: Divine Inspiration
o Branca and my battle
o The current plan
I will no longer be promoting my blog on Facebook or Twitter like I was before. Just pure posting and whoever wants to can read it and whoever doesn’t, doesn’t have to.
Feel free to comment. Or feel free not to.
