Trial N' Error

I find that when my running is really clicking I have much more to say on this blog. I guess that tells you what kind of month I’ve had since I last wrote. Ugh! I’ve spent a week out of town, battled a cold, dealt with a nagging injury, had a really good friend pass away (love you Yimmy!), and I’m currently trying to move. It’s tough getting into a routine when your life is anything but routine at the moment. Though my weekday runs have taken the brunt of things, I still feel like I’m on track with my fitness for the most part.

Balancing your passions with life in general is difficult. I really admire those who’ve figured out a way to make it all work – especially those with kids. I have no idea how they do it!? Maybe with more experience I’ll figure out my own way? Until then, it’s all about trial and error baby! Unfortunately, that also happens to be the best way for me to learn... Go figure.

Things haven’t all been bad as of late, though. The highlight of my year came Saturday night when the results for the Wasatch 100 lottery were posted – and I got in! I was in complete shock and I still don’t think I’ve wrapped my brain around it entirely. I’ll be ready though, you can count on that!

With each day comes new trials – some good, some bad. It’s really how you face those trials that make you a stronger person. So here’s to more trials (I guess)!
