Bored with my blog so am pulling the plug. I don't think anyone reads this any more and if you did you can keep up with my training through the R2W link and I'm on FB a lot!
Paul... I'll bet more people read your blog than you realize. I sure know the feeling though. I've tried to quit blogging a couple times but always go back to it. Not that anybody reads it or that I have anything great to say... I figure maybe I've got a blog entry in me for every race I run, so if I run a thousand races I'll have a thousand blog entries and I'm thankful that I was able to run all those races whether or not anybody reads anything I wrote. On the other hand, if my last race is #150 (I'm at #145 now), then blogging is the least of my problems. You'll do great either way though. Old guys like me require some extra incentive to keep going!
Thanks loyal readers! Maybe the blog will start up again one day but at the moment I haven't got the motivation to keep updating it and by officially 'pulling the plug' I now feel less pressure to put an entry up!
Probably reflects my attitude to running right now. I'm a bit burnt out and so is my creative flow. A bit of a fresh start needed I think!
Thats not right. After running my first marathon I didnt know what to do. At the same time I started reading this blog. Naturaly, the next goal became to post a decent 5k time. Needless to say, I will miss this blog. I hope this metal break is a short one.
This is horrible news. I can't keep up with facebook enough and I am always behind on the morning runs. The running burnout is the scary part. You're a great one Paul.
Bummer as I always enjoy reading your posts! However, since I train with you, I'll be able to hear things first hand...cheers Paul!

ReplyDeleteI read it. And Spada's and the Old Runner blog.
ReplyDeleteBut I understand that it's not always easy to write something, either.

ReplyDeleteSorry to hear it, Paul, but glad to hear you'll still be posting on facebook. I'll see you there!
