Not So Much...Or Not?

The Future of Trail Running and the Heir to my Throne. Just remember for all you fast guys nipping at my heals. You'll be old one day too. Then this little guy will be nipping at yours.

Not much of anything has been happening in my world lately. Spending a lot of time at work and with the family. Ball games, bicycles and water sprinklers. All the wonderful stuff that comes along with being a father of two in the summer when schools out. 

As far as running has been going. Well, lets just say I've been doing a little of that here and there when I can find the time. Nowhere near what I was doing last year around this time. I guess I'm just getting old.

I don't really have anything planned for the rest of this year but that's not to say that I won't show up anywhere. We'll just see how the days treat me. Every year older I get it becomes harder and harder to get the training I need during the summer months. In order to be competitive at any distance.

Probably safe to say I'm on the way out physically. Mentally though I'm not ready to give up the fight. I guess just because I've been doing it for so long.

Yeah right! Who the hell am I kidding? Who really believes I'm ready to hang 'em up? Everyone knows I'm going to die while running. Why the hell would I trade in my trail shoes for a rockin chair? It'll be a long time before this ol' boy is ready to be put to pasture and a cold day in Hell before I fight my last fight.

I just thought I'd write that to see what it looked like. One day I know I'm going to have to walk away competitively but right now I'm having too much fun. We'll see everyone at the races real soon. Til then happy trails and may the forest be with you all....
