A beginning... or at least a relaunch.

Recently I was reading a friend's blog and I was inspired to revisit my blog and give it another try. At this point I am not sure what the focus of my "new" blog will be. Will it be my training for Pacific Crest and Lifetime Triathlons and all the other races before and after? What about all the time that I spend volunteering, with Homeward Bound and of course FINNEGANS. And of course there is the state of my life at the moment, I am sure that will come up as a subject every now and then.

Another one of my friend’s blogs mostly about her dating life and her eternal search for Mr. Right. That makes for interesting reading but at the same time it gets a bit gray, if this blog is public and anyone can read it will I write honestly knowing that someone in particular might read it. I don't know. The friend's blog that I was inspired by did occasionally touch on her life but only briefly and typically only if it had an impact on her training. I like that balance a little bit more. One clue about what might or might not be going on in my life typically can be found in what song is running through my head at any given moment. Today it was “Gotta Be Somebody” by Nickleback.

The trap I could fall into is that I can talk and talk and talk about running and training and my last race and the next race and on and on, all night long. I know that I talk about it a lot; it's just that it is my passion. At the same time I can easily fall into that same trap when it come to FINNEGANS, again another passion but slightly different. I guess I will need to find a careful balance somewhere in the middle.

One subject that I will probably never talk about is my job. The only thing that might come up is that fact that it is only a job, I won't say that I hate it, and I certainly don't like love it, it just pays the bills. If I manage to ever find a job that I love and am passionate about, then maybe it might come up as a subject, but as long as I am in the IT industry, I don't foresee that happening any time soon. Sigh.....

Ok that is enough for my "first" blog.
