I used to write much more in my journal; several times a week. Now it is very sporadic. Is this better? Quality over quantity. (But quantity is its own quality.) Lately, I’ve only been writing when something noteworthy has happened in my life. Could it have something to do with all the spammers that try and post “comments” after every entry?
There was a time when I noticed that I seemed to always update the journal after a Wednesday or Sunday run. Or do people want to know the random trivia that happens in my day to day existence?
I got sunburnt today when I ate lunch outside and decided to try and balance out my extreme Farmer’s tan.
I did seven set of Hotel MacDonald stairs.
Meh.
The Death Race is this weekend. I am not going, but most of my running friends are. I feel left out. I am not doing it because it is only four weeks before Mont Blanc, which is more important. (I keep telling myself that.) I need the recovery time.
But I recovered fairly quickly from the Sinister 7, so I don’t know if that is true. And that was only four weeks ago.
I’m starting to feel more regretful about not finishing the Sinister 7. Immediately after my failure of 135km, I did not feel bad. Time does not heal all wounds. Time sometimes makes them worse.
In solidarity of my friends doing the Death Race, I think I’ll try and run 60km this Sunday. I do need the distance training.

Or, you could come on a city-wide grocery ride. EBC is hosting it. 🙂
Do not feel bad about not finishing a race. Consider it a character builder. We need to know that we cannot succeed at everything, that sometimes we must fail, or else we will become pompous know-it-all jackasses who have no friends.
You can probably tell by what I end up writing about, I to like to read the random, trival stuff that happens in people’s lives. The “meh” you gave your “evening out farmer tan” story was a “hm…” to me. But I think the best advice I got from friends in this matter is that one should blog for oneself (my addition to this: And then hope for the best.).
