Last summer I was obsessed with four things: Animal Crossing New Leaf, Dirk Mannings book Write or Wrong, Deafheaven's Sunbather album and training for the Great Lakes Relay. Now the first three I kept my babblings relatively low but training for the GLR I went full bore.
The GLR is important, I talked about it here before, but for 6 weeks last year it was all consuming. The past few years of the race haven't been my best and I haven't really enjoyed the GLR like I did in the past. So last year I set out to make a change...or, just try and run more than I did the year before.
Which, at first, didn't seem hard because it wasn't like I ran a ton the previous year. But I took my talking about, planning and tracking my runs to a whole new level last year. At one point I could tell my wife had had enough but I just couldn't stop myself; I kept on babbling. The funniest thing about all this was when I found last year's mileage. I have no idea what I obsessed about, I still ran barely any miles. Yeah, all's I did was beat the previous year's nothing mileage with an almost unnoticeable improvement.
This year I'm doing something different, yeah I'll plan and track my miles but instead of talking and obsessing I'm just going to run. And if I do babble I'll do it here.
