I'm Still Alive

Thanks to all those who asked after the blog in its absence. Your thoughts are appreciated.

I wanted to write this post, because I'm going to continue to take time off from blogging, but I don't want my last post about The Rules, to sit up there forever. It wasn't a particularly insightful or helpful.

I have enjoyed being a non-blogger again. I had many reasons for taking my break and actually when I started this post four sentences ago, I thought I was going to use this chance to explain those reasons to you in detail.  Then I realized that's probably not all that interesting, and you don't really need to know. Your lives will not be affected by me going into detail on why I'm taking a break from blogging.

I do, however, want you to know that I'm not using the break from blogging as an excuse to go crazy with my eating habits or give up exercising completely.  I'm still monitoring what I eat and exercising regularly, though perhaps not quite as frequently as I have at times in the past.

But here it's been nearly a month since my last post, and I think if I were still writing daily it would be more of the same thoughts that I've been regurgitating regularly on the blog over the past two years. (i.e. running is hard. I love ice cream; but I wish I loved vegetables so eating healthy would be easy, etc.)

FYI: I decided not to do the tri I was eyeing in June (it was last weekend), because my running has been slim to non-existent lately. I think it's getting to hot for it lately.  I'm still considering a late summer one, but not if I don't get my running but in gear.

So all that to say, I'm doing well, and I miss you guys (and I'm glad you've missed me).  I'm not back to regular scheduled blog mode, but I will check in here from time to time.  I think I just want to enjoy living life, rather than blogging about it.  I also want to make sure that when I blog, I've got something worth saying.
