Trying

I miss writing...but I seem to have lost my voice.

I miss reading...but so many blogs are not what they used to be.

It's difficult to write when the people who've been your fodder over the years now are damn near grown young people with opinions on what you share about them over the interwebs. It's also tough when you've lost the passion for the thing that gives you a reason to haul your lazy ass out of bed early every morning, So basically, I was out of content.

This year, for lent, instead of giving up all the things, I am going to try to DO all the things. Things to make me a better me.

First up - training for Grandmas again. I am going to take it seriously, even if the race is designated a fun race for me and my sister. I am going to find my run love again. My mojo. Maybe I'll shed some of these extra pounds that have barnacled on while I wasn't moving.

Second, I'm going to blog every day for lent. I have no freaking clue what I am going to say. But maybe I'll remember how much I love this writing thing again too. Or maybe I'll decide that I'm done with blogging forever. Last ditch effort and all that.

We'll see how this goes :)

    My blog is just slooooow. Where is the time? But I've missed some of my friends who haven't been blogging much. When I saw how many blog friends are doing it, I thought for a second "ooh....I could do Grandma's too!" before realizing that I have a schedule conflict AND don't really love running right now. ;-)

    This makes me so happy! Welcome back!

    I sometimes feel like I'm out of content too, but I think it would be great to hear more about other parts of your life if you're willing to share. You don't have to remain pigeonholed as a "running blog". :)

    I hope I'm not one of those blogs that has changed?

    Welcome back! I am excited to see what you blog about every day and what you determine about blogging! Data says if you run out of ideas, you can post pics of him every day ;)

    we must be secretly joined at the hip. i have lost my mojo for my blog and running as well. i have no idea what's gotten in to me since it was such a huge part of my life for so long.
    i'm with you on this. i promise to do more writing and running and for Lent i am going to get back to the things i once held so dear. i'll be checking in with you to make sure you hold up your end since i have always loved coming by to visit your wonderful blog. xoxoxo
