Well, I am finally starting to come around with my fitness level and feeling like some progress with my physical fitness.
This last week I went over the 20 mile mark for the week and am approaching my 25 mile per week goal until marathon training season begins. I am still being consistent with my strength training routine and have been able to see a difference ever since I have incorporated this into my weekly regimen. I am excited when I can take my strength training further than I ever have before. Maybe it will actually translate into faster marathon times down the road. The trick will be getting stronger without putting on little, if any weight. I would actually like to lose a little bit of weight in the process, but be stronger. I think I have said that last sentence like 1,000 times on this blog.
Which leads me to my next question I have been pondering a fair amount as of late. Am I done with this here blog of mine? I think there would be some things I would still update every now and then, but, I am kind of wondering, what is the point anymore?
Originally, there were a couple of reasons why I blogged. The first being, just to track progress and share my running adventures with my friends and family, but, I have been running for long enough now, I feel most people can't be bothered reading it anymore, and I'm perfectly okay with it.
Secondly, at one point, I was curious to see how big I could make my blog in the world wide web. I blogged regularly and started to get some decent traffic because of it. Now, I could care less!
Lastly, with social media being such a big influence, I too find myself hardly reading any blogs. I used to be an avid reader of running blogs, but, now, I rarely have the time to even get on social media. My life consists of getting up early to exercise, go to work, with a fair amount of those shifts being extremely long shifts, like 12 to 16 hour days. Then, coming home exhausted and usually falling asleep on my couch before ever making it to bed. This is my life in a nutshell right now and I don't really have the motivation to even type on this blog anymore. Plus, with all the regular family stuff mixed in this crazy schedule, this is the last thing on my mind most of the time.
Anyways, this is my thoughts tonight. I guess I need to decide what I really want to do with this blog of mine, but as of right now, I feel like pretty much retiring the blog. This thought does kind of make me sad as I have devoted a lot of time into it. But, not sure if I'm sad enough to continue blogging and I can still continue reading it. Guess we will see.
