When a family friend pointed out that I haven't updated here since before our wedding in March. It dawned on me that while I've maintained the site itself (e.g. updating the main page or some of the content-specific areas), I haven't posted anything here in quite a while.

Most of the reasoning behind it is that I've been so busy with work lately that I've had little time for me. This has happened before and I came to hate the company where I worked as a result. I'd love to say it's not happening again now, but that would be simply untrue.

All of my spare time has been split between getting settled in our new home and coaching my current marathon teams, which are training for the Nike Women's Marathon (San Francisco) and the Baltimore Marathon, both in October. This doesn't leave me any time to relax, unwind, or update this blog.

And I need to change that.

When I ran the Disney Marathon earlier this year, I had a horrible run because I was on the verge of exhaustion from working 65-70 hours per week for the two months leading up to it. Because I had a slower run than expected, I had plenty of time to think about how angry I was at myself for the way I had let myself get sucked into work. I'm working about the same amount now, and I feel it every time I run. If I don't get ahold of it in the next couple of weeks, I won't see the improvements in my running that I'm hoping for this year.

With that said, I'll try to post here more often and keep the site more current. For that matter, what's the point of having one if it's outdated, right?
