Well well.....

So, it's almost two years since my last post. Two years! That's cause I don't care that much about blogging. That's got to change a bit I think. My interests and passions wax and wane for reasons I won't get into. It's interesting that I'm coming back to running again after a year plus lay off though. I have always gone back to the weights in-between my passions. The weights have never let me down, transforming my body and giving me something to strive for. Yet, I'm coming to realize more and more that my desires in that arena are more to do with vanity than fitness. I have fallen in love with trail running as there is something transcendent about it that is greater than the way it makes my body look. I enjoy being out in nature and communing with God there. I always have, since I was a little boy, sensing something greater behind the creation, a loving, peaceful presence that calls to me, or pulls on my heart. Surfing has an element in that, running in the woods and hiking have it to.
    I am coming back to running after a foray into Crossfit, and having beat my body up in the process. I am looking for more of those times of communion and plan on sticking around for a while this time, long enough to become a gnarled old man, that is if our whole global order is not upended before then.
