So many things...

I find it hard to focus when I'm drawn to so many things. Each shiny object more shiny than the next. This isn't to say I'm fickle or flighty. On the contrary, I know exactly what I'm interested in and what's a waste of my time. I just find it hard to choose one passion over the other. And while I'm friendly with them all, often my interests are at odds with one another. 

For example:
I love to run...far...and fast...


Unfortunately, I'm not as interested in the training part of running marathons (thus the kind of 'winging it' expertise I've developed recently to still run a sub-3:10). Logic/experience tells me I'd be faster with training, but I'd much rather be enjoying this than an 8 mile tempo when it's 10 degrees out with 17mph winds...


You might think that's a no brainer, unless you know runners. Most members of this special group of dedicrazies are more die hard with the running thing than I could ever entertain to be. And I have a lot of opinions about that. Some are popular, many are not so favorable; but hopefully they're entertaining, and if I'm lucky, perhaps enlightening.   

In fact, there will be many opinions shared here, on many topics that I may or may not be qualified to opine on. But that's kind of my thing. They say everyone's got one...I've got a lot more than that...
