There's been a murder!

There's been a murder!

I was thinking that my blip today would have been Velodrome related however as my session is at 2000, I doubt that I will be in any fit state to be blipping and I couldn't resist the opportunity to snap this wee bear that had apparently been left for dead in the soapy liquid aisle.

Starting to come down a bit now after the excitement of running the Mighty Deerstalker at the weekend. Already thinking about running it next year and trying to get a better time. This must be the mindset and the motivation that pushes professional athletes. I am a great believer that gold medals aren't won on the day of the event but in the thousands of hours of training that they do in preparation for an event. It must take a will of iron especially when you factor in all the sacrifices that they make in their personal life. Professional athletes really are amazing and inspirational human beings

A few things have happened recently that have made me question the validity and my reasons for all the early rises and hours on the road, on the spin bike or in the studio. When I started out on this journey I was definitely seeking some kind of redemption or escape from where I was before. I was at a crossroads in my life and had to choose which way to go. I know that I chose the right path for me at that time but I am also now starting to think that instead of escaping, the only thing I have succeeded in doing by following this road so obsessively is isolating myself from everyone and everything from the previous leg of my journey. I have met some really awesome people on this new road some of whom have become really good friends and really important to me which is a major positive. Now I feel like I am at another crossroads but unlike last time where I knew what I had to do, I am a little bit unsure of which path to take. I am starting to get the feeling that when I took the new leg of my journey 2 and a bit years ago it was always going to arrive at the finish line of the Deerstalker where I would find a new crossroads. Now which way should I go..................
