A Brief Hiatus and Big Plans

I've been doing this thing almost every week for close to five years. Admittedly, I've hit a wall: I'm not running, racing or volunteering like before, and it is getting to be a challenge to find weekly guests.

So, I'm going to not force this for a couple of months, or until I have some more stories to tell.

I do this as a labor of love, so it's not like it's a job.

Meanwhile, I am ramping up the training, little by little.

I've also got another podcast on a burner that I have been kicking around for years. It will be called, "Sitting at the Kids' Table," and is about being 40, leaving behind a successful journalism career to start grad school with the hopes of teaching journalism.

This notion got a nudge when I watched (and rewatched) Netflix's great show called "Baby Reindeer," which is created and acted by the amazing Richard Gadd. Our stories are personal, but his is written with a near-perfect dramatic arc.

I am not sure if my grad-school days are close to being as compelling as that show, but I do know both come from an authentic place.

Anyway, still working out how I will do this, but it won't be boring.

Looking forward to re-joining the trail-running community, getting more stories to tell, both personal and otherwise.

Until then, thanks for listening.
