I have spent the last 12 years or so going with the flow, which is really being kind about my non-participation. Put more succinctly, I've let things happen TO me, blamed others or bad luck for things I didn't like, and not admitted my part in things that have gone right. Well, that stops today. All it's gotten me is a life filled with opportunities and potentials and very little actions. That is, there are things I SHOULD be taking advantage of or participating in but instead, I've let them slip by like a ship passing in the night. It's a sad statement that I can sum up most of my life for the last decade in a few words. That's not true to my spirit and it's not who I want to be for myself, my kids, or my wife. So today, I start a journey of change and discovery. This isn't your average bucket list story. This is a conscious admission of my incredible short-comings and my further conscious decision to change that. And I'm going to start doing it with running. Today, I plan on running for a while at Veteran's Acres in Crystal Lake IL. I love that place and I think it will be a mainstay for me in the coming year. Stay tuned. I will have pictures, stories, maybe even a video or two. For now, I'm done writing. It's time to go running!
