I can relate to all of this. It's definitely why I stopped doing my own running blog. Goal achieved, with many nagging injuries, a time I wasn't happy with, etc. To do the marathon, I neglected my family a little bit and had to be quite obsessive for some time. I can't sustain that kind of energy about the same thing for very long. I admire people who can. But maybe you just need to take a break and re-evaluate... from running, blogging, whatever. So you can make more chocolates, and blog about that! :) Oh yeah. I can relate to all of this. It’s definitely why I stopped doing my own running blog.

I responded on my website rather than leaving a long-winded comment. http://news.runtowin.com/2005/12/21/focus-goals-and-lack-thereof.html I can’t quite relate to your lack of focus, although I can easily imagine what it is like.

When you live big and have big goals, you have to keep setting new ones for yourself. I'm very much like you. It might help to do what I do, just sit down and map out all of the important areas in your life and set goals for each and every one of them. Short-term, long-term, it doesn't matter. What matters is that you are focusing on bettering yourself. Be well, and if you want, I've tagged you for a "list 5 random things about yourself". Happy Holidays, man! Run on! I hear you man.

Nothing, really, except to say: Thanks for putting this into words for me. I miss my marathon training like crazy, but I wasn't crazy about running the marathon. I'm still mad about it. So I set a 10K as my next target (giving up run/walk) and I did that. Now I'm injured again. Blech. Plus it's cold. I got nothin' to add, except: I do think it's the journey, not the destination. You gotta enjoy the journey. Having a destination helps. Does this make sense? Ah, you already said it all. You rock, jon. What pithy, on-target comment can I add to all of the above?
