First of all - running. I suppose with running while pregnant and then post-partum, I've come to appreciate staying healthy and injury-free as opposed to speed and PR's and all that jazz. Even now, I have goal races in mind, but my goals have nothing to do with time, at least at this point.<br /><br />And blogging. YES. I've honestly gotten so bored with reading some blogs - so many of them just seem to say the same things, and I myself struggle with content. I don't really know what I am getting at here - it's just that I can definitely relate to what you wrote today in so many ways!Meghanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13566183193529841461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2659111169994174275.post-11883525414531264592014-04-16T13:54:41.804-05:002014-04-16T13:54:41.804-05:00Usually, writing this type of post makes me want t...Usually, writing this type of post makes me want to write, too. I am like Mo - if I don't do it frequently, I lose my mojo and feel off! But everyone blogs for different reasons and you shouldn't if you aren't feeling it! And DON'T feel guilty (like you said in your comment to Pete). It's not like you are going missing. We chat almost every day! It's interesting... the blog sometimes is a tool for meeting people then staying in touch, but then it goes beyond that to chat, emails, in person meetings... and then the purpose of it changes a bit!Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03201592937889358953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2659111169994174275.post-25919876243629306952014-04-15T10:08:14.293-05:002014-04-15T10:08:14.293-05:00Oh gosh, never feel bad or guilty for not blogging...Oh gosh, never feel bad or guilty for not blogging! I'm happier to read a few sporadic but quality posts than to see bloggers spewing out the same old crap, day after day, week after week. It's the same reason my blog goes quiet from time to time - I don't want to force it. If the blog doesn't serve any purpose right now, take a break.<br /><br />but to second Erin's suggestion, I'd be more than happy to see posts of nothing but pics of CB around the city :)Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18403024177515079403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2659111169994174275.post-25533728824354507822014-04-14T17:55:54.629-05:002014-04-14T17:55:54.629-05:00The whole blogging culture nowadays?

Most of the time, my posts are crap, but I like writing them anyway.<br /><br />I guess if you have a story to tell, tell it, and if you go a long time without writing, just let us know every once in awhile that you're still alive :)Mohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01552118198116488700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2659111169994174275.post-71633540777063485512014-04-14T10:12:42.686-05:002014-04-14T10:12:42.686-05:00I totally get ya.

I have blogged more since moving out here than at any other time (well, maybe with the exception of when I was running while pregnant), and a lot of the time, aside from writing training recaps, I wonder what the hell I'm doing it for. I will say, however, that I very much enjoy your blog... and even if you stop writing for a little bit, you should still consider posting pics periodically (photo essay, much?!) because they are always AWESOME and god.. how they make me pine to be back in Chicago... :) but anyway. Glad you're beginning to feel human again. :) Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09695890488184466585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2659111169994174275.post-55271760447989142322014-04-13T20:59:09.658-05:002014-04-13T20:59:09.658-05:00I relate to pretty much all of your thoughts about...I relate to pretty much all of your thoughts about blogging right now. There are so many things I don't want to write about because they're too personal, or too boring, or because I want to be able to enjoy them without feeling like I have to validate them via social media. But sometimes blogging is still fun and useful - like with training and race reports and such.

Sounds like this may be a temporary thing for you. If I need a break, I'll go a month or so without blogging. However, I always seem to come back to it eventually. It's nice to know it's there if and when I have something I want to say or have a few pictures sitting around that I want to tell a story with.Pete Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09655789227670205830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2659111169994174275.post-74093341183950415552014-04-13T19:29:53.223-05:002014-04-13T19:29:53.223-05:00Aww thanks :) Boring is never bad, and its all rel...Aww thanks :) Boring is never bad, and its all relative anyways.
