One Final Post: A Season of Silence

28
Jan
2013

Monday, January 28, 2013 – There is supposed to be a season for everything. A time to be born. A time to die. A time to plant. A time to uproot. A time to keep. A time to throw away. A time to speak. A time to be silent.

For four years, I have been a runner. And for four years, I have written about the miles. Loving The Run has been a part of my life for nearly two years. And the lessons I have learned…the people I have met…the joys I have experienced…every moment has been a brilliant step along a fantastic journey.

It is time, however, for me to be silent. It is time to step back, close up shop and turn inward…

…for a season.

I love running and remain passionate about writing. But looking forward with intention and a life vision, I see profound value in a self-imposed blogging/social media hiatius.

While I am in “silent mode,” my hope is that you will continue to do the things you need to do…in order to stay in a constant state of personal evolution. I want you to always strive for that happier, healthier version of you.

Until we connect again here at Loving The Run or on Twitter or Facebook…Happy running, and happy living!
