farewell...kind of...

After much thought, I've decided to shut down suspend this blog.

The way this blog's been going, I think it's apparent that it was eventually destined for the (pork) chop.

I first started this blog to record down all the exercise I did - running, biking, (not so much) swimming and weights - and other things such as gripes about work and life. But time has become increasingly more of a premium over the years, and finding the time to blog is difficult. Finding the time to run is difficult. Running's no longer about half-marathons, 10Ks, mile splits or anything like that - I'll be lucky at this stage to find the time to run twice or three times a week for thirty minutes just to maintain some decent form of fitness.

But it's boring to write that over and over again and for you to read nothing new in what's supposed to be an exercise blog. "Today I ran for thirty minutes under 8 minutes/mile." "On Wednesday I ran for thirty minutes under 8 minutes/mile." Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz......

Blogging's been great. I've met many bloggers, been fortunate to meet some in person, and hopefully will meet some more in the future. The support from the blogging community has been great - I'll always remember how helpful everyone was whenever I blogged about issues with kids and other stuff like that. I've definitely benefitted from the advice I was given, and from the different perspectives I've learnt to view life from.

I'll still be snouting around, reading people's blogs, so I won't be dropping off the blogscape completely, but I don't think I'll be posting anything anytime soon. "Sow long" for now...
