Running to something




As I'm preparing to leave on Wednesday, I can't help but think about all the new adventures that are waiting for me just around the corner. Skiing in Japan, my first 1/2 marathon in Taiwan, a two week trip to Thailand, and a possible month long trek in Nepal up to Kyazu Ri and so much more. Every day will be filled with challenges that I will have to figure out. I will be uncomfortable most of the time, out of my element and I'm sure a little confused but I can hardly wait.

If you would have asked me eight months ago when I was laid off from my job what my life would be like come December, I'm sure I would have described something completely different. I think the biggest lesson I have learned is that you really have no idea what the future has in store for you. Life is full of so many unexpected things. True, not everything that happens feels fortunate but in the end, it all leads you exactly where you are meant to be.

As for my last few days here, I'm trying to soak it all up. Spend time with friends and family, get some good workouts in, and I even went skiing last Tuesday up at Crystal. Life is pretty good. In the end, I feel like I am running to something pretty amazing and will welcome this new life with open arms.
