Blogging update

You may have noticed a distinct lack of posts in the last couple of weeks. Part of that is due to vacation, but there's other reasons as well. It's not that I've stopped doing things, I have just stopped writing about it.

I've decided to no longer use the blog as a daily training journal. I have to imagine any readers left are as bored reading about it as I am writing it. How many different ways can I say, "Felt good/felt bad, hope to be faster next week"? I'll continue keeping my workout log offline, so that I have the resource, I just won't be filling bandwidth with my three mile recovery runs.

Now, the blog won't disappear. Not at all. Instead, I hope to have less frequent, but higher quality posts. I'll still be writing race reports. If I have a breakthrough workout, I'll make a note. I'll outline my training plans and racing schedule for next year, and if things change, I'll share that and why. I'll comment on happenings in the sport. If I get new toys, you'll hear about it. I'll detail some of my self-coaching philosophy, and the generalities of the ongoing lab experiment that is my training plan.

So hopefully when you see a new entry is posted, you'll be interested in what I have to say next, instead of thinking, "It's Wednesday, another 4 miles."
