Why I'm [Not] a Slacker

Happy Leap Day!

A month ago today, I did ten miles out at Kates Plateau, taking pictures with the intention of a blog post soon to follow. Unfortunately, that post is still in the works (meaning I haven't started). Now, since I realize that there isn't really any following of this blog yet, I'm not super concerned that anyone out there cares that I haven't written. So really, it's completely up to intrinsic motivation to propel me to write. And I do want to write, it's just...SCHOOL...makes me tired. So, I haven't really written OR run recently.

Ah, but I haven't been completely idle! Au contraire!

On February 27th, I asked my girlfriend to marry me! So I dedicate this post on my slackership to my beautiful fiance Emily! Since she's shy, I won't post any pictures of her. But I will post a link to her blog. Which gets updated less frequently even than this one--however, there's more content, since it's been around longer. Usually it has nothing to do with running. Mostly just her theological/philosophical musings.

Also, I've been working on other projects (in addition to my engagement plans) that have taken priority to this one.

Also, I really am lazy.

In this time of slacking about which I am writing, I even tried slacklining for the first time! It is hard. If you can even walk across the slackline, you're better than me. If you can even get on the thing every time, you're better than me. Shoot. If you even own your own slackline, you're a step ahead in the game. So, one thing I can certainly say I am not is a slacker--in the slacklining sense of the term. (That is what you call one who is good at slacklining, right? a slacker?)

However, spring break is just around the corner, and I plan on getting my head back in the game. My top goal for spring break is to catch up on sleep. Another slightly less important goal is to get that post on Kates Plateau up before the end of the break. Shouldn't be too difficult, as long as I don't sleep too much.

During this time of not blogging and slightly less time of not running, I've been thinking that I may have to see if others are interested in a collaborative effort to get this blog into a more regularly updated tool like I'd envisioned it in the beginning. Since I'm selfish, I'm not sure if I want to do that yet. Besides, it's kind of a hobby thing for me. I just haven't really been putting attention to this hobby recently. I do need to get back to running, even if I don't write enough, though.

Happy Leap Day, everybody. And by everybody...well...let's just say I feel like a tree falling down in the forest...

Oh--almost forgot about that link to Emily's blog: http://zolajoy.blogspot.com/

Peace, Love, and Slacking,
