I took my blog out of cyberspace circulation for a few days.  No, it was not a publicity stunt nor an attention-getting ploy.  Exactly the opposite.  I found myself in a blindingly dark space, not wanting to share anymore.  However, this was not another colossal VJB flake out since I continued to write but did not post.  I made a decision before I chose to stop blogging, that the one-sided baring of my soul is not for me.  It’s like professing your love and undying devotion to someone and having them stare blankly back at you in response (the best analogy I could come up with).  So, why don’t I stop whining and make this blog more of what I originally intended it to be- primarily a log of my workouts with a sprinkling of mental meanderings?  SEEVJBRUN was my brainchild but has taken off on a course of its own.  I’ve chosen to follow suit since this unanticipated direction is the most honest reflection of who am I as a person and marathon runner.   I came to a familiar conclusion over the past few days.  I can’t control others actions and words (or lack thereof).  But since these days I measure personal success by getting the most out of all aspects of life- the good, the bad, and the painfully personal- I’m back.
