I remember when...

I thoroughly enjoyed reading Bill's account of his amazing 50K run last weekend. It was written very well. I started browsing my blog, randomly reviewing posts from 2006-2008 and I came to the realization that I've lost my writing skills. I actually enjoyed going back and reading some of my old posts. Some were entertaining. Others were informative. A few really expressed what I was thinking and feeling at the time. What happened? I think I must consider that Facebook, texting, cell phones, Twitter, all these modern modes of short, immediate, instantly available forms of communication have somehow dulled my communication skills, at least my skills as a writer. Like any other skill, I'm going to have to practice to get it back. Look for a lot more blog posts in the future.

thats me vic!!! not only did i stop writing well (i always got compliments), but after the marathon in 2007...well soemthing happened to take my 'light'...my writing became not only sporadic, but less and less about what i truly loved..running AND writing.

so like in so many ways, i am turning BACK the clock to how i lived and loved and laughed back in the 'good old days'...and that includes MY FRIENDS and my writing...
