who am I?

The content of this relatively private, non-advertised site, is probably better characterized as a journal than a blog as I don’t anticipate many folks finding or reading these words.

For too long, I’ve stuck to the safety of routine and stayed within my comfort zone.  I have no Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or other social media page/s.  These pseudo-public pages are a tortoise-like attempt to stick the head out from the shell (or some might claim ass) – to change things up, to keep myself accountable with a written record, gain greater self-awareness, and grow.

At present, an significant amount of time (and therefore ‘content’ here)  is being dedicated to physical fitness / endurance training.  The relatively short-term goal is to race marathons.  However, this is really just the tip of the iceberg.

Continual improvement in mental health, quite frankly, is the ultimate desire.   The long-distance running, coaching/counseling, meditation, book reading, and TED talk reviews are a few ways to gain greater self-awareness, improve mental health and behavior.   

There are a number of things recently added to my To Do List that, a year or more ago, I would have dismissed without a second thought.  Now, I am attempting to embrace them – well, at least many of them!  (Salsa dance lessens are still pretty far down the list).  

There is no finish line.
