Once again, it is focus. Stay the same path--one I nearly abandoned last winter, ticking it off to old age, aches and pains and moving. Oh well. . .

Thanks to an aging mentor and his pointing out that running changes dramatically as we get older, I kept my seat on the bus and look forward to more great runs. Only one way to move, one step at a time. What was done previously doesn't exist, we can only live in the now.

Wonderful article, one I will look back to time and time again. Thanks!! :)

"Stay on the f'n bus!" This essay was great--as yours always are. And it's something I have been thinking about all week based on a goal I've been carrying around for years. There's wisdom in staying the course, but there are times when you know you probably need to get off the f'n bus, move countries, and go to Sweden instead. The hardest darn thing is trying to figure out when "giving up"--is not giving up, but making a wise choice to take a different path. If only there were an app!
