Letting Go or Not

Blogs are funny things - we get all excited and write a lot, and then the fascination fades, or we're distracted by other things. I was able to keep on this one for quite awhile, but then bought my own domain, then another, and another....next thing I knew I had a plethora of websites.

This is one of the blogs that got caught in the middle of it all. It's where I started, but finishing is hard.

In the world of websites, backlinks become gold, so while I normally would have folded it and called it a day, the value of the links coming from this site to other sites has put me at odds. Silly little thing. An old, little blog that I wrote to for so long - that I rarely write to, and yet it stands - because of the places it points to.

Seems weird, and yet it's all part of the deal.

Anyway, just popping in to keep this alive at this point. Quite the quandary....

Moving My Body

It's amazing how we often times don't have the desire or energy to move our bodies, even though we know it helps us feel better.

As for me, I was having that issue a bit, and finally got moving again - and boom, there's the energy. It's hard to feel inspired to move when you're tired and yet if you make the effort, you aren't so tired anymore. I know this in my brain, but it doesn't always translate to my "want" at the moment.

I'm back to running again and lifting weights. I am thrilled to be moving again. I always feel so much better. Now, if I could ingrain this in me for those moments when "I just don't feel like it".

The Odd Thing

I don't write to this blog often, I have many other websites - but the crazy thing is, you get attached to the idea that this blog has been here for about 4 years now. Do you maintain it, do you keep it, do you discard it? It's trying to figure those things out.

For me, even though I don't write here often, it's hard to think of dumping all the posts I've put up over time. Silly - the things we get attached to.

And So I Run...

..I've been so distracted by other projects, I've let this slide. The main topic of my life right now is that I'm training for my first ever 1/2 marathon. It's on my brain a lot, and I've been working on my progress.

I started with the C25k and have now jumped over to the Marathoning for Mortals training. My 1/2 marathon is in March - so I've got about 13 weeks in front of me to continue my training until the big day.

I realize I've slacked on another site that I need to take care of, and even though I'm aware of it - I find I need to push myself to get it done. Over the last few years, I've taken on so many different websites, I've had to pick and choose what I was doing with each, and so many there is just an emotional attachment and not wanting to let go of years of posting, writing or work. Some are working for me, others not so much...

This was the first blog I ever started - so for me - I sort of just want to hang on to it a little longer. I even moved a new blog to the domain SurvivingNJ.com, but I kept this along for the ride...

...I don't know how much longer I'll write to all my sites, since I build websites for business too - but I guess it's learning to break that attachment more than anything...wiping out years or writing seems difficult. I could always move a bunch of posts, but 3 years of writing - eh, I don't think I want to move it all...only some, but who has the time to go through and pick and choose, hahaha

Oh well...for now, running is on the brain, and blogging suffers on this end a bit.

Keeping it After All

I went through 2,500 posts these past 2 days, and decided I do want to keep it. It was fun going through it and reading things from 3 years ago! What I did do is clear out some crap that was on it, and adjust a few posts.

On that note...here's to another 3 years!

Too much Crap

I'm going through some of my older stuff, and sorting through it. I'm on the verge of letting go of this blog...and I guess I hang on because it's been here for 3 years. What is it though...what does it represent, and how will I feel if it's gone?

I'm still deciding that.
