For the first time I can remember, I’m intentionally taking a break from running and training.

Between my schedule at the jail and the long list of outdoor projects I want finished before winter hits, there just aren’t enough hours right now to do everything.

So for the moment, running and training are taking a back seat.

It feels strange because they’ve been such a consistent part of my life, but this isn’t permanent. When life balances back out and some of these projects are finished, I’ll get back on the road and under the weights.
