AM-5 miles easy. I think I had more personal revelation on this run today than all of the others combined.. Looking back on the years I've spent running, and also restoring antique radios this is kind of what I came to a conclusion on this morning;

Anything really worthwhile will come with a fairly high cost whether it be financial, personal, time wise or all of the above. We have all heard this but how many of us really understand and comprehend it? Not me.. I'm really not sure why in the past I was willing to put it out on the line in previous years for these achievements and not for education or career.. Was it a matter of interest and passion? Laziness? Or perhaps something else.. Like a life's purpose with confidence. Either way it was good to have some personal inventory taken this morning. Running I believe was made for exactly these kind of moments:)

You're right on the money with that observation Steve.

And here in Utah you can't even buy a lottery ticket!

To be truthful Rob.. I'm questioning a lot of other things including Mormonism and it's leadership, but I hesitate to say much else as it may get me kicked off the blog:)

Don't get me wrong. I'm still a very strong Christian and as we speak I'm looking at the meeting schedule of a certain church I want to attend tomorrow. Open for discussion on this if anyone is interested..

Not exactly the right forum.. Important nonetheless.

I thought so..
