Its amazing how busy life can be even when I am not running a bunch of miles/hours per week.   Aaron has been super busy this week also.  That tends to happen when your full-time office manager and her part-time assistant (her Mom) are suddenly no longer working for you, leaving you in a lurch.  Its a loooooooong story but I'll just say we're in transition.  Options that never even crossed our minds a few days ago are now not only being considered but feeling very logical.  One week ago we were (theoretically) hiking along this beautiful path that brought some pretty awesome vistas and rewarding summits along the way.  We were very much enjoying the hike (having just reached an amazingly cool summit), feeling perfectly happy and content to keep hiking forth on that path and see what the next summit held.  Now suddenly it feels like the Lord snapped his finger and directed our attention to the right where He has set forth a new, similar but unknown path for us and we are looking at it thinking, "Wow, that looks like a SWEET path....is that really where you want us to go?  But what about where we've been?  Do you really think we should leave that path?  'Cause it was pretty awesome too."  So we're standing at this crossroads, praying for guidance and confirmation as we baby step towards the new path, realizing there will probably be rocks and steep sections ahead but hopeful that it may actually be a better, more rewarding path than the one we have been on.  Only the Lord knows what is best for our family and business.  I'm confident things will become more clear as we proceed in Faith.

Sorry for the poetic confusion.  I should be able to tell a less "theoretic" and more concrete account soon.

Pro running sponsorship? Not that you will tell me if it is...

Forks in life's road--definitely good times of spiritual reflection and soul-searching. I'm sure y'all will do the right thing!

I'm thinking you were on the top of a pseudo-summit. The view will be much more beautiful if you keep climbing. Sorry about the glitches. Owning a small business can be SUPER stressful.

Good luck with the fork. Sometimes I wish I had the guts to start my own business. Other times I regret not having the guts to own my own business. But sometimes, I'm thankful for inspiration from people like yourself...

Good luck these next few days with life! I'm still so inspired by your fantastic race last weekend -thanks for being great!
