The Reality of my Situation...
Hi. I've thought about all the angles I could take on posting about this, and I've sorta come up with the following...
Approximately three weeks ago, I got a big slap in the face of a family member's serious health diagnosis. And it sucked. big time. But then we learned a lot more about it from doctors and felt much better about it's prognosis. My family member's game plan was to have surgery this week, move on with a few rounds of further treatment, and all would be good.
Well, we've learned our case won't be that simple.
It's going to be more involved than that. By how much, I don't know. But I do know the rules of the game have changed, and my responsibilities as Supporting Role have most likely increased tenfold.
So what does this all mean? Well, outside of figuring out my own newly bestowed health risks, I'm need to shift my energy and balance out a new plan of where it needs to go.
And more of me needs to go towards my new Supporting Role. So I need to take a lil' bit of time away from here and there to make it happen. So what that looks like is a bit less training, blog writing, coaching/career, and social stuff.
So you most likely won't be seeing me as much of me in the bloggy neighborhood (and it's the reason why I haven't been around for a while). But don't get me wrong! I will definitely still post and read blogs a bit, but I most likely won't have the gusto to be an active Runner/Tri Bloggy member for a while.
And if this post seems at all secret code or what not, it's because we're still in the initial phases of it all, and that's just where I am with it:)
I truly rely on this blog and the blog community for support, and I know I have it from you. I am still around, just not on a daily basis for a while. Peace out!;-)
