when birds attack

hey...i had to do something to get your attention, huh :)

just quick stopping by with a little update.  as some may know i have been on a bit of a health journey over the past nine months.  not due to any extreme health concerns, but just because i knew i was going down an unhealthy path with my weight and eating habits and one shouldn't be about to pass out after coaching a soccer practice :)

i have become a runner.  i have participated in five races over the past six months and i am currently training to run my first marathon in the fall.  i have dropped 38 pounds and have been continuing to work on a much better way of eating.

that being said i have put a lot of focused energy on a healthier lifestyle and that has cut in a bit on my online time.  i do plan on getting back to some of my favorite pods and connections here again in the future as i slowly create balance in all areas of my life...which there are still many other areas that need balancing.

so what about these birds?  well i did a 12 mile training run yesterday down a great country road between my town and another and i had three different blackbird attacks during the run, one that was within about 5 feet of me and followed me for about a quarter mile.  ah, the excitement of a country run :)

see you all soon...
