I'm sure you guys are wondering why I dropped off the face of the earth. I bet you are thinking that the dude has gained back all of his weight or maybe he broke his leg and is out of comission or maybe you're thinking, "I don't give a crap!" Most of the time when weightloss/runners/healthy "bloggers" stop blogging is because they fell off the wagon and start shoving food in there face. Not here friend! I just had a bit of burnout on training and blogging about training and needed a break. Nothing personal.
Maybe I am loved because I recieve continuous emails saying, "where are you Dave?" Thanks for the love!
So, I'm still eating healthy, I'm still running, still training for the occasional race. In fact, I have run in 3 races in the past 6 weeks and PR'd all of them. I've lowered my 5K by 30 seconds to the 27ish.., and my 10K by 2 minutes to the high 56's . When 10 min/miles used to be a BIG goal ,now it's about breaking the 9 min barrier. There is some progress there, but still slow and cumbersome. haha I also ran my first trail race. Wow, what a challenge! 4 miles of sliding-feet, hopping, skipping, and jumping of glorious fun!
Life is busy, summer is here. A few smaller races are in order, but I don't have any bigger race plans until Disney World half marathon in Jan 2010(already signed up). I am contemplating running the ING Philadelphia Distance Run in September or the Baltimore Half in October. Those last 2 are big maybe's?
Since I have declared my blogging is back in order, I am looking forward to visiting "ya-ll" to find out what the heck has been going on.
Peace

Glad to see you are back. You can certainly get burned out from blogging. A break is needed every now and then!
Oh, it's nice to have you back!!! Don't burn yourself out, but don't go into hiding again!
Welcome back! Are you still going to do any Triathlons?
Welcome back! Sounds like you're kicking race butt in 2009.
Nice to hear that you've been out PRing, and love that you're back to blogging :)
Yes, we all go through those lack of bloggy moments, but some of us (ehemmm) give notice. LOL...
Welcome "home", glad you're back!
welcome back, stopped by your blog the other day to make sure my feeder just wasn't updating you anymore! Congrats on your PR's! Glad you've stuck with your goals, well done!
Always good to see a fellow blogger post! Glad things are going good for you!
Glad to see you are back!
Well it's about dang time! ;u) I was getting ready to personally come down to the hills myself just to be sure some elk didn't get you! Nice job on all the PRs and awesome progress! No I guess my little running vaca is over...SuperDave is back and cuttin' NO slack!
Saw you on Buckeye, but that's all. Glad to have you back! My normal bloggers aren't blogging lately.
Welcome back to the land of blogging!
Welcome back, buddy!!! Glad to hear you're still in the game! :)
Glad your back. Great job on your PR's.
Dave! That is all VERY VERY good news to hear =) Glad to have you back!
Welcome back dude. I miss ya. It has been awhile. It is good to have you back. Sounds like you are really kicking a$$. Awesome !!!
Psst... sign up for Philadelphia Distance Run. You are going to love it.
LOL I just left a message on your facebook saying how you haven't blogged in like forever and here you are blogging!!! :O)
Glad to hear your OK bro! Your running has improved so much. I am very proud of you and your accomplishments!!!
You maybe may run Philly distance?? I am thinking the same thing. A very maybe maybe. But who knows, if we both decide to maybe run it, maybe we can maybe say hi!!! :O)
I just got back from a mini-break myself - I hear you on the burn-out.
OHHHHHHH! PLEASE do the PDR!!! I'll see you there!
Glad to see that you didn’t disappear completely. Breaking the 10 min barier is a huge deal – great work. Breaking the 9 min barrier is just as sweet.
welcome back~
it is such a fine line to walk huh? always skirting burnout IMO...
Welcome back to Blogger Land. Glad to hear you're still doing well!
Glad you're back and all is well! It's July. Where's the new post? LOL!!! Just kidding! Your race times are looking awesome man. Sign up for one of those fall races you mentioned. You'll kick butt!
Just came across your blog. I think you are doing GREAT things! My daughter and i are doing the San Antonio Rock and Roll Half in November. Just wanted to say hi to a fellow runner.
May the road bow down at your feet and the wind be swift and strong at your back..........:) Jinx!
Welcome back and I totally understand about blogger burnout!
I am glad you kept up your training and kept your weight down. I didn't. I am hoping the blogosphere can help me get back on track.
