Forrest Gump<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\nWith the world at my feet, and infinite time to spare after retiring from running, what do I do now?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Time to start blogging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Running gave me a lot. At times it made me feel like there\u2019s nothing out there I couldn\u2019t do. As if whatever I wanted to accomplish, I could do it if I just put my mind to it. But more importantly, it taught me that nothing happens overnight. Every journey starts with a first step, and continues with the next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019ve always wanted to be a writer. But I\u2019ve always put it off. There\u2019s always been something that\u2019s not quite right for me to start pursuing writing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI haven\u2019t quite nailed down exactly what I want to write about just yet.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cOnce I\u2019ve read these thirty books on how to write I\u2019ll be ready to go.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cI need to get a degree in journalism first, then I\u2019ll become a proper writer and can start writing proper things.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nYou don\u2019t go to school and pursue a degree to become a runner. You just go for a run today. And instead of obsessing about trying to learn the theory behind the perfect biomechanics of running, you go run again tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So now I blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I honestly have no idea where I will go with this thing. And that\u2019s the point. The idea is to just write, and then, eventually \u2014 maybe (hopefully) \u2014 I\u2019ll one day become a writer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
