2011
This blogpost is the first of what I will start calling as "HFNL blog appendage".
In the blogpost When A Look Back Year, Fuels the Future - the blog to which this post is an appendage to - I wrote summaries for each of my running year.
The blog had brief summaries of 2011-2014, as my effort to break down what for me seems to always be a mammoth project: writing all untold HFNL running stories. This will be the foundation to a book project. A childhood dream.
I have mentioned it in previous blogs but for the sake of new readers and followers, I would like to write this fyi, here again:
most of my blogs are published even if they are in their raw form and I often edit it many times (adding links, details I forgot or editing text for improvement & better comprehension).
My blog, I greet you randomly, 2015! helped me continue in this blogging style because it is what works for me as a storyteller, even if it removes me from what one can define as mainstream blogging.
In writing that blog, I've come to realize again: it is I who stand in my own way of "story telling". Story telling is something that gives me joy if I simply let myself do it freely. I also stand in my way of realising my potential to be a better runner for the very same reason - I block myself from running.
I look back with gratefulness to the past 3 running years, and this grateful heart will fuel this new running year and the other years to come. I might not be the fastest nor the strongest but I am a definitely a runner, who is determined to be better each (slow!) step of the way.
Hopefully, my stories will contribue to your (running) beginnings or perhaps even it's revival.
