The blog is back (maybe)
After finally publishing my final trip pictures last summer, I let the One-Track Road slip into hiatus. That is because it's hard to write about traveling in England when you're not actually in England. (How many times can you complain about the exchange rate?) Instead, I found myself writing more about running. So, eventually, I started a running blog.
But I still think a lot about England. In fact, I think about England a lot when I am running! For months after the trip, I could get through several miles just reliving the story of the trip. Sometimes I alternate with thinking about potential future trips.
Recently, thoughts of England have been on my mind and have even infiltrated my running blog. For example, I recently determined that I must go to London for the 2012 Olympics. Further, I announced that if I ever run the London Marathon, I am going to stay at Brown's Hotel! (Both fantasies are too remote to worry about.)
But one fantasy that is not completely remote is my plan to run in the Bath Half-Marathon next spring. The reason there is no link to that is because the 2009 race information is not available yet. I have been checking almost every day to make sure I don't miss open registration! So until I actually get registered, this too is only a fantasy. But one that just may come true.
