That feels good....
The tour is over for me. Zach and Shannon are currently back in Seattle with the vehicles preparing to enjoy their Summer as well! I do miss them. They're such wonderful spirits and I wish them the best.
It's funny. I had a little hesitation prior to joining Run Happy Island on the road. Uplifting my entire livelihood to travel the country wasn't exactly in character for me. But now that it's over I can't possibly convey how thankful I am that I did, and that the offer was even extended to me. It really was life-changing, and eased any doubts I may have harbored about being able to be happy and content outside of the social bubble I had fabricated for myself here in San Diego. I think that's true of a lot of people - we get comfortable in familiarity: routines, places to-go, friends, and become hesitant to believe we'd survive without it all.
I don't have that doubt anymore. And because of that I feel like I am in an infinitely better position to enjoy life. And Brooks Running and Event Next I thank you for that the most.
Brooks Running is an amazing company. The passion its' employees extoll for running and the community permeates and manifest itself in its' products and the experiences it provides such as Run Happy Island! Really can't thank them enough for accommodating me.
This weekend I was able to help out at the Rock 'n' Roll San Diego expo. It felt like a big homecoming party for me! Such an amazing time. It was great to be back interacting with the San Diego running community plus all my friends who swung by!
In a couple weeks we'll get the word whether there will be a tour this Fall and or whether I'll be involved with it . Until then, I'll count my blessings for all that has happened so far. It's been a great a trip :)
Signing off.
