Yesterday when asked how I was doing, I replied that I'm working a lot and running a lot, in essence I guess I'm "Living The Dream". This resulted in what sounded like doubt from the questioner.The follow up question was "Are you really?" as if maybe I was joking or being sarcastic. No I assured them, I'm happy, healthy, and busy. What more could I want?
What kinda question is that? And maybe it's less the question and more the tone behind it. The doubt. As if to ask, working and running--is that really the dream?
Well, to be honest, the 'working' part is really not the career I'm referring too but rather that I'm busy with stuff to do. Whether it's lab or house or dog or errands, I'm a busy bee.
For me, busy = happy. So does running. Running/training/racing/planning, it's all the same.
So when I think about it, YES I AM living the dream. And I encourage you to live yours as well.
