Good morning. I have not even attempted to write a blog in about two months. I'm not entirely sure why that is, but I know you cannot force writing when you don't feel up to it. Actually, running has been pretty spotty as well so far in 2012. I just have not felt that inner drive to get ready to race. However, that drive is burning today because as I looked at the calendar and saw it was April 1st I just felt like it was time to get going. So...I ran four miles, completed my strength training and decided to write a short blog.
March was a spectacular month! Lots of good things happening for Sarah, Myles and I. Sarah matched dermatology for residency here in Indianapolis. Matching in derm is such a tough thing to do and I'm so proud of Sarah for being able to do that. Additionally, there are some cool things going on at my job that I'm excited about. Finally, Sarah and I are looking at our housing options here in Indy and there could be some big news on that front here very soon. So...despite not running all that much, my life is very full and blessed.
Indiana had a great basketball season that only leaves optimism for the future. Coach Tom Crean finally has Indiana rebuilt to compete with anyone in the country. In Indiana, we really appreciate the way he is doing it and it's easy to love this team. While we came up a bit short in the Sweet 16, we did go down swinging to a UK team that has six NBA players on it. If UK goes on to win the NCAA Title, which seems highly likely, we will be one of two teams that beat them this year. While that is no reason to hang a banner, it does confirm that Indiana can indeed beat any team. Great thing about the Indiana approach is that the majority of our players--most likely all five starters--will return. And...we add a top 5 recruiting class. It won't be long until the next NCAA Banner is hung in Assembly Hall.
So...I'll try to blog more over the next few months as time allows and as blog worthy events occur. Until next time, happy running to you...
