Learning to (HEART) The Bay


I'm learning to like the Bay area.

And I don't generally respond well to a change in routine. Change in my training routine. Change in scenery. Waking up late. Not so good for Jason.

Having left Boulder, Co, a little over 2 years ago, you'd think I would have long since adapted to life back in California. That hasn't been the case, and there have been many long hours wondering whether this has been the correct decision. Truthfully, I think at the end of my life I could look back and say that I may easily have taken two or three completely different paths and been equally happy. After many energy-sapping hours debating what to do about the above topic (which is not likely to change, oh, probably ever - and I won't get into at the present moment) I have come to two conclusions of which I am certain: the first is that running will forever be a part of my life; the second is that I cannot continue to be a spectator of motor racing. The beauty about running is that you can do it almost anywhere. The special part about the Bay Area is that I have three world-class racetracks within 2.5 hours of my home. And I fully intend to take advantage of this, because who knows when this might no longer be a luxury I can take advantage of.

This late-adopting technology stalwart is entering the blogosphere because unfortunately, as a result of his above characteristics, a lot of his close friends and family live nowhere near him and there simply is no way to communicate with everyone amidst the chaos of daily life. I am really enjoying my work, am growing and learning on a daily basis, and right now... honestly, I have absolutely no idea where it is going to lead me. The focus of these pages isn't going to be on work however. Hell, I already focus on that at least 10 hours a day, the last thing I want to do is spend more energy on it. You are, however, going to find a lot about two passions that presently mean more to me than anything.
