On holiday during August a friend told me that talking about something makes it more real.  I was talking to him about running the trans-alpine run, next September.  It is a 300km race across the European Alps that takes place over eight days.  Basically it is about a marathon a day at altitude.  I realised that what he was saying was true, talking about things did make them more real.  Having never run a marathon before I started to plan out my training regime.

So, in the vein of making things more real, I am now going to talk about re-doing the design of this blog.  I want to re-design it into three columns: thinking; reading; and hearing & seeing.  Although I go through waves of why I want to keep a blog it seems that I never focus on one particular area or topic.  This means that I either have a.d.d. or I just haven’t focused on what I want the blog to achieve.  It would appear that it has taken a year to get to this point, and I am OK with that

So, right now I hope to re-design the blog over the next few weeks while keeping up with other projects.  Especially after seeing this particularly inspirational video today.  Try to stay with it, I know he seems arrogant and annoying but it is worth watching.
