I can definitely relate. I like to have the focus of an event and when it's over, I feel a bit lost. While I don't have a lot of spare time, I LIKE having my weeks and months planned out. I also like having things to look forward to and, sometimes, obsess about.

This year I've signed up for a few things but when the marathon is over in October, I'm sure I'll go through a time of wondering what to do with myself.

Colby, I am thinking of running the half-marathon part of the Seattle Marathon Since I'm running the Portland Marathon in October, I think doing another one in November might be a bit much but I'd really like to participate and I like the half distance.

I'm already looking toward next year. I think I will work on swimming during the winter (of course I said that last year and didn't) and maybe think about finding an Oly tri. I'm thinking I'd like to make my way up to a HIM. So maybe that's how I get through the feeling lost period...I sign up for something else It's a strange kind of addiction, isn't it.
