So true. I felt a period of depression after running my first (and only) marathon. I just thought with these two particular 'goals' that they were more 'milestones' that would drive me to further 'success' in those areas. Especially when it comes to my career.

I had put my career goals on hold for the last couple of years and enjoyed experiencing less stress and all the perks of a lower-level job: working from home, flexible hours, etc. I was bored out of my tree with the work, but the benefits were great. This promotion came out of nowhere. I'm a bit shocked that I've been on the job for 6 weeks, loving the work and yet I'm daydreaming about new (and less lucrative) careers.

I think that after this fall I'm going to let racing go for awhile. I'm a sponsored rider on a team this year so I need to make a minimal attempt at training and racing for a little longer . . . Sigh.
