Well ... shit.

After 365 episodes, Lucho and Tawnee are calling it.












I listen to a good number of podcasts.  Most of them are business/work related.  A couple of news/financial ones.  Jocko as a general improvement one.  I have tried listening to some training and running podcasts, but this is the only one I have ever really listened to.  I have heard every episode - usually over a run, sometimes over yard work.  It just worked for me.  I didn't agree with every tenant of training they shared, but I mostly did - and I really found their broader philosophy to be on the mark.  I enjoyed listening to their victories, their setbacks, the shift in their viewpoints, and their growth as podcasters and people.  

My knee is screwed enough (left side) that I am deciding to take a few days off.  It is one of those annoying injuries:  I CAN RUN.  But when I do, I am jacked and gimping on it - visibly enough for others to notice.  There is enough swelling on the knee that it is noticeably larger than the other one.  I'll see if I can get ahead of this one before wrecking myself to require a 3 months off.  

Bunch of transitions going on for me now in life as well.  I am shifting up the work situation.  I am going to be dropping from the band that I am in.  And I am backing off the high school coaching.  All of these are the right choice, and ones that I am mostly happy with.  There is a bit of that, "well ... shit" sort of thing with each of them for what I am leaving behind, but it they are each the right one to make in light of life, priorities, and the next chapter.  I am genuinely happy for what I am choosing instead while being a bit misty eyed at what was.  Both things can be true.  Doors close, doors open.
