Saying Goodbye to an old Friend
Having a ton of time on my hands recently due to my recovery from surgery, I’ve given a lot of thought about what I’m going to do when I fully recover. I have plans that right now seem both huge and minuscule at the same time, if

that’s possible to understand. I want to do things that seem so unattainable right now (the huge part) but at the same time I know it takes daily dedication (the minuscule) to make it all work.
If you’ve been following along you know I’ve recently entered the 2010 Walt Disney World Marathon where I plan to run the full distance of 26.2 miles. In my recent training the most I’ve run so far is 9 miles, so I have quite a ways to go and 13 weeks to get there. Having been laid out for the last week and this coming week recovering from surgery, my outlook is a bit dim right now but I haven’t quit. It’s just hard to think positively right now when I’m unable to train and feel like a failure. Don’t count me out though, just feeling down and being honest about it.
Given all of this I felt a change was due. I decided the direction of my writing was changing into more of a personal journal instead of the directionless focus it had initially back in May of 2008 when I first started writing. I often felt it wasn’t fair that I wrote about my running and training when this was supposed to be about our family. People I asked to subscribe to the blog are friends and family and I felt over time that I misled you all into reading a blog about the Diets family when it started turning into the Quinton blog instead.
So as of today this website will be phased out and a new one will rise in it’s place. A website about my personal journey, a bit about my past and also what I’m going through as I attempt to take on some huge physical challenges and life changes. I really have no idea what I’m in for but I’m positive it’s going to be a fun, exciting and challenging ride.
So I ask you, if you’re interested in reading about my journey, or you’re interested in helping in any way please visit my new website, signup for the updates and enjoy the trip. I promise to make it fun and who knows it may even encourage you to do the same. At the very least and most importantly I could use some cheerleaders, something we could all actually use more of. The address to the new website is – QuintonDiets.com I hope to see you all there!
Be good to each other!
