I could not imagine going through life without being passionate about something. So many dreary souls in the world, clocking in and clocking out - they have no passion. You know the type, heck perhaps you are the type, the person who has no passion is in a perpetual state of unhappiness. That misery is reflected in their actions and others pick up on it. In effect, the miserable person is a mirror of their own misery. Worse yet, it's contagious. How many times have you been around an unhappy person, only to find yourself starting to feel that same unhappiness? You get what you give. If you're grumpy all time, well people around will have a tendancy to be grumpy too - it becomes a self fullfilling prophecy.
Get a passion. Pursue it with all your heart, learn from it, if you are lucky, maybe teach others. I'm not saying you have to go do an Ironman or anything, but get out and try something and really delve into it. Of course don't let it interfere with friends, family and commitments. If you have passion, you also need balance. I'll talk about balance another day. That's enough philosophizing for one day. :)
Today, I did an easy run on the trails! I hadn't planned to hit the trails, but I was running by a Bruce Trail access point and said what the heck - I yinged intstead of yanged. Running the trails today made me realize how much I miss it. So today, I vowed to incorporate more trail running in my regime. It's also noticeably easier on the joints, so I'm sure the body will thank for me that. Total distance was roughly 8k.
I also hit the pool today. It's been 2 weeks since my last swim, so I was feeling a little rusty. I figure it's about time to start bringing my swimming up to speed. I did have a good workout though - check my main set out:
20X 200m on 3:15 Fun stuff.
8X 100m drills
200 easy.
Total was 5000m. Any day I log 5k in the pool is a good day. Cheers.

That's deep Darren. ON the drive to work this morning, I wonder what is it like to have no passion. The only thing some ppl look forward everyday is 5 pm going home and watch tv. Go to sleep and get up the next day. Sometimes it is good to relax in fornt of the tv. But i never find self fulfilment that way. I think some ppl don't know what's passion is about. They heard about it. They know the word. But thye never feel it. To them, the best part of life is sleeping and watching TV....
I look forward on riding with u :)
