Eliterunning Will Be Back Mid-September, Early October
I apologize for taking several weeks to write this; for those of you still checking the site for regular news updates, blog updates and interviews, I sincerely apologize for the recent silence. After a very brave and courageous battle with heart and skin cancer, I lost my 7 year-old dog, Ajax (see photo to your left). Taking care of Ajax over the final weeks of his life (while also working full-time) consumed all of my time and energy . . . as a result, I put Eliterunning on the back-burner. Ajax was our “heart dog” – the one dog that we will always carry a hole in our hearts for. Throughout his life – a life that was cut too short – he was a tremendously powerful and fast runner – he would have made all of Eliterunning’s fans proud! :-)
As of today, I am also less than 5 weeks away from welcoming my first child into the world. I have a lot of work to finish over the next few weeks before my son arrives so I will once again have to put Eliterunning on hold. However, I am excited to announce plans to continue updating Eliterunning beginning in Mid-September, early October – just in time for the fall marathon racing season!
I have missed interviewing athletes and updating the site more than I can express in words – I am very much looking forward to diving back in soon. In the meantime, if you have any suggestions for the site, or requests for athletes you would like see interviewed, feel free to email me at eliterunning1 (at) gmail (dot) com.
Happy running to all!
Bridget
Bridget-
I’m so excited for you- just 5 weeks! :)
Also, I’m very sorry about your dog- he sounds pretty special. Hope to see you passing me on the trails with the baby jogger very soon!! :)
Love, Meg
i love your site and have followed for a while. the work you do is awesome! but you are showing what true life brings…happiness and sorrow; as one door closes another is opening…it’s truly amazing the experiences I have had with life and death happening within days even minutes of each other. God had a reason for this, as you are saddened by the loss of your dog, you get to replace that with the birth of new life, a child!
Best of luck to you on your journey and will check back in the fall!
Bridget- I’m so sorry to hear about the loss of Ajax. I know that must have been such a difficult time for you, but I’m sure Ajax was so lucky and grateful to have you by his side during that time. I’m wishing you joy and happiness on the upcoming arrival of your baby and the wonderful, cray world that is mommyhood! Looking forward to catching up with Eliterunning when you come back.
