On the Horizon...just past the hills

Something big is happening. I can't talk too much about it now. Maybe next week. Anyway, I was reading an article from the Chicago Tribune on Theo Epstein, the Chicago Cubs' new President of Baseball Operations. Theo had a quote that stuck with me. 
"Football legend Bill Walsh used to say that coaches and executives should seek change after 10 years with the same team. The theory is that both the individual and the organization benefit from a change after so much time together. The executive gets rebirth and the energy that comes with a new challenge; the organization gets a fresh perspective, and the chance for true change that comes with new leadership. This idea resonated with me. Although I tried my best to fight it, I couldn’t escape the conclusion that both the Red Sox and I would benefit from a change sometime soon." 
Change is a good thing. Right now I feel an energy I haven't felt since I did my first half Ironman back in 2010. A big change is coming for me. Though this upcoming challenge can be just as long if not longer then a 70.3 Triathlon.
