Thank you all for your wonderful comments! I have been busy with writing, as usual. On a good note, my knees feel wonderful! They haven't bothered me at all. Of course I haven't run yet, but the roommate and I promised each other we wouldn't run until next week.
This past weekend was my first time standing on the sidelines at a race. I cheered on Diane as she ran a 5K supporting breast cancer survivors and research. I even made a sign and took pictures. It was fantastic! I really wanted to run, but it felt good to be the cheerleader for once. After that last half marathon, I really have a greater appreciation for spectators!
I hope that everyone is doing great! Oh, and for those who haven't given up soda, I recommend that new Dr. Pepper! It tastes like a cherry tootsie pop!!
This blog was started as a way of keeping myself motivated to keep working out, and the blog has been successful in that aspect. I started running in 2007, and it really has transformed my life. I have discovered so many inspiring individuals through the "blog world" and many delicious recipes. I use this blog to keep track of my training and write about the fun things in life. Keep checking back to read about my training for my first marathon, in February 2011.
yum tootsie pop soda! As if I didn't already have a bad enough addiction to diet pop!!! haha.
ReplyDeleteI gave up soda, however, I still look for this dr pepper anomaly every time I'm out to the shop. I seriously wish it was mainstream :-(.
ReplyDeleteThat's great that you supported your friend! I'm sure she appreciated it too....;0)
ReplyDeleteNew Dr. Pepper?!? Man, I miss America. I haven't had Dr. Pepper in 2 years. :(
ReplyDeleteCongratu;lations on your first half. Your profile says you'd like to run a full marathon some day. My suggestion: run a few more halfs and shorter races first. Your knee problems could be due to the fact that you are arelatively new runner and your muscles still need to get strong to run injury-free. Jumping in to a marathon to soon could sideline you. Also, get some nutritional advice: Crystal Light is not a sports drink. You're a scrawny girl, so why all the diet soda?
ReplyDeleteHello!
ReplyDeleteI am a Blogger and web developer (and artist) who has been trying to improve the blogosphere for Bloggers. The problem? Too many irrelevant press releases. Also, hard to make money.
So I invented Blogio, which is a pipeline between marketers & bloggers. The idea is to let marketers choose their niche and write RELEVANT material that bloggers might care about. Also, share the revenue with the Bloggers.
This week, we (finally) officially launched. We’re testing this new concept to see if it works. So, we have our first half dozen orders from marketers. And your blog happens to be in a niche requested by one of these marketers.
I’m asking you to take a look at Blogio. If you like what you see, open an account (there is no charge) and expect good, relevant content from Blogio. If you don’t like what you see – well, I tried. (Your comments & suggestions are welcome).
