After being in the blog world for almost 2 months now, I have visited quite a few of your pages. I noticed that my background and layout are seriously lacking. Any suggestions on good websites for free blogger templates? My last green/blue pattern was free and I edited some of the code, but I am SERIOUSLY a beginner. Please send suggestions if you have any! I might even pay to have it done if I cant figure it out (I like the designs from this blog).
While visiting other blogs, I came across a design blog that linked to this page. When I saw this print I immediately thought of running:
I have to say that in the past few months, I have done just that. Im actually doing what I love, and really enjoying myself. Running has gone from a chore to something that I look forward to. I also love this little blogging community I've found online. I never knew this was here a few months ago, and I's so glad I found you guys! **Okay, enough with the sappy stuff!
I read a post from Kerrie over at Mom vs Marathon yesterday where she mentioned that a co-worker called her a runner (congrats!!). Since viewing her post, I had 2 people mention running to me as well. One was while I was walking through work catching up with another employee. I haven't seen him for awhile, and asked me how my running was going. I must have looked a bit confused, because then he mentioned that all he sees me post on Facebook are the many races I have signed up for, and my long runs on the weekends. He called me a "marathoner" but I quickly said I was only a "half marathoner." He said I was crazy for running that much but I just beamed.
The other time was last night. A friend stopped by while I was running on the dreadmill. I haven't seen him in a few months, but he quickly asked what I had been doing BESIDES running lately. He also said that I was running a ton of miles. Honestly, I don't think they know how happy that made me. I was always somewhat athletic growing up, but I was never acknowledged for any sports achievement. I was pretty proud :)
Has anyone called YOU a runner lately??
Last nights workout: 5 miles on the dreadmill @ 8.57/mile pace. Its getting easier!! :) TGIF!!
My coworkers always call me the runner. It is kind of fun :-) They always come up to me to tell me how far they went and how far they are coming on their journey. I hope that you have a great weekend!

ReplyDeleteHi Sarah,
ReplyDeleteI have only been blogging one month longer than you and I am not a computer geek...so I have nothing for you in terms of what to do with your blog:(
My daughter calls me a runner all of the time and I love it:) When she talks about me to her friends she always says, "My mom is a runner and she is always running!" My co-workers call me a runner too!! I love it...it is the biggest compliment:) Good job on your run and cheers to getting faster!! Happy Friday!!
Doesn't it just make you feel proud? :) Congrats! And thanks for the bloggy love!
ReplyDeleteMy students called me a runner :) It was cute. They also told me that I would kick the gym teachers butt in running, but little do they know that he ran in college
