A Very Quiet Little Announcement

I don't want to say this too loudly in case my knees hear me and decide to spontaneously explode, but...

I did Hal Higdon's 30/30 plan two days in a row.

If you're reading this and you know what that means, you're probably named Emilie and you deserve my thanks for finally getting me moving.

If you're not Emilie, check out her blog. I can pretty much guarantee you'll be inspired.

PS: Em, do you wear the Tiffany necklace to the gym? 'cause I think I would!!

I LLLLLOOOOOOOVVVVVVE IT! (I wondered when you were going to join me!). So, when is your first race, girl? oh wait... let's do one together.

Yes, I wear the Tiffany necklace everywhere. I haven't taken it off since.

I'm going to keep bugging you about this running thing. YOU GO!

So why is the world's worst correspondent starting a blog???

I can't handle Facebook--it's information [I use the term loosely] overload and (on the rare occasions that I actually look at it) I end up in complete social networking paralysis--but Emilie has this adorable, funny, thought-provoking, quietly inspiring little blog and I've been itching to try my hand. I used to write stuff. Here's my chance to compose little anecdotes and feel like I'm being communicative even if I am using it as an excuse to sit all alone in a book-lined study. If nothing else, some of those digital pictures of which I am so proud might finally find a home where people will actually see them. And maybe, just maybe, something will be posted here that makes someone laugh, or smile, or cry, or feel a renewed sense of wonder or love or self-worth or perspective...just like Emilie's blog does for me. But probably I'll mostly just talk about food.
