Today marks two years since I started blogging! Woah-za. Happy birthday Blog!
I started this two years ago as a way to hold myself accountable for a goal I was setting (to run the Philly Half in 9/2010 for Hole in the Wall) and to track my progress, which I'm SO glad I did. I'm annoyingly into "running as a metaphor," but it's because it has had a huge impact on my outlook, my attitude, and my self-esteem.
Since I decided to start intentionally running and blogging about it right around my birthday, I appreciate the chance the reflect around this time of year. Thinking about running and all its related metaphors helps to remind me that we can do most anything we set our minds to! It's cheesy, but if running has taught me anything, it's how mental life is, how much our attitude dictates what happens to us, or at least the experience we have. We can't change the things around us, but we have 100% control over ourselves and the attitude we have.
In Denver last week, Lani gave me my birthday present from my home friends, which included one of the coolest presents I have ever received - my blog as a book! I am an author (of a rare, 1-copy book)! It felt so great to hold it in my hands, to flip through and see some of my favorite pictures of favorite people/places. I LOVE IT - thanks A2BMS2 (an acronym I just made up)!
