Belated Bloggeversary

So, I completely missed my annual chance at narcissism – 21 April marked three years of my blogging about not running nearly as often as I should.

What have I learned in that time?
1) Wet cotton tees and humid days make bloody nipples
2) Running and eating crap keep you fat
3) It’s a lot easier to keep running when you know that people are checking up on you
4) There are fewer freaks on the internet than we’ve been lead to believe

Three years ago, I was starting out at about 190 lbs, where I’d been for about three years. I’ve been between 170 and 175 for the last 30 months, more or less. Back then, three miles was a stretch. Now, it’s a minimum. I’m two marathons, a handful of tris, and a bunch of shorter races to the better.

And a whole lot of inspiration from wonderful folks around the world.

You guys rock.

Dave, in the comments, mentions I’m not looking for freaks in the right places.  I suppose that I wasn’t specific enough – the RBF is full of running freaks. Maybe “creeps” would have been a better word?

I love you freaks.

  1. Congrats on 3 years :). However “there are fewer freaks on the internet” suggests to me you aren’t looking in the right places!

    Seriously, congrats.

  2. I am with you all the way on those observaions after three years. Although I must say the best motivator is having a training plan laid out for a race I have committed to. Without it I cheat myself of the running benefits.

  3. Hey, you rock. I read your article about the government and tax credits. Totally agree. My mom always taught us that eating and being healthy are cheaper. Pound for pound which is cheaper, a bag of salad or a bag of Doritos. I bought a whole fresh pineapple for the price of a bag of chips. The fruit will last me longer, taste better. Anyway thats a whole nother issue that gets me riled. Real, whole foods, not out of boxes and freezer sections are cheaper and healthier. I don’t think we should bring the governmet into any of the health arenas. If we take responsibility for our own lives it will reflect to others and we can model the good behaviors.

  4. Happy Blogiversary, Jank! Glad you are here!

    “2) Running and eating crap keep you fat”

    This one is the best kept secret of running. You can’t eat everything you want when you run. I learned that the hard way.

    Here’s to three more years of Jank!
