Step One

June 9, 2007

So finally my deep seated opposition to writing a blog has fallen.  Yes, that’s right, I finally found a reason.  Why Short Man Running?  I always thought my blog would be about gaming (and at one time I even wrote a few reviews) or poker (too many of those now), so why running?  For me, it is a combination motivational tool, and just a good place to write, vent, and share how running fits (and will be fitting) into my life.  A long long time ago (over half a decade) I loved to run, and even attempted Cross Country running in college, but to no avail, shin splints killed my every effort to run on anything but a treadmill.  Now several years older, better prepared, and better equipped I have begun again.  This time, I don’t plan to stop, just 1000 miles to go, I hope you enjoy reading about the journey, because for me, that is the point after all.

    Woo! First!

    I am shocked that you are blogging now, but honestly, I will be even *more* shocked if you actually CONTINUE blogging for more than a few posts.

    As with Body for Life, the 3 week mark is the hump. If you can make it past that, you will be fine. :-)

    Thanks for the link — I will link you back!

    The whole point behind keeping a blog is UPDATING it. Alas, I am not surprised at your slacking. If you look just above, you will see that I predicted this turn of events 9 days ago.
