So I ran. May 12 2006
Today I ran. I didn’t go far. I certainly didn’t go fast. But I also didn’t walk up any (of the many many) hills. My foot f-ing hurts right now.
Anyway..I got this comment the other day from a blogger from way back, her names is Steffany and she has a weight loss blog that i thought she’d stopped updating. I’m pretty sure she takes back this entire comment now since my response to her was “oh my god! I remember you. I totally just deleted you from my blogroll” man i have a way with words. doy!
Anyway I am keeping her comment and sharing it with you all (we don’t say y’all in Canada eh) because it gave me the kick I needed.
Comment:
Pam, don’t stop running! I was a beginning runner when I started reading your blog, and you complete inspired me with your kick-ass attitude and zany cynicism. I know how you feel…I’ve had some ups and downs, but honestly, you were one of the original inspirers and I’ve never quit. Though it’s been a slow road, I just finished my first triathlon (haven’t updated my blog on that, fyi) and am training for a half-marathon in June. The point of all this is that if I can do it, you sure as heck can get right back to where you were in no time! Remember how much you inspired me!!!
Cynicism? I don’t know what she’s talking about.
Sounds like a cool person, but how can I add her to my Bloglines when she hasn’t updated since MARCH?
Here’s an idea, she can inspire you to run more often and maybe you can inspire her to update her blog more often. I wanna hear about that triathlon and her training for her upcoming half!
Cynical? Nawwwwww
Guilt! The great motivator!
ick-ass attitude? Sounds more like The Terminator .Running is good regardless of the distance.
doesnt that make you feel good?
You paid her didn’t you?
Oh, good grief…I’m blushing three shades of red about now. (Also feeling some residual guilt–I didn’t expect my lack of blogging to blow up like that!)
I’m so amazed by you, Pamela, it’s true. You never forget the people who first challenge you to become a better you. Thanks for the reminder that we help each other along. You’re awesome.
