As some of you may remember, you have to subscribe to my blog to get it in your email. I am guessing some of you were surprised to see it pop up and some of you may have no idea I am blogging again.
On today's run, I mentioned to BRF#1 that I was blogging. Or, at least, that I wrote two new ones and will probably write more. She didn't know I had published two, and that got us talking about me writing again.
She said she was going to read some of the past blogs, kiddingly saying, "to remember that I used to run."
I told her that I read a bunch just to remember also. It was great going down memory lane. The good, the bad and the GREAT! I said I laughed and cried a little reading some of the past blogs. Then I said, I was funny at times, emotional at times, and victorious at times. Wow, I loved that. That prompted me to tell her that will be the name of my next blog. We laughed, and then BRF#1, who knew I may forget what I just said, took out her phone and voiced texted those words to me.
Why do we blog? For me, it was a few things. I wanted to keep a sort of diary of all the things I was doing as a mother, runner, person. I was never good at writing, or keeping track of my daily activities. However, blogging and publishing some of my thoughts got other people involved and it was more of a conversation for me. I am a social person, I love to be around people, so this seemed more natural to me.
I never really thought that anyone would actually read it. I figured my mom would and a few friends, but I eventually had people reading from all over the world. I was shocked! I especially loved reading your comments. I even made real life friends because of them. Beth was one of them. I miss her.
I guess blogging opened up my world a bit. I like that. I'm not sure that I will reach the same amount of people as a few years ago, and that isn't really why I want to blog. None the less, if you come back, I would be honored.
BRF#1 and I ran just finished up 4.17 miles. They were great miles. Happy to be with her. Very happy that she knows me well enough to text me the thoughts I have on my runs. You know, just in case I forget, which I did. She has my back. I have hers. That's all I have to say about that.
