300!!

No, not the movie…

Welcome to my 300th blog post!!  Yes I realize it’s taken me a while to get here due to taking some time off from blogging in the past two years, but “Yo, Adrian, I did it!!”  ;)

So how am I celebrating??

I knew yesterday that my next post was going to be #300 so I ran 3.00 miles (I did end up tacking on .05 to the end, but 3.00 sounds cooler!) ;)  I would’ve run 300 miles, but if you read my last post on my knee pain you know it’s been slow going and low miles lately!

I also got my 300th blog follower yesterday and went over to 301 today! 
Welcome to my new friends!! :)

It’s crazy to think I started this blog back in August of 2010 to keep track of my training for my first half marathon and get support and advice from fellow runners!  You all have made me feel so much a part of the running and blogging community and I appreciate each and every one of you!!!  Keep inspiring and keep doing what you are doing! 

You all rock and are 300 types of awesome! :)

Wanted: Thoughts and Opinions

I’m not clever by any means, but I thought that with all my time spent at work, I’d “blog” on paper on my break and then just retype it when I got home so I could save some time and be able to do other things in the evening… genius right?!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

One of the radio stations I usually listen to is playing Christmas music.  Not only on weekends, but 24/7!  Don’t get me wrong… Christmas is my most favorite holiday, but I do not listen to Christmas music until Thanksgiving OR the first snow.  (Whichever comes first)  With 72 degree, sunny weather, it’s hard to even think about snow!  BUT… all the Christmas music and holiday store decor has got me thinkin’.

In the knitting community (yes, I knit AND crochet… lay off the old lady jokes) we do these things called swaps.  They usually have a theme and a price limit and then everyone gets partnered up and they send each other goodies.  Seriously… this is a HUGE deal on Ravelry!!** 

So I figured, why not try out a little swap-like action in the running community?!  My idea is to “swap” Christmas cards…  Depending on how many participants we had, I would break it up into groups and everyone in that group would send everyone else in their group a Christmas card.  That’s why I want your thoughts… I would love to hear if you all would be interested in doing something like this or if you think it’s kind of stupid…  If I get atleast 5 people that say they’re interested I’ll go ahead and get the details put together and make it official.

So… What do you think?
