This week marks the one year anniversary of my blog. I must admit, it is something that still surprises me at times. Blogging was never something I considered before my wife suggested it while she was on maternity leave.

Starting a blog of her own became one of her projects to stay busy while she was at home and after she got going she suggested the idea of a running blog for myself.

At first I was not sure what I would write about to keep a blog going for an extended period. I still do find myself suffering from writer’s block at times but I have also found that ideas for new posts sometimes come to me when I least expect them such as late at night or while I am running home.

For me the biggest benefit so far has been that the search for new topics to write about has helped my own running as I have found myself exploring issues I had not previously taken an interest in.

I hope you have enjoyed reading about my adventures so far and will continue to follow as I continue on my quest to qualify for the Boston Marathon!
