First Post

Here I go, entering the world of blogging. I am not sure where it will take me, but I am up for trying some thing new. It is almost the beginning of the New Year (2007) after all!

So, why am I trying this? My main reason is to see if this helps motivate me to maintain my fitness level (i.e. keep running and shed about 8 lbs). If I keep on posting you will know that it is working.

Second reason... just to try it. I hear so much about blogging and part of me wonders what the big deal is. After all it is just people expressing their own opinions, putting them on the web doesn't give them any expertise/authority. I have read several blogs and some do offer some great resources.

What will my blog do? Nothing - I think. I don't plan on making it a go to spot for other runners, parents, fitness enthusiasts etc, but I will post interesting information as I see it.

For the ladies out there, here is somethingthat I think will make you groan. It is an article that DH sent to me.
(Ah! First thing learned - how to embed links in text! - another reason to blog) Anyway, my response to my DH was "men get breast cancer too". Okay, that is enough for my first post... stay tuned for more!
