Welcome Dapperdame

I see I have a new "official" follower - Dapperdame. Yes, I know there are more than 4 people who follow this blog, but only four have signed up to "follow" me. You can do this if you have a Google, Twitter or Yahoo account just by clicking on the 'Follow" button above "followers". Hey, if my old, retired boss (I Love ya Tim!) can do it, so can you!

Talk is beginning about the 2011 season. Lots of newbies saying they are going to give the Green Bay Cellcom MARATHON a try! Gets me nervous (I was going to say excited, but I know where some of your minds will go) just thinking about it. And admittedly, a bit envious. The social butterfly in me just wants to burst out of my marathon boycott cocoon and flit along with them. My boycott of marathons until Disney in 2012 is self induced and I know in my hearts of hearts (and my feet, ankles and knees) that it is the right thing for me to do. But for some reason I get the marathon itch when I listen to nervous and excited (rightly so!) newbies talk about it. Although I also know what a good feeling it is to only have to run 1.5 hours when they are running 3! Not that I would ever rub it in!

What races are YOU thinking about running in 2011?

    Wow, thanks for such a warm welcome :) I have only signed up for one race so far this year, my first half marathon in Ottawa on Feb 20th (the Winterman). It really should be winterperson but fine. I'd like to do a few 5kms but I will be traveling in Africa this summer so I don't really know how to plan my running around that.

    And now I just blabbed lol. Cheers!

    Old as in "aged" or as in "former"?!? I might be joining you in Disney in 2012. I was supposed to be running it this weekend but unforseen work commitments (I'm not really retired) and other personal issues forced me to back out this year. I will probably run Grandma's in Duluth (just can't stay away)and either Chicago this fall or Disney in 2012. I need to get as many marathons as I can under my belt before I'm too "old" to run them. Take care, enjoying your blog!
