What would I do without Google?

Tonight a Google search led me to discover Runner's World (www.runnersworld.com) ... also known as my new favorite resource. What an incredible website (proof - there is an article entitled, "Happy Valentine's Day: Be Sure to Enjoy The Benefits of Chocolate")! With an article like that, I just had to join. There is just an abundance of information (training, nutrition, motivation ... basically everything I need to know). I plugged in some running numbers and they customized a running plan just for me (and it was free). Why didn't somebody tell me about this? As I was signing up, I thought, "I never imagined I'd be a member of Runner's World." It's kind of liberating to do things you never imagined you would (yes, for me, it was liberating to sign up for a runner's account - I take pride in everything).

Just discovering this new resource gave me a new sense of energy. I'm back in the game (it did help that I set a goal for myself on the treadmill tonight and accomplished it. It also helps that I know tomorrow is my "rest day" ... that always makes me feel better).

Thanks, Google! What would I do without you? (okay, I know ... I'd probably just watch more television).

  1. Google is very handy. I am happy for you that you found Runner's World. I hope it continues to help you. Reading all of this tonite....makes me admire you more than I ever have. You are a true inspiration. I had lost 44 lbs but since Labor Day gained 10 back. I am still healthier now than I ever have been(thats what I believe anyway??) I am gonna continue to read your blogs and follow you. If you can do it, I can do it. That's something I always reminded myself of while growing up. Marena I love you and am very very proud to say you are my sister!

  2. Amy, you have no idea how much your comment means. It means even more because it's not even close to your birthday and, yet, you're saying something nice about me.

    It's always meant the world to me to have your support. My favorite memory of you is when I was accepted to WIU. Do you remember sitting on my bedroom floor as we read the acceptance letter? You were just as excited as I was. Even then, you were my cheerleader.

    I love you!
