In another very few weeks it will be four years since I started this blog! Whew, that's a lot of posts! I'm nearly up to 200,000 hits. It would be nice to surpass that number by my blogversary on March 31st, so keep coming back!
I've slowed down in posting and I'm much more scattershot in my approach. I post about what my family is doing or strange things I run across on the Internet (though I tend to use Facebook for that these days) or sometimes about training or a race or whatever. No special theme here and no limits.
I still tweak things a bit. Today I just added a table of my personal performance records in the right sidebar. Scroll wayyyy down to find it. They may not be super-speedy but they're all mine, and I think that all of them are from the last four years and documented somewhere in this blog.
Feel free to poke around or steal the code if you wish to use it on your blog.

Can't get enough of me?
Wish that I'd post more?
Yeah, right.
Well, anyway, I've been invited to contribute to a group blog leading up to the Nation's Triathlon in Washington, DC on September 14, 2008.
A few of the entries might be duplicates from over here, but you still may wish to join us there too to get all the details, especially if you're entered in the 2008 race too. See you over there!

I'm a nominee!
This blog has been nominated for a 2007 raceAthlete Best Blog Award!
Shucks, you guys! I am not worthy. But I do consider it an honor.
My regular readers know that this is much more of a training-journal-of-my-life than a triathlete blog.
My friend Jeanne recently asked "Why do you blog?"
I have to admit that I don't have a single good answer to that question. I started this blog in March, 2005 as a way to make a log of my training progress for myself, and also a historical record and photo file for my own review and for my kids' amusement one day. I periodically save this record month-by-month to a CD and file it away.
I've gone a few thousand miles under my own power since that day. I've gone from a novice who had dabbled into a triathlon or two, to the point that a triathlete is part of who I am. Only just a part, but a part that's personally important to me. I may not always compete in events, but I don't see myself giving up swimming, cycling, or running until something, someday, makes me.
Two-and-a-half years and 138,000 hits later I'm still doing it, blogging away on a regular basis. It's become an important part of my training and my connection to fellow triathletes around the world. I especially appreciate it when someone takes an interest in my meandering posts and takes the time to write a comment. Thanks for coming over to my house. Have another cup of coffee. I enjoy having you here.
