Blog of Note

Thank you to everyone who honors me by taking time to read my blog.  I appreciate all your kind words of encouragement and support in the numerous comments I've received over that last few days.

To be honest, I had no idea what the Blog of Note was all about (check out this link if you are like me).  I knew something must be up when I got more than my normal one or two comments every so often.  When I saw so many comments from Whose Woods in my email inbox I was confused and surprised.  I thought maybe my mother in law had her friends reading my blog since I had posted on two of the books she had recommended for me to read.  Then, I thought someone had hacked my blog and sent all those comments.

I was relieved that was not the case, but a little overwhelmed by the news that my blog had been chosen as a Blog of Note.  I never expected anyone to read my blog other than obliging family members and a few loyal friends.

I hope my running descriptions will inspire you to run/explore/ be adventurous in the woods nearest you.  And I hope my EMS anecdotes will bring a smile (and maybe a tear) to your face as they do mine.

I must give credit where it is due...Alex May began running and blogging long before I ever attempted either.  He has always been an inspiration to me in his commitment, strength, knowledge, and kindness.  I am fortunate to be his best friend, wife, and running partner.  I also have numerous friends who are daily running inspirations.   If you want to be truly inspired to run or get a glimpse into the not-so-fringe-anymore-ultrarunning-community check out the blogs of the 50-100 mile runners under "My Favorite Blogs."

I paced Alex the last 17 miles, my longest run at that point!

I look forward to reading your blogs and hearing from many of you in the future!
