Even though I received my copy of my dailymile/twitter/facebook gal pal's book, Run With Me, the day before it officially went on sale - I finally took the time to sit down and read it cover to cover. For three days, I took this book everywhere with me, even in the car to read at stop lights or traffic. I never thought I could connect on such a high level with a person just by reading a book. Our stories aren't exactly the same, but the connections, feelings, emotions, and thoughts are so similar. Jennifer has already inspired me as a runner through our social network connections, but she has inspired me on so many more levels now.
The thought of a blog has been on my mind for a couple years. English was never a favorite subject of mine and I haven't ever considered myself a good writer. But, I have received compliments about my writing from professors to fellow teachers to friends, etc. After finishing Run With Me, I feel encouraged to just start writing. My thoughts may be silly, random, not grammatically polished, or even relevant - but here I go...the official start of my blog. (And yes, this page is still under construction but I needed to just PUBLISH! Not let anything be my excuse to not just start!)
And please - order your copy of Run With Me and check out Jennifer's blog! http://jenniferluitwieler.com/
