Have I seriously been blogging for an entire year now? I would say no but I looked back and 1 year ago today I wrote my first blog post! It sucked, was short and boring so you didn’t miss much. But SOOOOO much has happened in a year I don’t even know where to begin!
Let’s see:
I ran in 37 races
5-Marathons
5-1/2 Marathons
3-10 Milers
A couple 5 milers (a huge 5 mile PR!)
1-10K
1-Warrior Dash
15-5Ks
I became a Marathon Maniac by running 2 marathons in 14 days in May…and then got crazier and ran 2 marathons in 7 days in October.
I was selected to be an Official Blogger for the Cleveland Marathon in 2011 (and was selected again in 2012). I also gained a new nickname #TheLogo
I was selected to be part of Team Refuel-Refuel with Chocolate Milk. Your votes helped…a lot 🙂
I was named one of Clevelands Most Interesting Tweeps
I published 172 posts (this is actually post 173), Holy Cow that is a lot! My initial goal was to blog once a month….overachievier 🙂
I was hoping to get 100 people to visit my blog site within the year but I blew that out of the water and had over 24,000 visits. Pshhh crazy people.
I kept most of my personal life off of my blog, except for my love of running and my sister. Pretty much all you really need to know about me anyways.
I attended 5 weddings aka Wedding Palooza 2011 and blog about each one. Your welcome friends! (who don’t read my blog anyways, oh except you Eli)
Oh and speaking of friends, most of my “real life” friends don’t know that I blog. They are slowly finding out. Maybe they will start reading it when I eventually get the guts to post my posts on Facebook. Scary Stuff!
Oh and while I have your attention, go and Vote for my friend Jackie. Her picture was selected for a photo contest. All you need to do is like the photo on facebook and bonus points if you leave a comment! Thanks!

Hmm there are probably a couple things I left out but thanks to everyone who has been reading my blog for the past year. Hoping you stick around for another year!
This is a really fun recap! I enjoyed reading and I didn’t know you were a top Tweeter. Congrats!
I decided sometime in 2011 to share my blog with family/friends. Some already knew but I just became more transparent, talk about it conversation, etc. I just make sure I post stuff that I feel comfortable that my Dad reads. He is now a daily reader. LOL.
Happy Blogiversary!
I LOVE blogiversaries!! And the fact that “waffle abuse” is one of your top search terms is the funniest thing I’ve seen in awhile. Here’s to much more running and blogging in 2012!
Happy Blogiversary!!!!!!

Congrats on a great year!!!
Happy blogoversary! That is one impressive year you’ve had – can’t wait to see how many marathons you’ll run in even fewer days next year! 🙂
Congratulations!!!! You are an inspiration to us all!
Wishing you a great year! Happy Blogiversary! 🙂
Happy blogiversary! Holy accomplishments in a year, Batman! And don’t worry…a lot of my friends don’t read my blog either 😉
Congratulations and happy blogiversary!! How did you get selected for all these things? Team Refuel, Official Cleve Blogger, becoming “the logo,” ect? You need to blog about that! Oh and how did you find out what search terms found you? I MUST know because some of those are really funny!
No one really reads my blog either. Most of my daily views are probably my mom. Oh well. Keep it up and I will keep reading!
My mom was the only person to read my blog at first, slowly I gained more readers. P.S. I will be at the Glass City Marathon this year, running the half!
Yea!! Happy Blogiversary!!! You accomplished so much this year! Be Proud!
