- As Lindsay so lovingly called me out in her comment yesterday, I've had to cancel on B.o.B twice now but come hell or high water I WILL run with her on Saturday. I am headed over there after work tomorrow and we have our first 20 miler of the training schedule on deck. She's rebounding from a long run cut short last weekend and I'm rebounding from the bubonic plague... together we will rough it out and come out victorious!!! 20 Miles, here we come! 7 weeks til Gasparilla!
- Tuesday night Jill & I spent well over an hour on the phone... this wouldn't be worth noting if it wasn't for the fact that this was the first time we had ever talked on the phone. She and I have booked our hotel for the Donna Half next month, registered for the race, made up a whole trip itinerary via email but never once thought to call each other! LOL! It was so fun to chat and it made me even more excited to run together in 6 weeks! (Holy crap how did it sneak up on us so fast?) We also laminated on how blogging has changed us not only as runner's but as people, how we've made such amazing friendships with ya'll and how much those friendships have come to mean. Have I mentioned lately how much I love you all??? Cuz I do!
- Although I refuse to Twitter, I have made a Fan Page on Facebook for Caution: Redhead Running - Click the link to become a Fan or click on the "Become a Fan" button on the top right of the screen under the header. I'll try to be good about posting updates and uploading the new blog posts... but no promises. I already spend far too much of my life on the blog & FB as it is!!!

Hope your 20 miler goes well. I love blogging friends too :)
No Twitter for me either! I joined your FB page. This is going to be a full time for you at, at this rate :)
Although I find myself spending more and more time on my blog too. It's addicting!
Good luck on your long run! This is a rest week for me, but I'll be doing 20 next weekend.
As for the Facebook fan page, check out this guide: http://thesocialmediaguide.com.au/2009/08/06/facebook-fan-button/
I've seen a few bloggers add a fan page, but I just linked up my blog to network blogs (within FB) instead... that way when you post to your blog, it updates automatically to your facebook page. Might save you some time/work. Anyway, have a great run with B.o.b!
20 miler?? Whoooop! You gals will knock it out, no problemo.
I can only imagine it would be a little weird to *talk* to a blogger-friend on the Phone..haha...all this reading business, we get used to it! ;)
Uhm, you really made a fan page?! That's AWESOME.
Have a great time with B.o.B. this weekend! I have no doubt that you ladies will rock the 20 miler. Only 7 weeks to go! Wowee!
Sounds like plans for really coming together for the Donna. After having the chance to chat with you in person about what it means to you, I am SO excited. It's going to be a memorable experience.
Nice fan page! Count me in. :)
Holy crap, I forgot it was 3 Things Thursday... I sat at my desk for a good 5 minutes trying to think of something to blog about... sheesh.
I became a fan! :) And I don't tweet either.
The "fan page" thing seems to be the new thing, I might hop on board. :)
It was so fun chatting Tuesday!
Did you say you got a half mary a week before a full mary? My goodness, Girl, you are a machine!
Tweeting's for twits! I became a fan on FB. I love that FB keeps me so connected but seriously I might be addicted. My house needs more attention. And I need a shower.
Good luck on the 20 miler!
How fun that you and Jill will meet so soon...love that girl!!
I love the idea of a Fan Facebook page. I can access FB from my blackberry so it is easier to update.
Can i ask where you girls meet up? I would love to come run with you sometime when I get in to my spring marathon training
I am jumping into my marathon training for a March 6 (and maybe one on the 7th too. We'll see) so I am looking at 20 this Sunday, ugh! How to get that much time that the kiddos are actually behaving?!?
So great that you and Jill will be running together!
I do not twitter. But I do FB so I will see you there! Yipee!
Hope you guys get some nice weather for the 20 miler. Hope you guys have fun. I am sure you'll pick each other up when needed.
Good luck on the 20 miler you crazy girls! It's always so much nicer to run with someone!
I am so becoming a fan of yours! Just look for the other crazy redhead with the long las name :)
Much as I have to limit my intake of peanut butter m&ms, I have to limit my intake of FB. And I completely agree that blogging about running has made me into a different runner/person. I realized this the other day on my morning run, as I was using my running "mental tricks" on my routine 5-miler. I realized the full and total mental shift that has occurred to me over the last year of blogging and marathon training.
Good luck on your run :-)
Your next marathon is coming up quick! Very very exciting! :)
I agree about running and blogging. In the past year that I've been blogging, my running has really taken off. I don't think I ever would've dared enter a marathon without the support I was receiving from readers. It's astounding, really. All these new friends! LOVE IT!
Good luck on the 20-miler, you'll totally kick ass!
Best of luck on the 20. But you should probably just give it to twitter. Just sayin.
twitter is awesome - you would love it :) i promise!
YAY fan pages! i made one too, i should probably blog about it :) haha. i will become a fan when i get home, i dont have access to FB at work :'(
Join Twitter damn it. You will love it!!!
twitter is so stupid.
but i use it, sort of. so let me know when you give in. it's kind of like free text messaging (on an iphone anyway) that everyone can read. but yeah, i don't get it.
No no no.... Twitter is the shizzy, you will convert, this I promise.
Instead of thinking of it like just facebook updates, think of it as mini blog posts! Even highly acclaimed blogger Frayed Laces has joined the party.
Some of my latest running related tweets:
- 8.23 miles in 1:13:51. (8:58/mile). Had Rocky's voice in my head 'THATS HOW WINNIN IS DONE!!!" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1tXhJniSEc
- Caffeine before run? Big time win. Saving that booster for race day. Just gotta be sure to.. um.. 'evacuate the dancefloor' b4 race
- I can't wait to run in just one pair of pants today
And what if it was easier for me to respond to you than having to type in a verification word every time? OH SNAP that's what Twitter is. :)
Hell or high water indeed! See you tonight boo. We can do it! (this is more for my motivation than yours!) also you may have made a photo collage at my house....
If i remember to find you on facebook next time i go on I will become a fan!
I'll be at the Donna to spectate! Gotta find me a cowbell! And a Will Ferrell outfit. I got the height already!
Yay for a fellow non-twitterer! I did it for a while but it was just too much connection constantly so something had to go.
Ummm...did you mean to say "lamented" or was your use of my name intentional?
I'm flattered Redhead...I really am...
Races with blogging/running buddies: SCORE! You guys are going to have a great time for the Donna Half next month. :-)
Wow, I am behind on blogs....
Well, look at you all socially media connected! I totally just signed up to be a fan. (I'm the one trying to drink 8 beers at a time in his profile picture)
