proud i made the well-considered Jason Dodge’s favorite blog list :)

You are among a great group of people :-) Approximately 8 are active. I noticed about a week or two ago that Allie's blog is no longer public. A sad day indeed.

I enjoy following your training, particularly for the song of the day. I know you were on the blog before and had some troubled times and it is good to see you well.

I was also sad to see Allie go. About 6 of my favorite blogs still post.

I like coming here because of things like - It is unlikely that the three of us will ever meet. But I am still rooting for you guys. I find that interaction really bizarre, and really awesome, all at the same time. If we ever did meet, I think you would walk away thinking "So, that was Tom. A bit tubby-er than I expected. That's a shame." So maybe it's best that we keep this in the digital world.

id say my chances of meeting Tom are better than Jason given we’re in neighboring states, but i agree. while it is sad to see a lot of the people whose training i followed now gone, it does feel more like tight-knit than i remember it ever being; less people blogging means it’s easier to follow a bigger percentage of the blog. still, even with the population shrinkage we still have exciting training and racing going on - i don’t know if we keep a log but i think i might be near the title of “highest mileage week that DOESN’T include an ultra race” :-)

also i’m gonna have to bring SOTD back Jason! i’ve been meaning to.
