...just kidding.
But today marks five years since I started this blog in a small student government office at UCLA.
 |
| This is what I looked like five years ago.... |
My blog pre-dates many things, including:
- finishing and graduating from college
- the death of my high school track coach, who is one of my inspirations
- all but two of my races
- my first marathon
- starting graduate school
- finishing graduate school
- meeting/dating my boyfriend ("The Ukrainian")
- my first trip to Las Vegas
- most of my jobs
- driving my car (I've had a license for 8 years but have only *really* driven for 4)
Not to say that this journey is over. I have contemplated axe-ing this blog a few times, but I'm glad I didn't. A few months ago, I announced that I was taking the blog in a new direction, basically because I was going through a rough time personally. Even so, I still like blogging and intend to continue, for now.
I'm not very fast, coherent, or popular, but to those who have been reading, thank you.
As thanks, I'm hosting a "blog-i-versary" giveaway!
