Below I share some thoughts about my first month of running and fundraising.

After the first month of my virtual Run Over To Ellen’s, I’m almost to the “B” pin on the map which is Red Rock, MT and the “C” pin is Lima, MT. We’ve raised $149 dollars so far for Guide Dogs for the Blind, and we’ve been on the local news. Still a long ways to go on all fronts, but I’m up for it…so let’s run!

Vote For Your Favorite Runner Insight Blog Posts For 2008:

Thank you for a wonderful and amazing four months….

We’d like to get your input….let us know what your favorite blog posts for 2008 were!

We’re looking to get an idea of what the Top Ten Favorite Runner Insight Blog posts for 2008 were, and we need your help!

We currently have about 17 favorites out of the approximately 60-ish posts we’ve published in the four months this blog has been up and running…so we need some help from you to narrow down our Top Ten to less than 17

Simply place a comment at the end of any and all of your favorite blog posts, and be entered into

a drawing at the end of January.  All of the valid comments (we do get spam comments…and naturally, those won’t count) between now and January 30 at noon will be collected and placed into a random drawing.

Your comment can be a simple “This is one of my favorites of 2008″  or an insightful response to the content of the post and why it’s one of your favorites, or anything in between.

If your favorites include one of the “three-part stories” that’s fine too. You can just count as one Crazy Canyon, The “What Was I Thinking” Run, I Fell In A Hole,  and any other multi-parters there might have been that I can’t think of right off the top of my head right now.

If you have multiple favorites, you can even include in the comments “This is my number one favorite” “This is my second favorite,” etc. if you choose. You can comment on as many favorites as you have, but you will only be entered into the drawing for your first ten comments….

So search your memory and search the archives, and let us know!

Thanks for your input…and thanks again for a fantastic 2008!

How ’bout it?
