The Last Post

I started writing this blog on November 8, 2009. Almost three years later, I achieved the goal that I set at that time - run a marathon.  A little over three years after setting that goal, I am posting my last entry in this blog.  It's time to close this door. And open another.

Thank you if you have read any or all of my posts.  I appreciate your attention and interest. I began writing this because it was an outlet.  Running forces you through many emotions and this blog was an outlet for many of them.

It was never meant to mean anything to anyone other than me.  Amazingly, a few people read it.  And equally amazing, some of you have told me that you read it (most with straight faces).  But it's time to close this particular book.  Besides, the title is dated and I can't figure out how to change it.

Finally, thanks to everyone who gave me encouragement.  I will miss some of you but here goes:

Deb  Sara  Pat  Jacob  Sandy  Ben  Sam  Selma  Elyse  Sue  Sally  Tom  Tim  Jan  Janet  Jerry  Jon  John  Todd  Cynthia  Phil  Ann  Steve  Susan  Mike  Annette  Dave  David  Gene  Kevin  Bruce  Brendan  Julie  Emily  Kelly  Ron  Barry  Steve  Lori  Tom  Brad

and everyone else with whom I came in contact.  There will be more but not in this space...

It's been real, and it's been fun.  And truthfully, it's been real fun.

Goodnight Mrs. Calabash, wherever you are.
