Microblogging

Usually there are several times throughout the day when I think, "I ought to blog about this." Unfortunately, there are a finite number of hours in the day and blogging often gets bumped off the to-do list.

Enter the microblog. Just to the left of the main content on my blog I've inserted a microblog--short posts of a sentence or two that I usually post from my Blackberry. To set this up I use a combination of the Twitter widget on the blog and then Twitterberry on the Blackberry. It's been great to be able to shoot off a quick update or thought a few times a day as opposed to writing a regular blog post.

If you're interested in following my microblog (as if you needed more noise in your life) you can do so via Twitter or RSS.

Running Again...

2008 might be the year...  the year to finally run a marathon. I've run half-marathons and completed short distance triathlons, but never attempted the full 26.2.

Last month I begin running in earnest again, after a knee injury last spring, and so far it's going well. I put together a spreadsheet to track my progress, (you can access the template I used as a base here), and I'm slowly cranking up the mileage.

Here's to early morning runs through the Colorado winter!!!
