Two Kind Profiles

In the last few days, a couple of other bloggers have honored me by featuring me on their pages.

Big thank-you to Jessica at Pace of Me first of all. She's doing a series called "Rock My {Running} World," and I'm grateful and lucky to be the second person featured under that heading after her own sister. (I also dig the fact that her sister and I are about the same age and at about the same running level, too. I wish I could run with both Jess and Jodi.) I expect Jessica will be added to my "Inspiring BQ Stories" page very soon, because her latest showing in the Marine Corps Marathon was a gigantic PR and put her just two minutes from qualifying. She has worked hard for this. She and I now have a joint dream of meeting in Boston in April 2013.

The second place you'll find me is in the Houston Marathon Committee's blog. They too are featuring some runners ahead of January's big race. The guy they profiled before me, Sary Joudah, is actually a much more inspiring runner than I am. I really enjoyed reading his story. And if you're running Houston this year, the committee's blog is a great place for information as well as inspiration as we pull within two months of race day.

Later this week I will have a giveaway I'm excited about. I won't reveal much today, but I will tell you it has something to do with this site.
