2,100 Mike’s Marathon Blog page views! Wow. I can honestly say that I did not expect that when I started this over 5 months ago. And no, those views do not count me. The blog averages about 15 views per day. I think that’s pretty good! Twitter gets 50 million Tweets per day, but whatever. Twitter sucks. Sorry you can’t find out what Ashton Kutcher is doing on my blog!
I’m kinda sad to see this come to an end soon. This past Monday was the big 1 month mark! Maybe I can keep blogging about all the different events I will be doing after the marathon? Will anyone keep reading if I do that? Mike’s Post-Marathon Blog? I’m already signed up for a half-marathon at the end of May, which many of my friends and family will be running with me. After that race, I start training for triathlons.
I competed in a few Sprint triathlons last summer. Most Sprint triathlons consist of a 1/4 mile swim, 13 mile bike and a 5k run. My goal for this summer is to train for an Olympic triathlon. An Olympic triathlon, also known as “international distance,” includes a 1 mile swim, a 25 mile bike and a 10k run (6.2 miles). There are a few in the area that I’m leaning towards, but I don’t want to even think about the triathlons until the marathon is over. I guess I’ll take the day after the marathon off, so April 21st I’ll start training for the triathlons.
I vote yes – I would continue to read!
Hey Mike,
Wow – you are doing so great! I read your blog faithfully – still getting it emailed to me at work, and enjoy it every time. You may have a new career going – surely a Chief Blogger position is in your future! Looking forward to your next post.
Evy
Your blog is the highlight of my week. I was quite upset when the posts slowed down to about once a week. I will definitely keep reading, please keep blogging after the race. I have held my comments until now, as I did not want you to think I was a creeper. I work with your sister and will be running the Boston Marathon next year so I was very interested in your commentary.
