I've been lazy with my blog as of late. As I looked at my stat site recently, I saw that I have a large amount of new lurkers, many coming from Running Ahead. Just wanted to thank you all for checking out the site and please feel free to comment if you have something to say.
One of the reasons I have been out of commission for the last month or so is because I have started running again- really running, seriously this time. I posted about it earlier and am glad to say that it is going really well, even though I have started slowly. I am running my first five miler in a LONG time Saturday and I am actually looking forward to it. I plan to write more about my running on this blog, make it more of a focus. I still want to write my happy little entries as before, just maybe an additional running update as well.
Also, I promise to be better at writing. I'll be on vacation next week so I'm SURE I will have something fun to report after that.

Running, Food, Travel, Books and Grand Ideas
Introduction
This blog is about passions, about the love of food, travel and knowledge (and a little bit of running in between). Each entry is meant to inspire the reader to visit the location, read the article, indulge in that certain delicacy or chase that dream to which they aspire.

As you noted on the lurkers, I wandered my way here via one of your thread posts on RA, THE best running log and forum site in cyberspace btw.
Just wanted to say congrats on getting back at it and keep up the great work! I hope the 5 miler went well for you and you are able to stay at it consistently. Oh and, running is more important than blogging (note to self as well).
Good luck and I'm looking forward to seeing the "Before and After" pics - of which there is a thread on RunningAHEAD btw. ;-)
