Me, smiling after a half ironman.
During the course of a conversation, I find myself talking about blogs more often that I like to admit. "I read on a blog last week.." or "My favorite blog talked about.." It is almost embarrassing how much I enjoy reading blogs except now I have decided to start my own, so I am not embarrassed.
My sister (her blog here) is the one who actually got me started reading blogs about a year and a half ago. She was visiting me and laying on my couch when I got home from work. I asked her what she had been doing all day and her reply was, "catching up on my blogs". Apparently Kelsey follows numerous blogs, I am talking over 40 of them! I sat down next to her and together we looked through some of the blogs she had recently read. She showed me blogs about furniture, fashion, families, and interior design. I was hooked. My entire world opened up. This blog thing was a new concept for me! I began to look into this more and discovered that there was a huge array of blogs out there! There were blogs on hair, triathlons, animals, running, racing, humor, and photography just to name a few! I immediatley downloaded an app on my phone and began following over 30 blogs Yes, us Shadle girls may have a problem. We love our blogs.
Now, over a year later I have finally decided to begin my own blog. Kind of a big step.. The question is what do I write that may be of interest to people besides my parents? I have decided to not answer that question and instead just go with it.. Yes, I will allow this blog to find its own legs and run! I will put a disclaimer out there though. I am an aspiring athlete who dabbles in triathlons and enjoys racing. Dabbles and aspiring may not be the best words as I do numerous races a year and take my training seriously in hopes of taking my racing to the next level. (more on that in future posts, I am sure) As a result of my athletic interests, you will find a lot of race reports on this blog. I love reading race reports! (not everyone does and I understand this) I take it back, no disclaimer! This is a blog about me (Sally) and the life I lead. Triathlons are a large part of my life as are my two wonderful dogs, Morgan and Buddy. I look forward to watching this blog grow and morph into what it will.
