Important Things

By Colleen @colleenalicia · On September 25, 2010

Recently blogger.com started providing a place to view the stats for your own blog. Before I could see how many hits my page had from the monetizing option, but now I can see all kinds of details. This includes what country people are in when they look at my blog, what kind of browser they use to look at my blog, a bunch of other stupid crap, and most importantly, if they searched for my blog using Google or something, what keywords they used. The number one search keyword that has brought people to my blog so far is “kristen cavallari parents house.” Other keywords that will evidently bring you to my blog:

tips for not having to poop while running a marathon
braces three times
charley horse dangerous

and my favorite:

when i eat at spaghetti factory i get diarrhea

On a less interesting note, I realized that at some point along the way I stopped posting mileage on here. For anyone coming in late in the game, my original goal was to run 25 miles a week, every week this year. Due to unexpected injuries I’ve fallen slightly behind, but who’s to say I won’t still make it? To catch up I would need to run a mere 60 miles a week for the rest of the year. I probably won’t, but only because I still have a touch of tendinitis in my IT band. Otherwise I probably would (maybe).


Miles run this week: 4
Miles run in 2010: 479

I must confess, I started running at a very early age. Sadly, my runs were unblogumented until around age 23, so you'll have to use your imagination for all the runs I went on before that. Running has always been my go-to sport, but sadly, I spend a good amount of my time with chronic injuries. I have learned to entertain myself athletically with other pursuits such as kettlebell, yoga, and bikini competitions, when I can't run. In addition to my unique talent for working out and then blogging about it, I am an amateur puppy stylist and photographer, television enthusiast, and I'm usually CPR/AED certified, but I would still prefer if you didn't pass out when we're together.

    Of course, animalphallus would be easier to remember than “ezra fox.”

    About Me

    I’m Colleen. I started this blog when I was 23 years old and training for my first marathon. I was single, semi-employed, generally directionless in life, and had a lot of free time on my hands. I have a lot less free time now, but I still love to come here and dump my rambling, unedited thoughts after a workout or race once in a while.
