I started running in January 2006. Of course, i’ve always been running – from creditors, dogs, angry neighbors, even on the treadmill at the gym – but never on the road and (ahem!) competitively. Not that i hope to have any chance of winning any of these road races but you never know. I might just be able to learn how to use those rubber shoes with wheels under them and one day win a full marathon.
Anyway, i started this blog just to have a place to keep a record of my runs. all other posts are products of my imagination which is necessary so i would have the interest of reading them. Sometimes i actually enjoy reading what i write.
I’m trying to find that web thingie that counts how many hits a site gets. i’m interested to know how many times i actually visit my blogsite. It will truly make me happy if i get a thousand hits per day. That would mean I don’t really have anything to do the whole day which in turn means i don’t need to work anymore. Mmmm… nice thought.

i think its called google analytics … although i cant seem to make it work. wordpress has an informative stats page. you’ll be surprised at the search words that led people to your blog. 🙂
thanks bards! i’m no techie myself but i have a friend who is. i’ll ask him how it’s done and if it works, i’ll let you know.
thanks for visiting my blog. you’re my first visitor!! (all the other viewers in the stats was me). i’m honored, really.
