I’ve actually just succeeded at a fairly significant goal (for me) this week. A month ago, I decided that I would begin training to run a 5K in September. I’ve kept at it faithfully all month, and on Wednesday I ran two straight miles, no stopping. Completing that mini-goals makes the bigger goals (running three miles, running a half-marathon, running a whole marathon-what?) seem doable.

So, obviously, here I am writing this first blog. It’s long been a goal of mine to return to blogging. I am interested in the public and private spaces for literacies, so this seems an obvious place to start.

I also considered calling this blog digressions, but then I didn’t.

Anyway, thanks for running along beside me or sharing my earbud or whatever face-to-face metaphor you like. See you on the flip side.
