Happy Birthday, All In Stride!

One year ago today, my little blog was born. With much hesitation I wrote my first post, and then ran to See Jane Write’s fearless leader Javacia to see if I had “done it right.” Like with anything new, at first I felt clumsy and awkward writing. Now, I just post whatever spills out of the crazy depths of my mind. And I’ve grown to love it!

So here’s a look back at some of my (and your, according to my stats) favorite posts from the past year:

• Why I Hit The Trails—Because once upon I time, I had never been on a trail run. Tomorrow, I run 30 miles. For fun.

This time last year, this flat little jeeptrack both terrified and enticed me

• Tale of the Alabama Snowfall—Because SNOW. In ALABAMA.

Ermahgerd snerw!

• The Day I Became an Ultra Runner—I still smile when I think about how awesome that day was. And what a badass I can be. Just sayin’.

Proud runner

• Grammar Police—Welcome to my world.

Yes please.

• Dear Shaun T—How can you love and hate someone at the same time?

The pups check to make sure I’m still breathing

• #Sylvanroadtrip—I need to pinch myself sometimes to remind myself that this all happened, and it was that beautiful.

Adam caught my reaction running downhill as a lizard ran across my feet

• Birmingham—I Run This Town—Runners or not, this post affected many people and started many conversations about the Magic City

The streets are always empty early mornings downtown, despite it being a work day

• Sylvan Wedding—Love.

Aw

• WTF is a Thigh Gap—Because I will always be associated with women’s inner thighs from now on.

Wut.

Here’s to many more years of blogging!
