The New Better Me

Hey you, guess what. My new blog is up! Finally!

I'm defecting from this nauseating green page and the headache that is posting photos on Blogger. So this blog, while not totally dead, is defacto defunct. Come read the same me, only better, over at Marathon Mama. Yes, I realize it's the same title. I'm so innovative I decided to capitalize the thing. My new home is in the swank Competitor subdivision of Cyberrunningville. Please update your readers and your link love, if you're so inclined and don't want to see a nice lady cry. Really, though, go look at it. It's pretty fierce pretty fierce.

And for my last trick on blogger, watch me execute the linkiest stunt I've ever pulled before I report for duty over at Competitor:

First, because it just seems required by the Internet. Michael Jackson. Farah Fawcett.

Now that that's out of the way.... Big, totally sincere thanks to Sage for her endorsement and to fellow bloggers who drove traffic to me that I've managed to keep with frequent references to sex, child neglect, and vodka (thankfully not as a triad). Vanilla, Nitmos, Rachel, and Marcy (who I can't link to because she's in blog rehab), in particular, have been super duper with their sidebars and linking. Which means they better update those sidebars, friends, because I said something nice and genuine and not at all sarcastic about them. I'm sincere, but solipsistic.

And because I like to pay it forward, if you haven't already, you should start reading the wit and wisdom to be found from Mary and Patti. They are some seriously kick-ass women and runners who can write like no one's business.

And because she deserves credit, a shout out to blog reader Amy who designed the logo that appears on the new blog design, which again, is found here. Shameless, I am.

And because I like to endorse any athletic apparel company started by people who have both the ovaries and design sense to take on big boys like Nike, I'll let you know that Skirt Sports has some exciting stuff going on. These fine, post-modern runner women are the originators of the Skirt Chaser race series and the mothers of the running skirt.

Visit them by June 30 to sign up for the opportunity to Win a Fitness Makeover. They're giving away a $150 gift certificate and a fitness/yoga bag from Sherpani. They also just launched a program called SkirtPerks, which is a customer membership program with various benefits & savings, like deals on shipping and free goodies. They're giving away a free schwag bag to the first 250 people who sign up for this program.

So that's it from me. Except not really. Because you're going to go here, right? Right.
