I want to thank you for breaking it down the way you did. As I continue on this blogging journey I will focus on being as honest as I can, this can be a form of therapy I feel.

Recently I haven't even opened my own blog because I don't feel like reading all the other blogs about training, racing, training. I want to read about normal stuff too. You know, kid and husband frustrations. You are never phony, never boasting about your run/bike/swim splits, you're just YOU! I hope you'll keep up your blog, and continue keeping it real. I'm still debating mine. <BR/>Hope you're doing well and getting some to run!Mira (Ivanovich) Lelovichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00824672785372730317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3080147652738557163.post-18346084762010714602009-01-29T07:53:00.000-08:002009-01-29T07:53:00.000-08:00I have always loved your Blog for it's honesty- yo...I have always loved your Blog for it's honesty- you are real!

We all know that life is filled with bumps and roller coasters (that aren't always fun), and I really enjoy when someone writes an honest post rather than only posting while they are happy. Your blog has been very inspiring to me, so KEEP IT UP! :) HUGGGS!!!Shanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11226590006329406452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3080147652738557163.post-3541514376120735782009-01-26T08:16:00.000-08:002009-01-26T08:16:00.000-08:00Mel!

You are talented, a devoted mom, a great athlete, and hilarious! I love your honesty and willingness to NOT write about the bs. Not everything in life is roses and sunshine - trust me :), I know. I would be so sad if you didn't have a blog - I really enjoy it! Hang in there and continue to be strong! I'm cheering for YOU!Marit C-Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06742572497365287990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3080147652738557163.post-26690300477115497792009-01-26T07:08:00.000-08:002009-01-26T07:08:00.000-08:00Mel, I too really enjoy your blog.

I check it frequently and hope you post. I have NO idea what is going on with people's rude comments, give me a break, but I enjoy you and your blog. You make me laugh and I feel l ike I know you very well even though we have yet to meet.<BR/><BR/>blogs are tough. Sometimes people use their blogs for the GOOD in their lives and if they post about the bad....then, it keeps reminding them about it. So, of course, life is not all about sunshine and happiness...but, for some maybe that is how they cope. I don't know!? <BR/><BR/>Anyway, I prefer the blogs and hate that people slowed their blogging down b/c of FB and other stuff. (I am one!)...but, we have a good group of bloggers here, so keep on entertaining us: Good, bad, ugly or whatever! :))<BR/><BR/>xoJennifer Harrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16423353141131054943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3080147652738557163.post-91365253073010165752009-01-24T18:06:00.000-08:002009-01-24T18:06:00.000-08:00More MILF pictures please!More MILF pictures please!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3080147652738557163.post-75818062823788979872009-01-24T15:53:00.000-08:002009-01-24T15:53:00.000-08:00Hi Mel :) The honesty is always appreciated.

A couple of weeks ago I really considered going on a blog ban. But, then there are the nice friends I have learned so much from and felt supported by- some I have met in person and liked them even more! I know what you mean. I love that you have all kinds of great stories-I envy your easy runs at my 5k pace, but you also share your disappointments like St Croix...only to come back and do it better the next time and kick butt and have time to cross the line with your kids. So, cheers to you and to the blog. :) We are glad you are hanging around.Damiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01477225573820970779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3080147652738557163.post-29716524728621825082009-01-24T13:50:00.000-08:002009-01-24T13:50:00.000-08:00I ment every world I said!
