Today is my 4 year Blogaversary! In hindsight, I wish I would have started RER on Feb 29th 2008 so it would only be 1 year old, but wise beyond it’s years
Wow! looking back on the last 4 years is crazy – so much has changed in my life, on the blog, in the world. I started Run eat Repeat as a joke way to paper running and eating – an online food diary considering that all my paper notebooks were cluttering the back seat of my car.

I never expected it to turn into this mess! But, I’m delighted and very very grateful that you read. I’m very loud and odd in person, so Internet pals are my only hope.
I literally started RER during a break at work one day and came up with the name pretty quickly. I remember walking over to my pal Adriel’s desk and announcing my blog name (he’s below) for feedback. I checked that it wasn’t taken and Run eat Repeat was born!
Since things were so different I thought I’d do a comparison of my life then versus Now:
Then: I was a recruiter working in Torrance, CA. I loved my co-workers but didn’t like my job. (This is the kind of odd stuff we did at work…)
And we had a walking club! It ended up just being me and 3 of my person pals who would make fun of my hat for 30 minutes while we walked at lunch.
Now: I’m a blogger and personal trainer. I have no co-workers for the blog job and it’s lonely so I bother my blog pals by means of text or gchat all day.
Then: I was dating some person who lived in Orange County.
Now: I married that guy.
Then: I wanted to run my first marathon and use the blog to paper training.
Now: I’ve run 4 marathons and want to do another!
Then: My blog articles had horrible pictures and even worse jokes.
Now: Nope. No change there.
In honor of my 4 year blogaversary I ran 4 miles this morning. I tried to do the same tempo run I did Thursday (my legs weren’t feeling a speed sesh).
4 Miles – average pace 8:18
Mile 1: 8:24
Mile 2: 7:55
Mile 3: 8:27
Mile 4: 8:25
Last week’s splits:
Mile 1: 8:05
Mile 2: 7:51
Mile 3: 8:39 (freeway overpass killed me)
Mile 4: 8:34
Breakfast was pumpkin pancakes.
And 4 glasses of iced coffee
Oh, and 4 orange segments (multiplied by 2).
I’m not going to repost my first blog post considering that it’s tragic. Plus, I didn’t get a cam for a while after starting the blog so the first few articles are boring. Aaand I just remembered (while looking back on old posts) I had to delete a ton of them when I moved to self hosted so a lot of of my first few months of blogging have been destroyed. That’s probably for the best
But I will share with you the a list of things blogging has taught me in the next post!
See ya in a bit!
