If You Run You are a Runner #Blogember

Welcome to day two of the November (aka Blogember) blog everyday challenge (hosted by A Happy Girl Blog). Have you read my day one post yet? The other night while you were out partying it up at your Halloween soirees, taking your kids trick or treating, or munching down on that free neighborhood chocolate, I was holed up in the back room avoiding trick or treaters writing my Nov 1st post until nearly 11pm. I am not complaining, blogging is a labor of love, but it can be time consuming. I started to worry that it was going to be like this every day of November while I complete the challenge. I usually write blogs on the weekends or on an occasional weekday. Will I be working on a blog every night from the time I get home from work until well past my bedtime? (Yes, 11pm is well past my bedtime.) Am I going to be able to keep up? Is Hubby going to start to notice I am ignoring him? Will this get me out of cleaning the house?

You see, blogging every day is not the hard part. I could easily blog every day. Want to see a picture of Ollie's weird sleeping positions every night? (Ollie is my dog, if you imagined something else, you might be the weirdo.) That would be easy. Point, shoot, upload. Blog done. Want to see how my hair looks when I wake up in the morning? (Trust me, you don't.) Want to see what I ate for every meal every day of the week? Probably not, but if you do, check out my Instagram account. Blogging is easy, making it meaningful and worth reading is the hard part. Did I mention I wasn't complaining? I am excited to share with you my second post of the challenge.

November 2: Favorite Inspiring Quote

 Since the invention of Pinterest (only the best invention EVER) inspirational quotes are a dime a dozen.

Ha ha. Just kidding. I have a real inspirational quote to share. This particular quote is broadcast across my blog header every single day. If you read this blog, you've probably noticed it. I like it so much, it inspired a blog post Are You a Real Runner? Spoiler Alert: If you run, the answer is yes.

"If you run, you are a runner. It doesn't matter how fast or how far. It doesn't matter if today is your first day or if you've been running for twenty years. There is no test to pass, no license to earn, no membership card to get. You just run." - John Bingham

Look at that. Done with my second post of the challenge and it is only 8PM. I'm off to hang out with hubby and enjoy my Friday night. Two words: Fire. Pit. If anyone needs me, I'll be out back with a glass of wine. Have a nice weekend friends. See you tomorrow.
