Thirty, in journalism, means the end of the story. But Circle30 signifies an ever present journey, be it physically, as in running, or mentally, as in looking for the next journalistic experience. Life is about changes while on the journey, and I'm clearly on one. So, when you stop by this blog, please share thoughts about your journey, be it on foot or otherwise.

Signed on
I joined the team -- Team In Training. OMG.
They'll train me to run a half or full marathon or ride 100 miles on a bicycle while I will raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
Man. I never thought I'd ever do this. Ever.
I think I just went as far as I could training by myself. I need some support. I need a team.
The challenge is going to be amazing, physically and mentally.
I couldn't decide whether to train for the century ride, but I seriously didn't think that I could get my body in condition in just four months to ride 100 miles on a bicycle through part of the Texas Hill Country. No way.
So I decided to do another half marathon instead, in May. I figured I can run the entire half by then, no walking.
I will train for the Shinerbash Century in Austin in 2008.
That's the new goal, the next level.
I don't quite know how I happened upon or fell into this, but I'm glad I did and grateful to the power that brought me here.
