Musings on "I'm Gonna Get Fat!" - (with a little aside on Twitter)...

My friend Jay just inspired me with his recent blog post entitled "I'm Gonna Get Fat!" all about how he can't run for 3 whole months (doctor's orders) because of a minor hip injury.

My excuse for not running for 2 weeks now - I'm too busy.

Work is great, school is great, church is great, life is great - it's just that all of the really great things that go along with all of them are really sorta taking up lots & lots of time in my day, and I'm not managing to get it all done.  The problem is I have to figure out a way to find time to start running again because I'm still planning to run the St. Jude half marathon in December... at least that's what I'm told - right, Samina?

So then there's this whole other thing - it's Twitter.  Oh yeah, everybody's doing it.  Soon, people won't have to actually have conversations, they'll just "twitter."  I think we should do a few Twitter groups as some fall small groups at the church.  Honestly, I'm on it for fear of being ostracized by my peers, but I have some Twitter jitters, if you will.  What if I don't update my Twitter status regularly?  What if it kind of falls by the wayside like my blog does (oops)... will I fall out of grace with my followers?  Isn't that whole concept kind of freaky anyway - I have "followers".  The whole thing is just a little weird to me, and I'm not quite used to it yet.  I wouldn't say I'm Twitter bitter.  Maybe it just takes some getting used to...
