This is why the Internet is awesome. On this journey, I already had stumbled upon the 1095 Miles Folks who were on the same journey -- running 3 miles a day and raising money for a charity.

Next thing I know, I get a note from a friend saying that she was recently dining with one of her friends and they got to chatting about the friend's desire to draw more (read daily). She mentioned my @RunningThree65 effort and then was nice enough to send a link to her friends site, The Daily Dra (Picture #1 is right over there <----), saying she was a '365 instigator' (woo-hoo!)

She had tried a daily drawing activity before that wasn't successful but what's great about this reboot -- she's following one of Noah's Make Something 365 recommendations about 'broadcasting the effort to your friends' so you are making a public declaration about your intentions.

I must admit, I didn't follow that advice at first with @RunningThree65 for a couple of reasons:

• I honestly wasn't sure after 3 years of basically not running if I could phsyically do it.
• I wasn't sure if my lifestyle (Dad, working, etc) was even going to have a prayer of supporting it.
• Did not want to pull the 'hey, look at me' and then run for only a day or two.

So I really only told one person, who I'd update via cryptic text every couple of days (2 runs, 7 runs, 2 weeks, 30 days, 45 days, etc) and S, who I didn't tell per say but who was smart enough to notice the fact that I was running more in the month of January than I'd run all of 2010.

I must admit, as the days rolled on (45, 60, 90, 120), I had all of the intentions of 'getting the word out' but just couldn't get around to it. My site was not looking right (althought I was capturing the stories in near real time starting around 1/22/11), the charity's site was down, etc.

I also knew that I wouldn't be blogging about it daily, so I wanted there to be a 'body' of work there for folks to read when I made it 'official'

But once I got it rolling -- it was awesome. Good luck Supergirl!
