Brittany and a very lucky Baby Mumbles

I won’t dwell on this but I was so shocked yesterday when I heard of Brittany Murphy’s death. At only 32, it is so sad to hear of yet another absolutely unexpected death, celebrity or no celebrity. Uptown Girls and Happy Feet are two of my favorite movies and I loved her in both. It makes me realize how quickly we can lose those closest to us and my heart goes out to everyone who has lost a family member in such a sudden way, especially so close to the holidays. Please remember to take this Holiday, not matter what you celebrate, to relax and not be caught up in all the worldly things we worry about all the time and just focus on being with those you love. I’m not very good and putting my anxiety aside but its such a great feeling to be the in presence of those I love and who love me.

Anyway, I was to propose something to all your wonderful BlogHers and Hims (I finally came up with a name for my blog friends!) Congrats to Tall Mom who made her goal of 1,000 miles in a year! I have been inspired! So here it is…1,010 for 2010! That’s right people, I am going to attempt 1,010 miles in the year 2010. It seems like a really fun way to keep me motivated and I love having a goal to work towards. So here’s the question…who’s with me? I would like to get a bunch of blog friends involved. The only rule is no cheating. Even though my ultimate goal is to run all 1,010 of my miles, you can log your miles however you chose. Bike them, run them, walk them, swim them, eliptial (I know this isn’t a real word) them, heck, you can walk them backwards, crab walk them, or walk them on your hands! Or do a mix of a bunch of different things! Whatever floats your boat and is right for your body.

So whose with me?! I will keep everyone posted on my progress and I would be happy to keep an ongoing progress record for anyone interested and maybe it would be fun to post everyones progress once a week. Comment this post if your interested and spread the word! All I need if your name and how you plan to log your miles (of course you are welcome to change at any time). We can keep each other motivated and meet a common goal. =)
