Inspiration. Right now.

Okay so right now these two people - Ben and Elizabeth - whom I've never met, are being a right real inspiration to me. They both have blogs about running and weight loss, which is what I'm trying to get into getting into right now for the new year - and I really want to stick with this for more than two weeks or three months or however long it takes for the novelty to wear off.

Ben of Ben Does Life and Elizabeth of One Twenty Five. Go read their blogs. I've also linked to their blogs from my homepage, under 'Places where I lurk'.

(Because that's what I do. Lurk around other people's blogs, Facebook and Twitter accounts, without saying much, if anything at all.)

Apart from their valiant efforts at getting fit and losing weight, I also admire how they are brave enough to share all this with the interwebs. With pictures and all. I guess if you're sharing your thoughts/experiences/journey/whatever, then you gotta put yourself out there and share everything, all 100% of it. No holding back. Me, I try not get my face on the internet, which makes it difficult to post personal photos...and we all know that a successful blog is, more often than not, a personal one. Especially all out, here's-a-photo-of-me-i-just-woke-up personal.

Maybe that's why no one reads my blog. And I'll probably never become a successful (i.e. well-known) blogging internet sensation.
