When you were young

Today My Running Shorts celebrates the milestone one year anniversary (birthday?).  When I started writing people -mostly  people who do not run- questioned my ability to sustain a blog about a limited topic.  They underestimated my tendency to find adventure on the run.  And the tendency for adventure to find me while I’m running.

To celebrate I share with you my 10 Greatest Hits in year one (based on number of views).  For my 10 greatest misses go here

Counting down, from #10 down to #1:

10. Miles IV searches for a new name and, I hope, new luck.  Introducing ?

9. Are you a runner or a jogger? In short: if you are reading this, you are a runner.

8. Running on a beloved childhood street.  Sesame Street.

7. How far is THIS marathon?  And other fun questions.

6. The day I hated running.  Otherwise known as the Waterfront 1/2 Marathon.

5. How to outrun a bear.  Answer: you can’t.

4. The red carpet to the New York City Marathon.  Are you faster than a celebrity?

3. Fox on the Run.  Will run for Michael J Fox.

2. The Underwear Affair.  To wear or not to wear?

And the #1 post from Year 1 is …..

1. Barney Stintson tells us how to run marathon.  Step 1: start running.

 

Title Reference:  The Killers – When You Were Young.  From the album Sam’s Town. 2006.

  1. Congrats on year one! Keep em coming!

  2. happy birthday/anniversary! you’ve been very entertaining and are always good for a laugh :)

  3. Happy blogging! I’m only one day older. I’ll buy the cigs and alcohol. ;)

    • Interesting that you chose to begin on the last day of February rather than the first day of March. I’m certain this reveals soemthing about your personality, but I’m not quite sure what.

  4. Thanks for being the first place I go when I have the hankering for creepy shorts-related search posts!

    The many smiles you have brought over the past year is almost enough for me to forgive you for last night’s closing ceremony. I assume since it’s such a small country you were personally involved. Shame.

    • I’m blaming Russia. And a hockey hangover. Could you feel the aftershocks from the collective cringe during O’Hara’s apology monologue? I’m terribly sorry about that. At least NBC had the sense to cut off the closing ceremonies to show what I’m sure was an inspiring new reality show starring or hosted by or in someway connect to Seinfeld.

  5. For bringing the Sesame Street “Everybody Run” song into my life, you win the Blog Of The Year Of The Day award. Congrats!

  6. Congratulations! Thanks for the laughs and insightful information.

  7. Happy birthday run shorts!!

  8. HaPpY BiRtHdAy!!!!!

  9. Your “Birds and Bees” post didn’t make the list? Darn, that was my fav.

    Happy blog day! Looking forward to another year.

  10. Just found you recently and your sense of humor is great to see! Keep up the good work.

  11. Congratulations on one fantastic year of blogs!

  12. Happy Anniversary! Hope you went out for a run in celebration!!
