We Need a Group Name. Any Suggestions?

I've been visiting various blogs and leaving messages in hopes of creating a nice network of people who share a number of commons interests. Please don't be intimidated though if you're just starting in an area like running, mountain biking, writing or whatever it is that gets you feeling like a kid again. We all need to try new things or recapture that feeling. I know there are people out there like me that have had a desire to pursue something that they previously didn't have the time because of family commitments etc.. Why not take a chance and give it a shot now?

I'm in the process of thinking about changing careers. Let me know if you're having some of those same feelings.  There's a John Mayer song on his first CD, Room For Squares, called No Such Thing.  It talks about people pursuing "safe" areas for a career etc... Part of the lyrics uses the language "They love to tell you "stay inside the lines". But something's better on the other side."  It's taken me some time, but I'm finally fighting off the status quo. How about you?

  3. Ken- Count me in and I'm not sure if I'm brave or stupid,but I've yet to experience any regrets. I love March Madness,the Red Sox and I'm a huge fan of John Mayer..we are kindred spirits.

  4. Ken- Thanks for the comment on my blog. I think it would be fun to join your group. I've done quite a bit of running over the past few years and certainly have some things to share (and to learn!).

  5. Jon,

    I was in Minnesota back in 2002 with the CT Wildland fire crew. We helped with a fire close to the Canadian border in northeastern part of the state. I guess I'm your first follower.

  6. Ken-

    I hope you enjoyed your time in Minnesota, not sure how far you where from the North Shore of Lake Superior, but that will likely be the subject of a future post. Thanks for following.

  9. Thanks for the comment! I'd love to join, you follow me and I'll follow you!

    I appreciate the tip. Actually, I'm just treating the 8-mile race as another training run because I'm training for a longer race in December, and I really need to hill work. The week of that week, though, I am absolutely skipping it!

  11. CeeMe,

    Thanks for stopping by. It's starting to get cold on the east coast. I've got to get ready to take out the warmer running gear soon. I bet you don't have the same problem.
