6 Things I’ve Learned In 6 Months of Blogging

October 26, 2010 By Joel Runyon 28 Comments

Saturday was the official 6 month birthday of the blog. *Commence Applause* Honestly it’s not really much. When this whole thing started off as a personal project 6 months ago, I can't say I expected it to turn into what it did. Wow. 70 posts later, along with 3 triathlons, several other races, lots of new readers and some good friends, I've learned a lot in the last 6 month. Here are six key lessons: 1. Writing is the most important part of a ...

The July Edition of BIT updates is coming a little late. I'm sorry. I like to do these right at the end of the month, but I got caught up with my last minute triathlon. Either way, here it is. Better late than never. Blogging Looking Back In case you missed it, in the last month here at BIT we talked about how to really celebrate your freedom, and my new-found productivity thanks to waking up early.

And So It Begins…

April 3, 2010 By Joel Runyon 8 Comments

And so it begins... I officially signed up for my first "triathlon" ever.  Next week. *Gulp* The word triathlon is in quotes because I'm sure all real triathletes will scoff at the notion that I'm calling what I'm doing next week a triathlon for at least 3 reasons. It's Indoors It's Timed I'm Only Swimming In a  Pool That's 4 Feet Deep I'm okay with that.  This isn't the end goal for me.  It's a starting point.  I figured this is a nice baby step ...
