Back on November 27th 2019, I wrote my first ever blog post.  I chose to describe my blog as “Balancing Life And Triathlon – Sharing To Inspire”.  Since that initial post, I have written a blog post, every day for 500 days in a row.

When I started blogging, I had no idea if I would be able to find enough things to write about.  There are days when I still struggle to find a topic, but I have to say, they are relatively few and far between.  I pretty soon realized, that I could just write about what was on my mind that day.  I was able to find something with a link to triathlon, almost all of the time.

Each evening, I sit at my laptop, find a suitable photograph and start writing.  It has become a routine and I really enjoy sharing my thoughts.  Over the course of those 500 days, I have received some fabulous feedback.  It really makes me happy, knowing that the few words I send out onto the internet each day, can sometimes help someone out.  It is why I do it.

I must admit that I am curious what people enjoy the most.  I had imagined that I would be able to write about races.  My thinking was that those posts, would be of most interest.  The Covid pandemic meant I haven’t raced much and therefore couldn’t write about races.  Despite this, people still read what I write.

I has been quite a journey.  Blogging for 500 days in a row, has been really rewarding for me and I hope it has been for you too.
