I've spent part of my afternoon 'googling' trying to find out how to promote myself. Who does that?!? Seriously, who takes time out of their busy life to try to find a way to promote their blog/facebook fan page? (By the way, my fan page is www.facebook.com/TodaysWordsOfGlass) Check it out and like it pretty please. ;)
I giggled like a little girl when I told my husband I got another 'like' - that makes 25 I said enthusiastically. He looked at me like - what is wrong with you? He's probably thinking that I really shouldn't have taken all of those antihistamines yesterday. Maybe I am on a Zyrtec buzz.
But yesterday was rough rough rough with the allergies. At 10pm last night, I told my husband, "Listen, I took an Allegra this morning, 2 hours later with the pharmacist's ok, I took a Zyrtec. I'm thinking it's probably frowned upon for me to take another one, but I'm in bad shape. So I'm taking another Zyrtec. If something happens, tell the paramedics I took the 3 allergy pills within the same 24 hours."... And then I drifted off to sleep.
How do I feel today? I got up feeling like I was hit by an antihistamine bus. Wow, I'm pretty sure that's what hangovers feel like. But I've been sneeze free for most of the day. I still can't breathe, but it's better than yesterday. So tonight I will take (just the one) Zyrtec and hope that after it gets into my system, that it will help. I have a 10 mile run that I need to complete tomorrow.
I had planned on doing a 10K today, but since I ran the 5K last weekend, I decided to skip it and get my LR in instead. I hope by tomorrow morning I can push through 10 miles.
More importantly, I hope I'm not down for the count after my LR tomorrow. This pollen has been brutal!

I am your newest follower on google+, FB and the rest of the Social networks. Look forward to reading your blog as I am getting ready to train for the first time in over 18 mths for a half marathon in October.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!

Thanks! You have a great blog. I'm not following you also!
DeleteI've thought about setting up a FB account and then I never do (other than have my own personal one). I run tired of the social media, ha ha :) I'm trying to decide if I really want to push my blog or just let it be as it is, I just run out of time for it all. Keep me posted on what you think about using FB for your blog :)
ReplyDeleteSince I only have about 30ish likes, I haven't decided yet. (ha). But I have 2 different blogs - one for running and the other my ramblings about being a stay-at-home mom. So I thought combining it on the FB page might work. But the verdict is still out!
DeleteI think you have a much stronger following on your blog than I do. Honestly, if you decide to do a FB page, I think you'd do well. I know I'd 'like' ya ;)
Ha ha ... we'll see. I never use FB other than to keep up with high school people and half the time that gets exhausting :)
DeletePromoting blogs appears to be a full time job. I seen other's who have a twitter and facebook site too. Allergies are aweful to have especially as a runner. I'm glad to read you consulted with the pharmacist before taking additional antihistamines. Your tenacity shows in your blog and your running.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I definitely called the pharmacist. I am better, but the allergy meds are making me feel bleh! I'm hoping that in another week or so that the tree pollen will be better. I have a Half in about 6 weeks, and I need to get back on track with my training.
DeleteAnd yes, I'm finding promoting a blog can be a lot of work. So far it't been fun. I'm not sure it's been successful since my followers are scarce. :)
