Everyday, I check my blog stats, I can see how many people stop by, and look at what they type in the search engine that directs them to my web page. It’ s usually the same stuff like “Carli Running” or “Couch to 5K podcast” or “How do you get in shape running?” But today, Oh my goodness I got the best laugh! Somebody searched online and typed “Does Joel Osteen wear a weave?” and found my RunningIntoShape site! That was so freaking hilarious. I love the motivational preacher Joel Osteen and I love my hair weave. But I promise, there are no posts about Joel Osteen’s hair here. His hair is always fabulous, but I seriously doubt that it’s “weave.” However, I did get a new weave on Saturday, and I love it. Check out my bathroom shot of my new hair do! I’m still laughing. By the way, I did work out today, running and the elliptical, but it’s super late, so I’ll give the details tomorrow. I just had to share my funny story. Later!

Hey Helen! It was 104 degrees today. I wouldn’t wish this heat on anybody. The St. Louis Carli Fierce 5K? I love it. Maybe one day.

Week 7 Day 1 today! I thought about you (not just your voice) this morning while you were telling me to push that last minute, and I hope you’re running today, too. We’re part of your “great cloud of witnesses.” Go!

I’m another one that found you through “Couch to 5K podcast,” but I’m excited to go back through your archives and check out the rest of your journey thus far!

Carli,
You are such an inspiration. I lost all of my motivation to lose weight bc I don’t have a workout partner. You have motivated me so with your story that I plan to download your podcasts this weekend and give it a go starting Monday. Thanks so much and keep up the awesome work!

Lin, you didn’t lose “all” of your motivation, because you were still surfing the internet trying to figure out how to move forward. I hope that my podcasts and my sometimes too real blog can inspire you on your new journey to health and fitness.
