I’ve been tagged by Andrew over at Andrew is Getting Fit to write a 6 word memoir. After much thought, I’ve decided on:
“She did what made her happy.”
One of my goals–in running and in life–is to do what makes me happy. Being “happy” encompasses many things to me. It means I’m in control of my own life. It means I make my own decisions, and I do things that bring me joy. Happiness isn’t short-term, and it isn’t easy. In fact:
Running brings me long-term happiness because it’s so difficult.
I’m sure you understand.
So there you have it. I’m tagging:
Jeff at “My Journey from Couch Potato to Trail Runner”
Allison at “A Beginning Runner’s Weblog”
Chris at “Gibtown Runner”
Linda at “Gymnotes”
Joe at “Learning to Run”
These are the rules:
- Write your own six word (max) memoir.
- Post it on your blog and include a visual illustration if you want.
- Link to the person who tagged you in your post.
- Tag at least five more blogs.
- Leave a comment on the tagged blogs with an invitation to play.

I totally understand that. If running was so easy, why would we do it.
Now the pressure is on me; thanks for the tag!
Ooh great memoir! I really like that sentiment.
>>”Running brings me long-term happiness because it’s so difficult.”
Well said. I look forward to thinking and writing about this - good thing you didn’t give me a deadline!
Thanks everyone, and I can’t wait to read all of your “memoirs.”
Thanks Beth!!!
