the who and what of me.

i am and always have been a very athletic person. i can throw perfect spiral footballs many many yards, repeatedly; i can swim, skate, tumble, throw and catch baseballs with speed and accuracy; i can jump, shoot hoops, crush a volleyball and play pool; i can do a long jump, triple jump, and throw a shotput, i can play tennis, raquetball, and badminton. i can play ultimate frisbee, soccer and ping pong. I can cycle and lift weights and climb walls. And i can RUN

I'm confused. Which of your three blogs ("trippedbyit", "road, trail, track" or "oneingatl") is your official running blog?

afuntanilla said...

joe -- this is the running blog! somehow road.... got deleted so i had to start this one!

Joe said...

Okay, what does "oneingatl" mean? I can't even pronounce! And what's the deal with "afuntanilla"? Is that your real name? A nickname?

afuntanilla said...

joe - the name is as follows

one - first one, inagural
ing -- ING (the sponsor)
atl -- Atlanta, where i live


a - first initial
funtanilla -- last night

Joe said...

Ah, now I get it.

Joe said...

Now that the ING marathon is over, are you going to change the name of your blog?
