January 25, 2010 - Learning to Swim
In preparation for my first (sprint) triathlon this upcoming July, I have signed up for a local 8-week swimming course for adults. Let's hope I learn that crawl!
January 22, 2010 - Created HoCoSo
I created a new social network on Ning, called HoCoSo, short for Howard County Social and offering free
membership for young professionals in Howard County, central Maryland, who would like to socialize locally.
October 10, 2009 - Another 15.5% Down!
My third 5K this year, and I did it in 34:01 in cool, 60-degree weather. My goal was to run the whole thing and no walking. No time goal. Sadly, I did not run the whole thing. I walked
four short legs. But, that's because I pushed myself a little too hard. Should have just slowed down!!! Anyway, that's a 15.5% improvement over my August race.
August 9, 2009 - Improved by 20%
My first 5K, I walked in March. Baltimore Shamrock 5K, mostly downhill or flat, in cool (40's) misty weather. Result was 50:12. Completed my second
5K in 93-degree heat (felt like 100) at 6 PM at Boordy. Result was 40:15. My goal was 10% improvement (5 minutes). Man did I blow that out of the water: 20% improvement (10 minutes)!
Although I'll never make that percentage improvement again, it gives me hope to keep getting better. I'm starting a new
Races page to store my results.
July 27, 2009 - Taking Up Yet Another Sport
In the past twelve months, I've taking up indoor climbing, skiing, SCUBA, and geocaching, in addition to all the sports I already did!
Well, starting at the end of July, I am running now too. I'll be in my second 5k in a couple of weeks, and would like to run a portion of it.
Wondering what adventure sport or activity will come next...
April 6, 2009 - Amy Starts New Job
After two years with USinternetworking (USi), an AT&T company, I have moved on to a new job as the

podcasts, social media and networking campaigns, and much more) and on product development. My new commute is about 3.5 miles from my house.
I'm also working with some former Cygnus Business Media coworkers and really enjoying the clients, vendors, projects so far!
