Tomorrow….
Tomorrow is my one-year anniversary as owner of Avenue Z Writing Solutions.
I always knew I could do it.
Tomorrow I will run the America’s Finest City Half Marathon, my third this year.
I am ready. I will finish strong. I will set a new personal record.
Tomorrow will be a great day.

I was just getting ready to ask how long before you are one year on your own. Congratulations.
Love Pop

Thanks, guys! Just a smidge over what I had hoped for time-wise for the half marathon. But it was a great race, and I finished strong.
Thanks for all the support.

CONGRATULATIONS for both events! They always say the first year is the hardest. I dunno if that’s really true or if it was true for me, but I do know freelancing is a very tough business and making it your first year is a huge achievement. So is the third marathon this year!!
Rock on, B!

Congratulations! It only takes a glance at the stats for business survival rates to gain respect for those starting their own business, and hanging in there. Way to go Beth!

Not sure on the stats for small business marathon runners (SBMRs for short)…
