One year ago today, I clicked “publish” on the first ever JoggingJeans.com post. And here we are, a year later and closing in on 100,000 views. Unbelievable.
Some thoughts based on the last year:
1) Did you ever think there were so many people that exercised in denim? I NEVER thought that there would be enough pictures of people jogging and working out in jeans to keep this going for a full year.
2) I also never thought that there were so many people that want to LOOK at people exercising in denim. You people are weird. 
3) It is surprising to me that a silly (ok, ridiculous) little website that started out as a joke could bring such joy to my life.
4) The joy is because of YOU, the viewers of JoggingJeans.com. Despite your weirdness, you are awesome. Truly. Thanks for the pictures, Tweets, emails, and comments.
5) I have learned that the blogging community is made up of some pretty amazing people. Even though we haven’t met, I consider some of you friends.
6) I started this site thinking that people that jog in jeans are weird and partially insane. But there has been a shift in my thinking over the past year; jean-joggers are increasingly becoming more and more awesome in my mind. When this happened or why this happened, I’m not sure – maybe I’ll figure that one out in the next year.
Enjoy a year in review of my favorite jean-wearing joggers and their pictures:

/ October 12, 2012Congratulations on this milestone. If I ever start jogging, I will know, thanks to you, not to be so lame as to do it in jeans. Unless I get a picture of myself doing it and send it to you. Then I will be awesome. Oh, wait….I’m leaving a comment. So I’m awesome already. Yes!
