I was commenting on Heather‘s post about her NYC marathon experience and I said to her that she is “amazing and incredible and inspiring and awesome.”  (She really messed up her ankle this summer… she and I were gimpy invalids for a long time at the same time!  And she pulled out a marathon finish on 10 weeks of training.  I’m super proud of her.)

Anyway, when I wrote that it just kind of struck a chord with me that it should be some kind of acronym that I could use for so many people out there in the blogosphere.  I am constantly in awe of so many of you, my fellow blog and twitter and dailymile friends… as well as all the people on my Team Challenge group (now and all of those in past seasons.)

Thank you all for being #aiia! (Yes, I’m creating my own hashtag for this!)
