Closing Up Shop on PhatJosh.com
When I launched PhatJosh.com back in early 2010 I really did it as a way to stay accountable for my health. I mainly used it as a blog to track my weight loss, workouts and everything else that came with trying to lose 100+ lbs. It naturally evolved into a running blog as I evolved as well.
Over the past decade I’ve blogged my race reviews, about my health problems and everything in between. It’s been a great place for me to share my story with others. And, while I am closing shop on this blog, I am really just moving things over to a Blogger site, Josherwalla.com, I’ve had for a couple years. I’ve kept it lowkey and in waiting because I knew this site would eventually end.
The biggest reason why I am making the movie is money, I’ve paid about $100 a year to maintain this page on a WordPress template. The new site is a free website on Blogger. So, really it’s saving me … well about $100 a year. I love using a WordPress template and everything that comes with that — but — I also like saving my money as well.
I am still going to post my race reviews on Josherwalla. I will still write about my fitness. I will still talk about all of my struggles and triumphs. But, I’ll also be writing about more than just fitness and running stuff. I’ll include my muses, thoughts, adventures and whatnot. That will include what’s going on with Radio Ronin, life and everything else in between.
So I guess you could say that I am transitioning from a running to more so a personal blog. Something I’ve tried to keep seperate, but really — why? Plus, there’s so much more to my life than just running and I want to be able to share that.
This site will still be up until around March-ish, but I have already made the full-time switch to Josherwalla.com. If you would like to follow me there I’d love your company. And, remember you can always follow me on social media @josherwalla on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
Thanks for the support over the past six years and see you on Josherwalla.
