Konamoxt’s first 10 days

Konamoxt just passed it’s 10 day live mark.  Yes, it’s still in Beta, and that means a lot of bug fixes and improvements are still on the way (thanks Brad and Jeff!!!).  But overall, I’m very happy with the first 10 days.

 Most important – I want to thank all of you who have visited, signed up as members, given us feedback, posted problems and improvements, and supported us in many other ways we probably will never know about.  Konamoxt would be nothing without all of you.

 We have received a huge amount of positive feedback on our integrated workout logs and blogs.  We are glad you like it.  There are many, many ideas we have to make it even better; and there are many, many ideas you all have to make it better.  We want Konamoxt to be a place where people have the tools they need to fulfill on their goals – whether it’s to compete in an ironman for time, or to lose a few pounds and run your first 5k fun run.

We also see that many people have viewed our articles and training plans.  These are more tools to help you reach your goals.  A big thank you goes to Lisa, who has taken the lead on writing and accumulating these tools.  Our long term goal is to involve the community in contributing articles as well.  We know that the collective knowledge of the community will always be better and more diverse than the knowledge of a small team. 

For me personally, I am most happy about seeing the beginnings of our dream being fulfilled.  We want Konamoxt to be a place where people come to support and inspire each other.  That’s what transforms a place into a community.  We are seeing the support in the way people are reaching out to each other – whether you are a new blogger, a seasoned athlete, running your first marathon or tri, getting into shape for the first time, or even dealing with a slightly excitable horse (love your blog Kim). 

As fitness minded people and athletes, we could have life be just about ourselves – and there would be nothing wrong with that.  But we could also contribute to others as they start their journey as athletes and fitness minded people – and thereby change the world.  For me, that’s an even more interesting game to play.

So many blogs I see in other domains are about disagreeing with each other.  Ours is about agreeing with each other.  I like that better.  It is special, and it is rare.  You all make that happen.

Thanks again for your support.
