Writing a blog motivates me to run and keep running. In fact, I started my blog when I started running. It keeps me accountable. I can keep track of my running and my races. I can look back to see how I did on a particular race (esp. course details). I can whine. I can complain. (I even blog when I am injured and can’t run.) I can even brag. And I can ask for advice.
More important are the bloggers. The ones whose blogs I read faithfully and those I read occasionally. The blogs that make me laugh and the ones that make me cry. The ones that I comment on. The ones that make me say “Me too” or “I didn’t know that.” And most importantly, those who not are just bloggers but my FRIENDS.

I met AJH through blogging

I met Felice (on the left) through blogging
I hope to meet many more bloggers. Hint…hint!!
Happy Running! Why do you blog? Do you read a lot of blogs?




It would be awesome to meet you someday Darlene, so glad that we are blogging friends!

does tracking on “Runkeeper” count? I agree….it makes you accountable and the info readily available. So far, your blog is my first and only. I find it enjoyable and educational. Thanks.

I’ve blogged for over 10 years but it’s been my new running blog that’s helped me the most I think.
And I’m all for meeting my fellow bloggers! You run in some pretty beautiful places:)

I agree blogging helps keep me accountable.
I set a goal and then I post on my blog for the entire world to see.
I hate posting that I fell short.
I have even signed up for a 2nd marathon this year because I know I will fall short of my goal of qualifying for Boston on 4/6th.

I love that we are IRL friends. And I love that you love racing as much as I do. Here’s to injuries going away and staying away.
