B is for Blogging


loveblogging

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 hope to meet many more bloggers. Hint…hint!!

Happy Running!  Why do you blog?  Do you read a lot of blogs?

  3. 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.

  4. 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:)

  6. 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.

  7. 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.
