Really Fantastic Running Blogs?

posted about 2 years ago | Report

I started my blog at the turn of my year and I've been looking for some really outstanding running blogs to read on a regular basis. Anyone have any recs? (including your own!) I keep looking to see if there's a list of DM bloggers but I haven't been able to find one, so send me in that direction if I've just missed it. Thanks!

My own blog is a kind of motivational-transformation through running-training tips-Brigitte Jones kind of experiment: mythousandmileyear.com.

  I have a blog, but I haven't worked on it that much. I started a running streak on January 1st to spend some quality time with God every day of 2010, and to run every day of 2010. My blog is http://dadsmarathoncomeback.blogspot.com

  I will try my best this weekend to update it, and will keep it going as time goes on. Have a great evening, Sara. I will check out your blog when I have more time. I just love inspiring blogs. Helps motivate me more. God Bless You & Your-Family is My Dailymile Prayer.+

  I don't read the blog but I do listen to the associated podcast for Brandon's Marathon. Brandon puts out a really high quality and motivating podcast, so I'm sure his blog is just as good. He also has guest bloggers and links on his site.

  This is a great thread. I have found several blogs that I find very interesting, including yours. I would love for you to start following my blog if it interests you. My goal is to motivate people to live happier, healthier, more fulfilling lives. I am very optimistic that social media is the best way to reach people around the world and positively impact their lives. My blog is a work in progress, but it should only improve from this point forward. Thanks for the thread, and I will be keeping an eye on your blog. Good luck on the thousand mile year!! http://runridelive.blogspot.com/

  What a great bunch of blogs! I've added most of you to my feed reader.

  I'm just a newb at this whole thing and I'm really slow still but if you'd like to follow along you can find it here:
  http://www.mypersonalbiggestloserchallenge.life-blogs.com

  It started off as a weight loss blog but is becoming more running focused because for the past 7 weeks that is really what I love doing. The weight loss is a bonus but the miles are what keep me going.

  Some really great resources on this list. I don't have any to add to the resource list, but as far as a personal blog I have recently been trying to work on mine, still not up to anything on this list, but may entertain someone once in a while :) .. http://markxspot.blogspot.com/ Just recently I've been working on getting things in place and trying to arrange time to post regularly. Work, class and working out tend to get in the way, but this is a goal I have this year, to stick with it.

  Thanks for the list!

  I've got a running blog...

  http://old-runner.com

  I wanted to document my races when I first began running at age 56. I've kept it up through the first 120 races and I guess I'll keep it up until the wheels fall off. I really hate writing but seem to have an odd compulsion to do it anyway.
