I've taken a few days' break from running, so I just wanted to give a shout out to the running blogs linked to in the sidebar here. They're quite varied, to say the least.
52 Beginnings is from a runner in Leesburg, VA, who is running 52 marathons in 52 weeks for a charity that supports South African AIDS orphans. Dana Casanave, the author, was overweight for most of her life -- until she started running in 2006. She's lost 70 lbs. and runs marathons and ultramarathons. Quite inspiring.
The Happy Runner is a freelance writer and editor who gives running tips and logs her runs, which are usually 5K and 10K, but also the occasional marathon. Lite reading, but fun.
Between the Miles blogs about her training and running. Kara includes video "Runscapes" of her actual runs with narration. She likes Bob Marley.
Saturday Morning Zen features one primary author and posts from quite a few other runners. Lara Robinson combines mindfulness with her trail running. She is a professional writer, so this is a very good read. If you like yoga, zen and the outdoors, you'll like this.
Amy's Training Blog is written by Amy Reinink, a professional journalist. She gives tips and "tricks" to us non-professional runners. Lots of motivation and cross-training posts.
Be A Good One is written by who is approaching 50. She is in marathon training mode, and Zen and yoga dominate.
Running from Camera is my favorite. It is quite literally a blog of photos of the author/artist running away from the camera. Based in Europe, the author sets his camera timer on 2 seconds, clicks and runs away from the camera. What a great concept...
Back to running tomorrow. MC and I are going to hit the Swamp Rabbit downtown.
