Other Blogs I Like

This listing of blogs I like is linked to from the sidebar of my blog. It will be used to recognize blogs that I like, while keeping the number of blogs I link to on the main page limited. I read enough of them that keeping them listed there forces things I'd like to keep accessible far off the bottom of the page. This is my solution.

Running Blogs:
Little Miss Runner Pants - an amusing blog about running and the life of a twenty-something woman in the middle west.

Running With Lydiard - Mike Salkowski documents his efforts to follow legendary running coach Arthur Lydiard's training program. Mike is assisted in interpreting Lydiard's advice by noted Lydiard authorities, Nobby Hashizume, Glenn McCarthy and others.

Boston or Bust - Vince Hemingson's blog documenting his efforts to qualify for and run the granddaddy of North American Marathons.

See Us Run - this website documents the fourth and fifth grade classes from Russell Elementary School as they work to complete a virtual run across the United States. It will continue through the end of the school year, when, if either of the classes has arrived at the Atlantic Ocean, then Mr. Paul Staso, husband of their physical education teacher, Mrs. Vicki Staso, will run across the country following their route.

Alison's Running Blog - Start Now - Alison Wade's blog, which is currently transitioning from a blog about her life and training to more of a running news and commentary site. Ms. Wade started the Fast Women and Men's Racing Photo Websites, which she later sold the NYRRC.

Walking Blogs:

Ultrawalker - Marshall King documents his ultrawalking adventures. Marshall recently became a Centurion by completing a 100 mile walk in 24 hours.

Fat Man Walking - Steve Vaught's website tracking his trek across the United States. Steve, an ex-Marine (OK, some will argue that you're never an ex-Marine), husband, and father who had become very overweight seeks wisdom and understanding while making a transnational amble.

Weight Loss Blogs:

Twice The Man - G.R. Hamm's blog documents his weight loss from a peak of 431 lbs. At that level, his health was in serious jeopardy. He's working to get himself down to a weight that is healthier. Currently (end of 2005), he weighs 359 lbs! See what he's doing now.

The Skinny - John Cotey's blog about his efforts to lose weight. Cotey is a sports reporter for the St. Petersburg (FL) Times, so the writing is excellent. It was accompanied by a series of columns in the paper.


Other Blogs:



I should also note that unless a blog is truly exceptional, it will not show on my Blogs I like lists until it has been published regularly for at least a couple of months. (I've seen a great many blogs that started nicely disappear after several weeks.) You can improve the odds of showing up on these lists by commenting regularly on my blog or by linking to it, either in posts or on the sidebar of your blog.
