Blogs: A couple of good ones.

The first thing that I have learned about this whole blogging world, is that it is like a buffet: there's something out there for everyone. From cat hotels, to schools for the blind, everyone is blogging about everything.              

However, I am a  runner, and spent some time scouring the Web for some advice and tips on training as well as racing stories.

The blog that I found was a personal one, that is actual on this website. The sells itself something "to give the readers information on a variety of topics associated with racing, health and fitness, apparel, products, training tips, funny videos and any other relevant topics."

Endurance Race Finder is a blog that is actually part of a separate website that serves a tool for those in search of an endurance race in their area. They use the blog to post articles and videos related to all sorts of racing.

Secondly, I searched for a more professional blog. Flotrack is a Website designed for runners and Track & Field participants/fans to keep up on what the professional athletes have been up to. It is a great site that also has useful resources for mapping training and races. 

The blog on this site features roughly 30 professional runners who all discuss different topics. The blog I chose, is by James Carney. Carney seemed to have one of the most up-to-date posts. I enjoyed scanning through his posts. However, I wish he would have put up more videos/links.
