Love the post today by blogger Miles, she echos most of my feelings about running & the benefits to blogging about fitness.  Her site is a huge inspiration, I visit it often, her personal race write-ups & runner profiles are fantastic.  http://www.mile-posts.com/


Miles Blog:
Using Your Blog as a Training Tool

Blogging has changed my life.  It sounds like a dramatic statement, 

but it's true.  It can change your life too and possibly help you 

become a faster, more consistent or happier runner.
How?
Blogging and using sites like dailymile or even 

Foursquare can help keep you accountable to 

your training.  It is harder to skip a run when 

you know that what you did or did not do 

for the day will be posted for all your friends 

or training partners to see.

In order to have a successful relationship with running, 

you must do it for yourself.

What do I mean? You are ultimately the only person who can get you out 

the door. The only person who can push yourself farther or faster on a run.  

You are the person who will have the internal head battle that all of us 

runners have.  Should I run today? Will I feel better if I run? I'm tired, 

maybe sleep is more important today? I ran 2 days this week - I really 

deserve a rest day - right? You can not and should not run to impress 

others, to make someone else happy~it has to come from with in - in order 

for it to become a life long endeavour.
