I recently submitted my blog to the Outdoor Blogger Network, a new site celebrating the great outdoors. They were kind enough to create a new directory category for me, Trail Running Blogs. I see they've also added a Mountain Biking blogs category, and they appear amenable to working with people to get sites involved. Head over and submit your blog, maybe they'll create a general endurance sports category for multisporters?

Tomorrow is the Red Bull Trail Daze. I picked up my race packet on Wednesday, thinking I was going to get a Red Bull Beanie like the one pictured above. However, I was mistaken, it's actually a Saucony winter running hat, pictured below. Mixed feelings on not getting the one with the propeller. :)
Have a great weekend, all!
Hi Kovas,
ReplyDeleteGreat list of books! I was just at the book store the other day looking at running books. Now if I could just have time to read:)
Good luck this weekend with the Red Bull Trail Blaze!

Good luck this weekend, I have The Long Run waiting to be read.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the race.
ReplyDeleteLong Run is on my Christmas list, but I haven't heard of the Myles Mayberry one - thanks for the tip!
ReplyDeleteGood luck this weekend, that beanie is still cool, even without the propeller!
Thanks for the new list of reads!
ReplyDeleteGood luck this weekend - can't wait to hear about it...
thanks for the list! finish strong this weekend! (i'd love to have that little hat too)
ReplyDeletexo
Darn. The multi colored beanie would have been great especially if the propeller was battery activated.
ReplyDeleteThe Long Run by Matt Long I have never read but he is a graduate of Iona College in New Rochelle, NY (like myself) so I take great pride in that and his story is UNREAL. If you never heard of Matt Long google him and just read a little bit of his story.
ReplyDeleteI like the Saucony cap.
ReplyDeleteI mean, don't get me wrong - the multi-colored propeller cap has more sex appeal - but hey, you can't have ALL the cool gear :)
i don't read. please do a review on each so I can pretend I read them.
ReplyDeletewhere is your emz shirt?
Have fun this weekend!
ReplyDeleteMatt Long is one of the most amazing and inspirational people ever. I have been waiting to get that book, it is on my Christmas list, I hope I get it.
Maybe we can be creative and attach a propeller to the winter running hat? Just give me a craft store and it's done!
ReplyDeleteI have some free Borders bucks - I think I need a new running book. Ya know, to make me feel worse than I already do ;).
ReplyDeleteHave a great race, big cheers from Denver for you!!
have fun!
ReplyDeleteNice hat and Great luck!!!

I recently submitted my blog to the Outdoor Blogger Network, a new site celebrating the great outdoors. They were kind enough to create a new directory category for me, Trail Running Blogs.
ReplyDeleteTHEY KNOW THERE DEALING WITH THE "TRAIL GURU" .
Great luck with your race.
You have my e-mail. please contact me at your soonest opportunity for my mailing address, so that you can send me my new Red bull hat.
p.s. thanks in advance.
The beanie with the spinny thing would have been much cooler! :)
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome about the Outdoor Blogger Network. Off to check it out...
why don't you pick up one of those bolsa wood/rubber band plane on the way home from work, take off the propeller assembly and make it yourself?
ReplyDeleteI'll see if I can find a propeller for you to add. Thanks for the network link. Looks like a great place to submit my guide blog once it is updated again.
ReplyDeleteEvery weekend I say I'm going write about my trips from the last year but I go ride my bike instead. I need an administrative assistant.
Good luck with trail run. Be safe, be awesome. I know you will be. =)
ReplyDelete*Please read my blog post for today. I am shamelessly plugging it coz I REALLY don't want YOU to miss it. Check it out and you'll understand why =)
Thanks for the reading list - I was just thinking about creating a new wish list for the holidays. Good luck with the race tomorrow. Chug a little Red Bull beforehand and you won't need the propeller to take off!
ReplyDeleteI think you lucked out with the alternative hat.
ReplyDeleteshame about the hat, you yould give it away since is such a no no. LOL. run hard!
ReplyDeleteGood Luck with the race!! Hope you celebrate with some potato sausage!
ReplyDeleteYes-no propeller just changes everything...
I've been thinking about running books and haven't read ANY of those! Thanks for the list!
Yeah, a list of reading for the holidays. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the race this weekend.
Good luck! Once a runner...great read! I am curious about the Matt Long book-may be good Christmas reading when I hide from my family for a few hrs. (oops did I just type that:P)!
ReplyDeleteI found your blog on OBN. While I spend most of my time fishing, I like to run too. I will "follow."

I'm definitely going to look at for those books. I'm always needing some new tricks and good stories!
ReplyDeleteHope your race went well - even without the propeller... :)
Hope you had a great race! You would have rocked the propeller :)
ReplyDeleteOnce a runner was a really good book. Just read it this fall. Is again to carthage any good?
