It's Always More Fun With Friends

I have always found that it is always more fun to share the running experience with friends and family.  My running has motivated my two older children to also start running.  They have both ran local kids races and even a few 5K's.  I have also met a lot of new friends through my running experience.  This past spring I met with these two ladies to ride together to Louisville to do the Kentucky Derby Half-Marathon.  It's great to share stories and advice with others.  Reading blogs is another great way to do this.  Here are a few great runners' blogs where the individuals share their stories, advice, tell about races, and just talk all things running.  Some of these blogs are really funny. 

Skinny Runner:  Skinny Runner is very funny!! I literally laughed out loud multiple times.  She gives lots of advice on running and whatever else is going on in her life.  Very fun to follow.
Runners World - Beginners : Written by Susan Paul, a well-known writer for Runner's World, this blog was created for the beginning runner.  You submit the questions, she provides the answers.
HungryRunnerGirl: Janae is a much more planned and serious runner, but I really like how she incorporates her life and her running into her blog.  So many women are struggling with the demands of family, work, and the desire to stay in shape.  Make sure you check out her January 29, 2013 post titled The 10 Things I Wish I Knew as a New Runner.  I thought this was an awesome post.
Livestrong: This blog provides great advice on running as well as nutrition and many other topics.  The posts are written by various people.  Almost like little articles, the title should tell you quickly if it is something you would like to read or not.  I enjoyed a few of their more recent posts.
Mile Post: This is Dorothy Beal's blog about her experiences running and in life.  As a former overweight smoker, she used running to turn her life around.  I really liked that she posts all of her times so that you can see how she has improved through the years.  So many people get discouraged when they don't start out at an awesome pace. 

Hope these blogs give you some insight into what others are experiencing.  Happy Running!!
