To hook another nutmegger up:<\/p>\n
1) How long have you been blogging about running?<\/span><\/p>\n Here – for a couple of months. But on my circle of friends blog<\/a>, I’ve been posting about running for about 15 months. I moved the running to this page since the other was getting a little more political. I’m a Reagan conservative (no wishy-washy compassion attached) with a pretty wide libertarian streak; most of my buds are pretty liberal in the good, old school sense. I wanted to be able to keep this from getting lost in the wash. Running transcends party lines. I also didn’t want to bore them (Though there are a couple of other runners – Becky and Matt<\/a> did the Austin Marathon again this year.<\/p>\n 2) What was the first running blog you stumbled across?<\/span><\/p>\n Sean Lloyd’s site<\/a><\/p>\n 3) What made you seek out running blogs in the first place?<\/span><\/p>\n Inspiration. When I was an instructor at Sub School in Groton, it was great to have about a dozen guys with whom to run on a regular basis. When I got out of the Navy and moved into the real world, no-one in my office in Houston ran (or would publicly acknowledge it – sports involving sweating or alternative transportation are kind of taboo in the land of the interstates). Moving up to New England made road sports much safer, and I was able to con a friend into running with me, but it’s nice to keep up with others.<\/p>\n 4) What is the best advice you’ve been given thru your blog?<\/span><\/p>\n Keep at it.<\/p>\n 5) Do you feel that the running blogs (yours and others) have helped you in your quest to become a better runner? If yes, please elaborate.<\/span><\/p>\n Yes, if for nothing but the encouragement. Let’s face it – the key to becoming a better runner is “Wake up, slap on shoes, pound out miles, wash, rinse, eat, sleep, repeat.” Knowing that there are others out there repeating the same process is priceless.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" To hook another nutmegger up: 1) How long have you been blogging about running?
