Broadening the horizons…

I have  a pretty long blog list, it runs (no pun intended) the gamut of the endurance sports world from midpackers to elites. It includes many that I am sure you are familiar with, Frayed Laces, ChicRunner and DCRainmaker to name but a few (and if you’re not you should be) but there are also a few that you might be less familiar with and in fact these span the world geographically. So let me introduce you to five blogs you never knew you needed to read!

Just us and a Few Friends: Ian is a fell runner, ultra runner and photographer who documents his jaunts in the English countryside, always with sense of humor and a great eye for the camera!

imageBanff Trail Trash; Leslie is a skier, trail runner, adventure racer and lover of the great outdoors, she travels, races, writes and roams about the mountains in her back yard; Banff!

imageCompetitive Cycling; Groover is a German import into Brisbane Australia, a cyclist since 20o3, she’s climbed the ranks through blood sweat and gears and now races Elite Woman B, follow her if you can!

Tony Western States 2010; Tony lives by and will be racing the Western States Endurance Race this June, follow his training and he takes you to that start line and the finish line!

The Running Fat Guy; Glenn is a relative local, about 100 miles south of me, in the third year of running, he is "just an old guy…trying to get fast, drop weight, and keep it fun!” You can’t say fairer than that!

So there you have it some new reads for you, pretty diverse and definitely global, UK, USA, Canada and Australia!  Take a peek, leave a comment and stick around for the ride!
