I’ve learned that blogging is so much easier when you steal borrow someone else’s stuff. Although many will also be reading JT’s blog, those who aren’t should head over for her report of interviews taken before the Healthy Kidney 10K. Who knew “I’m a blogger” could get you free coffee? I mean, who isn’t?
Here’s the Link: Healthy Kidney 10K: The Front Runners
The piece was picked up for LetsRun’s front page and thence to Track & Field News, but if you haven’t seen it before, you saw it here first. As I’ve noted, when I had the chance to run with an elite runner (and I’ve also run with plenty of sub-elites), it was pretty much like running with anyone else.
Also, some weeks ago I characterized a blog from which I had been removed — JT’s not there either — as taking “the all-encompassing approach.” Umbrage was taken. I just figured with scores of blogs listed they all couldn’t be followed. I apparently erred. I apologize.
Also in that post I noted a local eighth grade girl who had run 5:01 for the 1600. She’s now run sub-5 for a mile. Ouch indeed.

How very interesting. That sounds like a complete and utter retraction to me.
I think about listing my ‘must-reads’ (of which your blog is one Joe), but I read 50+ blogs about running and sometimes think it’d be like listing one’s favourite relatives. I wouldn’t want to receive an indignant email from Aunty Jessie.

Ewen, It’s not as though I don’t read, and enjoy, other blogs, but I figure a tighter list is more useful, Aunt Jessie be damned.
I’ve thought of using the first part of the clip for another blogger, this one is one we both know and love, but her language has taken a turn for the better.

Yes, I haven’t heard her use “snot-nosed” or “giant twerp” in quite a few posts.
I may go the more useful list (when I get a round tuit), and see if Aunty Jessie reacts.
