Whoops! Almost forgot about the Friday Five linkup this week. So I'm putting this up a little later than usual. But hey, it is Friday, so there are your five. This week we're stepping outside ourselves. This week's topic is
Five Blogs to Follow
1. Running with SD Mom
2. The Runner's Guide to Walt Disney World
Great book (which I've read and will eventually write about) but also a great blog. They have lots of runDisney related posts, so if you plan to do runDisney, be sure to give them a read. Even if you don't, still give them a read. That's the whole point of this week's topic, people!3. Adventures by Katie
4. Pittsburgh Runner
Next I have to share Kristy's Pittsburgh based running blog. Being a PA boy and that my wife went to school at Pitt, I love the city, so the Pittsburgh portion appeals to me. Beyond that, she writes about a lot of races, hosts a list of Pittsburgh Running Blogs, is doing the run in 50 states thing and one of my favorites things, has samples of Energy Bits available for sale. They're a great product, but only come in fairly large sizes, so this is a great way to give them a try and see if they work for. That's what I did and found that I love them.
5. T-Rex Runner
The last blog on my five pack of reading is going to the T-Rex Runner. She has a very humorous writing style laced with perfectly placed gifs. She seems very honest in her writing, sharing her thoughts and struggles, but still keeps it light and funny. I really enjoy her style more than anything, but it delivers good content as well. Don't want that to come out wrong.
Speaking of Following

ReplyDeleteYeah, they have some great post that add to the book. Great book too.

ReplyDeleteIt was hard because I wanted to pick blogs that weren't link up blogs, which eliminated a lot that are ones that would first come to mind.
