5 Great Running Blogs You Probably Haven't Read

How many of you participate in blog linkups? Do you drop a link, read a few posts that were linked ahead of you, and move on? Or do you come back later to see what's been dropped after you linked up? One of the purposes of linkups is to help bloggers grow through supporting other bloggers. Linkups also allow you to find new blogs that you may not have learned about otherwise.

I was a runner long before I started blogging, and even then I went to linkups to read running blogs for inspiration. I was so inspired by what I read that I started my own blog. My first post, titled The Gift of Running, was published 4 years ago. That first post wasn't read by many people and it's pretty rough, but you have to start somewhere, right? While my blog has blossomed over the past 4 years, it wouldn't have happened without the support of linkups and other bloggers.

Last week, I started co-hosting duties with my friend Holly at the Weekly Wrap linkup. We had 50 linkers. Since the link up is open for 3 days, there are late linkers who don't get a lot of love from people who linked several days before. That's a shame because there are some real gems at the end of the linkup! For today's Friday 5 post, I wanted to share 5 of my late linking favorites from the Weekly Wrap.

Angie lives and runs in Minnesota. Her trail run pictures are breathtaking. She also cooks up some tasty looking treats!


Running Over the Hill

Karen is a dear friend who runs and runs and runs. She's got a great little blog and her cute personality shines through every post. 

Les Plus Beauxx

Maybe I'm just partial to Montana bloggers. Elizabeth lives and runs in a beautiful place. Her blog is scenic and inspiring. The title loosely translates to "the most beautiful" in French. She's been blogging for over 12 years, starting as a craft blogger, but has morphed into a running blogger since starting running in 2014.

Catherine Runs Around

Catherine is a brand new blogger who is training for Boston. Let's read and support her and help her grow!

Are you a linker and leaver or do you come back to linkups to search for hidden treasures? Have you read any of these blogs? Do you have any blogs to suggest? I plan on featuring blogs from the Weekly Wrap from time to time!

If you have any running or fitness blogging buddies who want to be part of a fun community, send them to the Weekly Wrap every Sunday-Wednesday, right here on Taking the Long Way Home or on HoHoRuns! 

I'm linking up with Running on Happy and Fairytales and Fitness for the Friday 5.0!
