join my community on endurance.
One great thing about keeping this blog since last December has been all the local (Lexington, Kentucky) training partners and runners that have shared some insight with me after reading my thoughts and articles on training.
For me, it has been a great opportunity to share my attempt to continually challenge my endurance while remaining balanced and healthy.
As the blog continues to grow, I have also found that others (not local) have come on board and shared their ideas too. I would like to help foster this community of runners and endurance minded athletes.
2 ways to improve the community dynamic
1. Join my blog community at mybloglog.com. I found this community site by reading FeldThoughts and have liked the dynamic it has added to his site. (Brad Feld is attempting to complete the 50 States and DC challenge. Which is how I found his site.)
The www.mybloglog.com/buzz/ feature is something that could help foster the community with all of us running (endurance minded) bloggers. So if you have an endurance focused blog, try it out. And join my community.
2. The other way that I hope to continue building this community is through our forums on our website.
The best outcome of using the forums was for the Sugar N Spice ultra. It was through that race and Nikki's blog that we met Angie. And through the forums were able to discuss with her some things about the race before she made her way to Kentucky.
Over the years, I have used Gordo's forum's to seek advice and pass ideas by other triathletes. They have been very valuable. Unfortunately he had to take them down this past week. I hope that our discussions can be as helpful to others at some point.
There are a lot of endurance minded athletes out there. Hopefully these two methods with help to strengthen some of those communities within my circle.

the myblog community seems interesting. if I register my blog, can I still be a member of another person's blog community? I was surfing around trying to figure it out...my brain's not working right tonight...
I think your guys' forums are pretty cool.
yes you can. i first registered to join brad's community then added my blog to it. not only can you get a community started, but look at brad's site and see how it shows the last readers to come by his blog. also, look on my site and check out the link tracking feature they offer, "most popular link", "second most popular link", etc... it let's you know a lot about what people are clicking through to (such as my profile right now.. i must come across as a little shady?)
as I use it more.. I'll try to share.
