A Passion for Running

Well, our poor old Running Blog Family World Map died a long, slow death because Aaron and I simply didn’t have the time we needed to add you terrific people to it.

But Google’s come to the rescue. That’s right, we’ve rebuilt the Running Blog Family World Map using Google Maps and WordPress!

So, the RBF World Map is ready for you but it will only take off with your participation. That’s because we’ve set it up so that you enter your own information.

What are you waiting for? Run on over there, read the instructions and let’s get to building a map!

My Roger Bannister post from the other day got me thinking about legendary runners and that lead me to Running past – a terrific website that exists to honor those legends. It’s got facts, figures, photos and video clips of some pretty awesome running legends including Steve Prefontaine, Billy Mills, Emil Zatopek and more. Check it out!

The brainchild of Derek, this week’s run down has been brought to you by Elizabeth over at Run With Me. Here’s the link. Nicely done Elizabeth!

I wish more of this was going on in schools.
