1. A Change of Pace by Theresa Unrah
”I am a fan of A Change of Pace by Theresa Unrah. I rarely have the opportunity to meet other bloggers who’s focus is running and health. I was able to meet her at the OKC Memorial Marathon. Theresa is a fellow nurse and almost always has a perspective that is directly related to some health aspect. She is a very regular blogger and never fails to astound me with her ideas and creativity.” – Beth Hardy
“My favorite running blog is http://margaritasmilesandmouse.blogspot.com/. I love it because it is a fellow non-traditional runner who also loves runDisney. She is a mom of five who has pushed through adversity to become a runner. She’s also the go-to place for up to date information on runDisney rumors and news.” -Mary S
”Okay, I have to admit I’ve become a bit of a bloggy (like a foody, but a blog reading connoisseur), so I have a lot of blogs I love. My current favorite is www.amomrunsthistown.com. Emma’s blog is not just a work out log, it’s her life. I love that! A Mom Runs This Town is the perfect mix of funny stories and serious runner stuff. I also love the pictures of her adorable daughter, Gentry. When I read a blog, I want to stay entertained. I enjoy reading about workouts especially marathon training, but it has to be more than that or I get bored. Her fun style of writing always keeps me coming back. She also hosts challenges and give-aways, and who doesn’t like that?”- Leetra Robertson
”My favorite to read that’s not one of the “bigger” blogs – Neon Is My Color I just think she’s a sweetheart. And an inspiration to others. 47, working wife and mom. And just an all around positive energy about her.” -Jenny
Runningtoherdreams is my favorite blog. She is so positive and excited about running that it is infectious. I also like the creative way she see hearts everywhere. - Tom
6. I love www.runsforcookies.com by Katie Foster.
“I love Runs For Cookies by Katie Foster. She is open & very straightforward about her running & her weight issues. I love that she posts her running stats and gives her feedback about how her runs felt to her. Soooooo nice to hear that not every run is a happy, happy super-successful event! It’s reassuring to us “normal”, beginner runners She is quite inspirational as well. She went from a very sedentary, over-weight young lady to a very healthy, active mom who has now completed a marathon.” – Julia
I really enjoy Running on Peanut Butter - Allie is a friend of mine and she inspires me to get my @$$ in gear! She’s over a year into her #runstreak of running at least one mile every day – so not only is she inspiring, she’s crazy! - Janine Ryan
My favorite running blog is www.shutupandrun.net because the author (Beth) is hilarious, honest and a beast when it comes to training and participating in various events. I always read whatever she posts…and usually laugh and sometimes cry…seriously! - Allie
9. Tia Stone
Tia Stone over at Arkansas Runner Mom. (tstonerunnermom.blogspot.com) She is from Arkansas so I’m extra partial she’s a mother to 4, and is wicked fast! She is super motivating and I’m amazed by the times she logs! Definitely check out her blog. - Sarah I
She’s incredibly inspirational and gives me motivation to keep when I see what she has had to overcome. She has great strength to follow her goals and dreams no matter what stands in her way and I think a lot of people can be inspired reading her blog. She also has a perspective not a lot of people have dealing with a teenager with non-verbal autism and yet still pursuing her own dreams so she can be a better mom to her son. It’s awesome! - Erin P
Britt is very inspirational, she is a physical therapist and has some awesome tips! - Mandy
12. “Stop Running Dad!”
“He blogs frequently with a sense of humor with TV references tossed in for good measure. He talks about both his daily running experiences and the balance of training for the Chicago Marathon and being a great Dad, husband and friend. He helps me stay motivated while I train myself as newbie runner and 5k fan. As for myself I blog at about being a newbie runner and running 5ks.” -Adam Codega
I love Run to the Finish. She’s a great runner, athlete and I love her recipes! She’s a veggie like me! -Colleen

25. Jess Runs
I like http://jessruns.com because, like me, she’s a Jessica and she’s a runner. ( plus I love to read about her life in the city. I’m a country girl.) – Run Jess Run
I like Running With Music This woman reflects on the life of a wife, mom and runner. She shares her daily struggles in regard to family and running. Everything hits home, every blog is relatable. Reading it reminds me why running is so important to me. It also helps that I have run many miles with the author in a former college life.
27. Through Heather’s Looking Glass
I nominate Through Heather’s Looking Glass, this blog got me to finally start running and sent me on my journey to train for a marathon. – A Fat Runner
28. 50 BY 25
I follow a lot of running blogs, but by favorite is probably 50 BY 25. She has an AMAZING story of how she broke a world record for being the youngest person to run a marathon in all 50 states. She posts a lot of race recaps and workouts. It’s great! – The Lady Okie Blog

I love Running My Ass Off. He is smart and funny with a determination that cannot be matched. He is a wonderful father and husband to boot! He is a wealth of information for anyone who is one a similar journey as he is. He cares about each person who follows him and will answer every question that comes his way. Defiantly worth checking out – Running While Mommy
31. Run with Jess
I love Run with Jess. She is a military wife/mom, and she writes about balancing fitness with being a mom. She reminds me that I have to take care of myself. Also, I don’t find her intimidating. Her running times seem just enough of a stretch for me that I think I could do the same thing. – Trouble Run
My favorite running blog is Twenty Six And Then Some. She does 5ks, 10ks, half marathons, full marathons, triathlons and has been training for an Ironman that she will complete this weekend. I find her blog very inspirational because she continues to push herself to all different lengths. She motivates me to complete my first marathon that is in November and then continue to try different races. – Run Sara Run
33. Runner Unleashed
My favorite running blog is http://runnerunleashed.com She is a runner who has to deal with pain but runs anyway. She is very motivational, especially since my daughter (who is also a runner and my race buddy) has the same medical condition. She is very inspirational!!! – Fit And Health Journey
I am not a vegetarian, but i cam across “Live from La Quinta: Tales of a Vegan Athlete” – livefromlaquinta.com – about a year ago. I LOVE Debbie’s posts. She has great running tips, and I have tried and shared MANY of her recipes. She is inspirational, honest, and I always enjoy her posts. And She is kind enough to post on my blog sometimes too (she is busy!!! I am flattered!) Thanks to Deb for such a great blog. – Fabulosi T
I nominate “Running While Mommy.” Best blog name ever! Nicole, who writes it is a loving wife and mom and a dedicated runner who faces each challenge with equanimity and grace. And believe me she takes on some mighty big challenges. She writes of her running life, and the rest of her life, with sincerity and humor. Not least of all, she is a wonderful, kind, and generous woman whom I am proud to call my dear friend.

I recommend Jen at www.runnerstrials.com Her blog is about life, not just running. She shares challenges and successes in a very honest way that I appreciate. She allows a glimpse into life that is inspirational and fun. – Barefoot Baby Steps
37. Run Eat Repeat
I love Run Eat Repeat! She started her blog as a journey towards weight loss and ended up becoming an amazing runner! I love how I am able to relate to her.

Both are great runners and bloggers! - Sun Shine Runner
Both are great runners and bloggers! – Sun Shine Runner
I’m torn between these two, so I will list them both!

Therefore I nominate Mary Catherine over at www.travelswithmary.com, and Cori at www.olivetorun.com
40. Olive to Run

A few that I read are already mentioned, and truly enjoy them. Recently I stumbled upon Linda’s heartfelt and honest blog View from the Back of the Pack and have her on my blog roll so I don’t miss a post. She writes about running and life two of my favorite things! -Beth
46. Meals And Miles
My favorite running blog is Meals and Miles http://mealsandmiles.com/. I’ve been running for about 14 months. My first official run was a Race for the Cure in Moline in June 2012. I was able to run for the first two miles, had to walk much of the last 1.1 miles, and finished in about 36 minutes. Since then I’ve run five more 5Ks, finishing my last one in 26:28. In the meantime, I’ve lost about 75 pounds. Meals and Miles is a great blog that I found late one night. It inspired me to start training for a marathon, and introduced me to the great film Spirit of the Marathon. – The Fat Pastor
My motto is “Love God. Live Well. Do Good.” To me, it’s all related. Working for justice, loving your neighbor, and living a healthy lifestyle are all ways to honor God. I believe in a God that loves all, invites all to the table, and wants us all to live in justice, love, and peace. So I’m not sure if I would call myself a running blog, but in the last year I started calling myself a runner, and I’m glad I found this site.
I’ve become good friends with Run Find Your Happy Pace over the past year because we’ve both been injured. Sometimes you have to live through others. She’s a big supporter of Team in Training; having several virtual runs throughout the year with Running In Sanity (http://runninginsanity.blogspot.com/). Their Cupcake Runs have the cutest medals! - Days Run
