Julie Berg trains beginning runners, runs ultras, 5ks, qualifies for Boston and blogs all about it along the way. You can check out her blog Run On at http://julieberg.blogspot.com/
Also check out the other blogs in blognation on the links along the right. I try to add a new blog a week.
If you know of a blog about running in Minnesota that should be added (inlcuding your own), contact me at Michael.d.nawrockiATgmailDOTcom. People have been doing a nice job of pointing me to their own blogs or they like (Run On came at the recommendation of someone else). So don't be shy. Keep those e-mails coming!

Blognation Pop. 4
Chad Austin: cornerstone of the Minnesota running and blogging scene, savvy veteran runner, unofficial and accidental copy editor for this blog, and Blognation's newest member.
Check out Chad's personal running blog, Simon Says... Run.
Chad also has a blog under our MDRA approved linkage section, Running Minnesota. As you may already know, this is where Chad has a collection of interviews of local elites.
Speaking of approved linkage, check out Minnesota Tri News a site already familiar to all your triathletes. But it has a lot of good stuff for everyone. So check it out.

Blognation, population 3
Well this is pretty good timing, and not just because blognation is in dire need of a female presence. With that being said, Steve and Westy you're on notice: don't leave the toilet seat in the up position.
Renee of Renee's Rambling fame is blognations newest resident. Why is this such good timing? Well, it turns out Renee is the race director for this weekend's FitzerFetzer 20k which was featured here.
She also is the person who bakes all the cookies for the race.
So check out her blog. It comes with training and race news, as well as recipes and a lot of good pictures. It's also nice add a blog representing running outside the Twin Cities metro area.
If you are an MDRA member and have a blog you would like to have added to our list of links, contact me at Michael.d.nawrockiATgmailDOTcom and I will check it out and add it to the list.

Blognation Pop. 2
You can't stop blognation; you can only hope to contain it. In seven days, with the addition of the post, blognation has DOUBLED in size. Amazing.
New this week (don't let the name scare you): Steve in a Speedo?! Gross!. Steve is kind enough to add the word "Gross" to the end of that title. So fear not, the blog is not just a picture of some guy standing in front of a mirror flexing in a Speedo. You're thinking of Mike in a Speedo?! AWESOME!!, which is a totally different website.
But as per usual, I digress. Steve in a Speedo, as I was saying, is more about training and racing than anything else. Specifically, triathlon training but with am emphasis on the running. The blog is a definitely an entertaining read. So bike, swim, or run over to his blog and check it out by clicking here.
Hey did you know you only spell triathlon with only one "a"? All these years I assumed it was "triathalon." It's only 7:33 a.m. and I've already learned something new. This promises to be a very educational Wednesday for me.

Blognation Pop. 1
One final weekly feature I want to add to this blog and then we will be set for awhile.
One thing I have discovered over the last few weeks as I have been working on posts is there are A LOT of running blogs out there, all with a lot of great pictures and training or race reports. I personally like to read what other runners are up to. No story is too fast or slow to be of interest.
The breadth of runners in MDRA is impressive. We have trail runners, marathoners, road racers, and people who just like to run and could do without any races. And hopefully, week by week, we can get all those types of runners and more represented in Blognation.
But I prefer to build Blognation up one blog at a time, so it is not overwhelming and suddenly you have 60 new blogs to sift through.
So I will start with Westy's Running. Why? Well because he was the first person to contact me in my initial call for bloggers.
It's safe to say the blogger over at Westy's running likes marthons, mileage, and ultras a lot more than the average runner. As someone who prefers the 5k over anything else, it is nice to see how another cross-section of runners in MDRA live. I will say this, we both share an appreciation for trails over roads.
So this your TO DO list.
1. Head over the Westy's Running and check out his blog. Ophidiophobes may want to wait a few days for the next post.
2. Contact me at Michael.d.nawrockiATgmailDOTcom if you have an MDRA member and have a blog of your own, or one that you enjoy reading. I will highlight the blogs in the order that they are received.
3. Stay tuned every Wednesday as Blognation adds a new member and grows in population.
Please please please contact me. I love hearing from other runners.
