And that's the list, links and all. Now you can go an make an informed decision. But of course, don't forget, I did this:

Nominations for #RunChat Blog Awards


If you are a runner and on twitter, you may have seen the hashtag: #RunChat

If you've seen it, it's probably because it fills up your twitter feed on the 2nd and 4th Sunday of each month. It's "a way for runners of all levels to connect with each other, to share tips, to get advice and, quite simply, to have fun."

Exciting news, they have blog awards. Not so exciting news, nominations end Monday at 8 p.m. ET.

All it takes is a single e-mail and you can nominate:
  • Best overall running blog
  • Best new running blog (must have began the blog in 2011)
  • Funniest running blog
  • Most inspirational running blog
  • Best #runchat participant on Twitter
To nominate bloggers for the categories, simply send an email to runchat@therunchat.com with “#runchat awards” in the subject line by 8 p.m. ET Jan. 9. Include the nominee’s URL and Twitter handle if you know it. You may leave areas blank, but please fill out at least 3 of the categories.

The above instructions were pulled from here where you can read more in detail.

Oh ya, winners get a badge for their blog and a super cool visor. (AHEM, I look pretty cool in a visor — see below). I appreciate your support and it's not too late to vote for you favorite bloggers. All it takes is one nomination to be considered. (Did I mention, I rock the shit out of a visor?)

Becoming FitFluential

If you are on twitter as much as I am, you've probably noticed hash tags that say #fitfluential or seen the official twitter handle @fitfluential

It's not just a clever way to tag your workout, athletic lifestyle or nutritional recommendations. It's a nationwide network of fitness enthusiasts called FitFluential. It was founded by Kelly Olexa in April of this year to help motivate and inspire others. A lot of us bloggers got started looking to not only reach out to others, but to catalogue our journey and self-inspire from current and past experiences. We put our thoughts or challenges down and embrace the community that welcomes us as we share stories similar to theirs with motivation and inspiration flowing both ways. Better to give than to receive? Yes, but it can be both.


I'm proud to announce that I was asked to join the FitFluential Ambassador team. What does this mean? It means I'm joining a network of highly influential people with various areas of interest. From runners, to bloggers, to nutritionist, to yogis, to people interested in keeping a fit lifestyle. I'm happy to join the team and look forward to additional opportunities (through working with brands) and information (through working with other FitFluential Ambassadors) I'll be able to share with you in the future.

Here is my official page. Yep, that's my name and photo. Weird, right?

So, does this mean my holiday list just increased 10 fold?

Feel free to share in the comments how you maintain a fit lifestyle or ways you wish you could improve upon it..
