Little Miss Runner Pants

so, it occured to me earlier today...

uh..

whatever happened to the roundup? eh?

that weekly runorama that highlights fellow blogger's achievements in racing and running (and triathlon...ing) and good story telling!!?!

where'd it go?! is it still going? do we want it to keep going? i realize there are hordes of new bloggers out there, most of which i haven't had the opportunity to read/get to know, but i want to know them. and i especially want to know what my RBFamily, that i do know, has been up to.

cuz, lets face it, i've been a big bad blogging slacker lately, with not a whole lot going on to talk about, so......

*sheepish grin*

SO!! hows about it?!

does anyone know what happened to it? where it went? if it's still going? if people still want it to keep going? i've never hosted, but i'd be willing to get it started again if there were races to report?

or.... not?

i dunno.. just a thought. lemme know if anyone has any bright ideas out there, and uh..

have a great weekend! its BRUTAL out around here, so stay safe, and hydrate!!

---- for the newbie bloggers that have no idea what this is -----

alright. it sounds like some of y'all dont know what i'm talking about, so.. my bad. the roundup was started (as far as i know) by derek rose who.. i have no idea who he is outside of a running guy (although i have a feeling there's more to him than that!!) but he came up with this idea (i'm guessing) and on his site he would post where each week's roundup was for the rest of blogland to follow.

the roundup itself is, to quote the man himself,

"A carnival of the runners, The Rundown is a weekly roundup of the best running-related blog posts. It’s here to interest, amuse, and hopefully inspire runners and non-runners alike who don’t have time to read 230+ running blogs each week."

basically, though, it became kind of a who's been doing what this week type of situation. one person "hosts" (i.e. one person gathers the info and posts it on their blog) and kind of recaps other people's running..

the last one, for reference, that i could find was posted after the chicago marathon, which you can find here...

anyway, its just a great way to kind of see what other runners have been up to, what races are going on, etc, and in the end you always find new fun and entertaining blogs to read and be inspired by.

i miss the roundup, as it's pretty much fallen by the wayside, and i'd love to see it started again. i just don't know if anyone else feels the same, so i was putting some feelers out there!
