Running-Blog.com

I've been wondering for some time now how Branton's Running-Log site fits in with the blog world. I journal here, and I journal there, but for different reasons and with different formats and usages. Yet, I'd still like to be able to automatically incorporate a daily mileage entry in my running log as a short one-liner in my blog, linking to the workout entry for further info.

Most people will still do plain old blogging, lucky if they use a title or main link.

Many will occasionally use a structure. Especially as Blog This buttons proliferate. So you can post an SAP invoice to your intranet blog, for example.

Others will find a few formats that tie in closely with a deep interest or passion, or their jobs. A runner's diary. A movie review. A project status report.

Phil Wolff's entry on semantic blogging holds some insights on how specialized journals, reviews, recipes, invoices, etc. can exist as different forms of the same foundation. Qlogger is doing this, and even has a working Running Log template.

Part of what makes Running-Log.com great, to me, are the team and coaching features. But maybe those can be duplicated in a similar manner with specialization in aggregation.

Another team just signed up for the meet, B -- time to buy a new set of racing spikes ;-)
